How to use it

NOLGIA Agent asks these questions in a chat, one at a time, with your own material.

  1. Your finished still

    Add one photo from your device or your Library. The cover, poster, thumbnail or post to animate. The clip ends exactly on it.

  2. Words to animate inOptional

    Write it in your own words. The words on the still that should arrive, exactly as they read, like the title and a tagline. Skip it and we read them off the still.

    For example: MIDNIGHT DRIVE

  3. How should it move?Optional

    Pick one. Pick the motion. Skip it and we use a slow push in.

    • Slow push in
    • Parallax drift
    • Elements assemble
    • Light sweep
    • Focus pull
    • Living scene

  4. How long?Optional

    Pick one. Five seconds suits most feeds.

    • 4 seconds
    • 5 seconds
    • 6 seconds
    • 8 seconds

  5. SoundOptional

    Pick one. A short sound bed comes with it. Pick Silent for a muted file.

    • With sound
    • Silent

  6. How should it end?Optional

    Pick one. Land on your still, or loop back to it seamlessly.

    • Lands on the still
    • Seamless loop

  7. Create

    Press Create and NOLGIA Agent makes your video from your answers, in the chat, and saves it to your Library. It takes 3 to 6 min.

About this preset

Give us a finished still, a cover, a poster, a thumbnail or a launch post, and get a four to eight second clip that animates into it. The scene comes alive first, then the words arrive in your own typefaces and colors, and the clip settles and lands exactly on your still, so the last frame is the picture you made. Pick how it moves (a slow push in, a parallax drift, elements assembling, a light sweep, a focus pull or a quietly living scene), silent or with sound, and whether it lands on the still or loops back to it seamlessly. It runs on Seedance 2.5: a clean start frame is made from your still, your still is pinned as the final frame so the clip lands exactly on it, and it follows naturally from a cover, poster or thumbnail you made here.

Use cases

  • Album, single and book cover reveals for the feed
  • Animated YouTube thumbnails and Shorts covers
  • Poster and event announcements that move
  • Launch posts that land on the product shot
  • Looping feed cards from a static design

Examples

Made with this preset, with the prompt behind each one.

  • Shorts cover reveal, 5 seconds: the scene comes alive, I LIVED TINY arrives word by word, and the clip lands on the finished thumbnail

    A cover reveal: a short clip that animates into the finished still given as the end frame and lands on it exactly. For the first third of the clip the scene of the still comes alive with none of its words showing yet, moving as THE MOTION line below describes. Through the middle third the words listed under THE TEXT below arrive one at a time in the still's own typefaces, colors and sizes, each sliding or fading into its exact final place. The final third settles and holds, and the last frame is the still itself, every word spelled and placed exactly as the still shows it. The picture stays true to the still throughout, the same subject, palette, light and layout, and the only words that ever appear are the ones printed on the still. THE TEXT: I LIVED TINY. THE MOTION: a slow steady push in toward the final framing with soft parallax between the subject and the background.
