Makes a short launch-film scene as an MP4 clip: a headline inks in, a dot grid lights up beside the steps, takes on a picture's colours, squares off into it and flips through versions. It shows the person's own product, words, screenshots or pictures in real type and smooth motion (about 7 s), works alone as a social clip or as one scene in a longer launch film, at 16:9, 9:16, 1:1 or 4:5. Renders locally with Chrome and ffmpeg; no video model, no key and no cost. Use when an image model or generator should show how a picture comes together, or when someone asks for a "dot grid to image" animation, motion graphic or product clip.

About this skill

You say

Show "Sketch, Layout, Paint, Upscale" building a mountain photo, then two variations. About us: Image model Lattice; three pictures.

It said back

The clip is rendered: ./dot-grid-to-image/lattice-mountain.mp4. It is 7.1 s, 1920×1080 at 30 fps, about 1 MB. The layout check found no problems.

  • What it shows: The headline "A mountain photo, built in four steps" inks in. The dot grid lights up beside Sketch, Layout, Paint and Upscale, takes on the picture's colours, squares off into the finished image, then flips through two variations.
  • Look: night, a dark stage with a blue accent. I picked it because Lattice is an image model. Say so if you'd rather have studio or swiss, or a brand colour.
  • The three pictures: The finished image is photo-1.png, a sunset over hills. The two variations are photo-4.png (peach and teal hills) and photo-8.png (green hills). I picked the three that read as hill landscapes, so the set looks like one scene in three palettes.
  • Not quite a mountain: None of your files is clearly a mountain photo; they are all stylised hills or city skylines. If you have actual mountain pictures, send them and I'll swap them in.
  • Sound and logo: The clip has no sound. The Lattice logo is in the project folder, but this scene doesn't display it.
