Actual Materials and Result

Lift an Origami Crane off the Table

This actual Veo 3.1 Fast output starts from a still image and lifts the origami crane above the table. Compare the paper folds and tabletop shadow through the whole clip. A drawn direction guides the motion without guaranteeing a pixel-exact path.

Turn a motion guide into a video

1. Upload and draw

Choose a JPEG, PNG or WebP. Draw an arrow near the subject to indicate direction, or place a short written instruction. Editing stays in your browser.

2. Review and confirm motion

Save the clean image and annotation preview separately. Analyze the annotations when available, or describe the subject and motion manually. Edit and confirm the instructions before generating.

3. Generate and review

Review the credit cost and generate. Veo receives only the clean image and your confirmed text instructions. Review the result before downloading.

Draw to Video questions

Are annotations sent to Veo?

No. The clean source image and confirmed motion text are sent to Veo. Arrows, text and brush strokes remain in a separate analysis preview. Generated motion may still differ from your instructions.

How should I draw motion?

Place one clear arrow near the subject without covering faces or important details. Describe one movement at a time, keep labels short, and clarify the desired action in motion notes.

Is it free?

The image editor is free to use. Video generation consumes credits; the generator displays the current cost and access requirements.

What happens to my image and annotations?

Editing happens locally. Saving while signed in uploads separate clean and annotation images. Links may be accessible to anyone who has them. When analysis is enabled, OpenRouter processes both images and drawing geometry. Veo receives only the clean image and confirmed text. Use images you have permission to process.

Which model does this use?

Veo 3.1 Fast creates the video. When enabled, Gemini 3.1 Flash Lite via OpenRouter interprets annotations before you confirm. If analysis is unavailable or the subject is uncertain, describe it explicitly before generating.
