Makes a short launch-film scene as an MP4 clip: a photo is dropped into a prompt box, a question is typed and sent, and a row of similar pictures appears. It shows the person's own product, words, screenshots or pictures in real type and smooth motion (about 8 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 a visual search, shopping or travel product finds things like a picture, or when someone asks for a "search by photo" animation, motion graphic or product clip.

It said back

I rendered the clip, but it doesn't show a sofa. The folder had no sofa photos, only landscape illustrations, so I used the closest ones as stand-ins.
