How to Use SD 2 VIP First & Last Frame

  1. Upload 1 or 2 images: A single image is used as the first frame only. Two images define both the opening and closing frames of the video.

  2. Write a prompt: Describe the transition. Example: "A smooth transformation from dawn to dusk over a mountain range."

  3. Set duration: Choose 4–15 seconds. The aspect ratio is determined automatically from the input images.

  4. Retrieve results: Use the request_id to poll or provide a webhook_url for notification.

Common Questions

Frequently asked

What is the difference between First & Last Frame and Image-to-Video?

First & Last Frame uses keyframe mode — both images become structural anchors for the video. Image-to-Video with 2 images works the same way in VIP mode. The key difference is conceptual: First & Last Frame is designed for controlled start-to-end transitions.

Can I use character references in First & Last Frame?

You can use @character:<request_id> or @omni-character:<char_id> in the prompt to include character identity guidance, though these modes work best with actual frame images.
