Upload your image, open Copilot, select Gen-4 Image, and describe the motion you want. The model preserves the subject and visual style of the source while bringing it to life.
What kinds of stills work best with Gen-4 Image?
Cinematic frames, character portraits, environment plates, and product shots animate cleanly. It is the right pick when you have a key still you want to extend into a moving shot.
Does Gen-4 Image keep character identity consistent?
Yes. Identity, costume, and visual style stay locked while motion is generated forward, useful for character-driven sequences and narrative beats.
How does Gen-4 Image compare with Kling and Seedance for image-to-video?
