PLAIN-LANGUAGE DEFINITION
Image-to-video
Image-to-video generation uses a still image as an input for creating a moving clip.
IN PRACTICE
An example
A product still may become a short shot with camera or subject movement.
What this does not tell you
Generated movement can alter labels or geometry; it is not equivalent to filmed evidence.
Use the term precisely
When you use this term in a brief or report, include the relevant source, scope and assumptions. An example explains the concept; it is not a benchmark or a promise of results.
