Domo AI Frames to Video
You set the story beats — AI animates everything in between
Upload a start and end frame, or up to 8 keyframes, and Domo AI generates the in-between motion as a smooth MP4. More control than single-image animation, no animation skills required.

The basics
What are frames in a video?
A video is a series of still images — frames — shown quickly, usually 24, 30 or 60 per second. In traditional animation, artists draw the most important poses (keyframes) and then fill in the in-betweens.
Frames to Video works the same way: you supply the keyframes, and the AI creates the in-between frames for smooth motion. That gives you far more control than letting the AI invent the whole clip from one image.
What it is
What can you do with Frames to Video?
Turn a sequence of stills into fluid motion — you provide the structure, the AI provides the transitions.
Keep characters consistent
Every keyframe anchors the design, so faces and outfits drift less.
Animate without filming
Rotate products, transform scenes or bring comic panels to life from images alone.
Make seamless loops
Use the same image as first and last frame for a perfect loop.
Modes
Two ways to work
Start–End Control
Upload a first and a last frame. The AI generates the full transition between them.
- Before → after reveals
- Outfit or season changes
- Seamless loops (same frame twice)
Multi-Frame Keyframes
Upload up to 8 frames in order. The AI moves through each beat for a longer, guided sequence.
- Storyboards and comic panels
- Product angle rotations
- Step-by-step explainers
Step by step
Beginner’s guide →How to use Frames to Video
- 01
Prepare your frames
Same aspect ratio, consistent lighting and color, stable design, and clear differences between frames.
- 02
Choose a mode
Start–End for two frames, Multi-Frame for up to 8.
- 03
Upload in order
Name files 01.png, 02.png… so the sequence is unmistakable.
- 04
Pick settings
Duration, FPS, motion intensity, style, resolution and aspect ratio.
- 05
Generate
The AI renders the in-between frames.
- 06
Review & iterate
Add bridge frames or adjust settings if transitions look rubbery.
Frame checklist
Do
- JPG or PNG files
- Same aspect ratio (9:16, 16:9 or 1:1)
- Same lighting and color grade
- Same character / product design
- Numbered in order
Avoid
- Mixed sizes or crops
- Big jumps in pose + angle + background at once
- Small text and logos
- Busy, changing backgrounds
Recommended settings
| 24 FPS | Cinematic look |
|---|---|
| 30 FPS | Standard for social video |
| 60 FPS | Ultra-smooth motion |
| Motion intensity | Start low; raise it only if motion feels stiff |
| Aspect ratio | 9:16 for TikTok and Reels from the start |
Pro workflow
More tips →Tips for smoother results
Use bridge frames
If two keyframes are very different, add one in between to avoid morphing.
Keep camera language consistent
Either a static camera with a moving subject, or a moving camera with a still subject.
Lock the design
Make outfit or color changes a deliberate single beat, not a drift.
Start vertical
Create every frame in 9:16 if the video is for Shorts, Reels or TikTok.
Don’t overload
Use just enough frames to guide motion — too many creates jittery micro-moves.

Limitations
All limitations →What can go wrong — and how to fix it
| Issue | Why it happens | Fix |
|---|---|---|
| Identity drift | Faces, logos or outfits differ slightly between frames | Keep angles, lighting and design identical; add bridge frames |
| Flicker or jitter | Busy backgrounds, lighting changes, big camera jumps | Simplify backgrounds; keep light and camera angle steady |
| Distorted text | AI struggles with small text, logos and signs | Remove text from frames; add it later in your editor |
| Rubbery motion | Pose, perspective and background all change at once | Change one thing per step; add an in-between keyframe |
| Plan limits | Some plans limit duration or allow Fast mode only | Check your plan on the pricing page |
How to access it
- Sign in to the DomoAI web app (a Discord workflow is also available).
- Open AI Tools → Frames to Video.
- Choose Start–End or Multi-Frame and upload your frames.
Pricing
Frames to Video uses credits from your plan, and the number of videos you can make depends on duration and plan. New users get free starter credits to try it. Some plans run Frames to Video in Fast mode only.

Frames to Video vs other tools
| Tool type | Its advantage | When Frames to Video wins |
|---|---|---|
| Image to video | Fast and simple from one image | You need structure and consistency across beats |
| Text to video | Ideas straight from a prompt | Character consistency matters most |
| Video to video | Restyles footage you already have | You’re building from stills, not footage |
| Template apps | Quick trend output | You want custom, flexible motion |
How is Frames to Video different from Image to Video?
Image to Video animates one picture and lets the AI decide the motion. Frames to Video lets you set the story beats with several keyframes, so you control where the shot starts, where it ends and what happens in between.
How many keyframes can I use?
Up to 8 frames per generation in Multi-Frame mode, or just two — a start and an end frame — in Start–End Control mode.
Why does my character’s face change between frames?
That’s identity drift, usually caused by differences between keyframes. Keep the angle, lighting and design consistent, and add bridge frames where frames differ a lot.
What frame rate should I choose?
24 FPS for a cinematic look, 30 FPS for standard social video and 60 FPS for ultra-smooth motion.
Will text and logos in my frames stay sharp?
Usually not — small text, logos and signs tend to distort. Remove them from your frames and add them as overlays in your editor afterwards.
Can I use Frames to Video commercially?
You own your outputs to the extent permitted by law and can use them commercially, as long as you have the rights to every frame you upload.
Your frames. Smooth motion.
Upload a start and end frame — or up to 8 — and let Domo AI fill in the rest.
