Bring your Shots to life with video animation

Transform your static Shots into dynamic videos by experimenting with different animation models. daisy's unique approach lets you take the same image and try it across multiple leading animation engines — Kling, Veo, and Seedance. This model-swapping capability means you can explore different motion styles without recreating your Shot, giving you creative control to find the perfect animation approach for each project.

Video Capabilities

Audio

Several models can generate videos with synchronized audio. When enabled, audio roughly doubles the credit cost.

Audio-capable models: Kling 3 Standard, Kling 3 Pro, Veo 3.1, Veo 3.1 Fast, Seedance 1.5 Pro.

HD Video

Seedance 1.5 Pro supports an HD option that increases output resolution. Enabling HD roughly doubles the credit cost.

4x Batch

Generate 4 videos at once with a batch discount. 4x batches cost approximately 3.77x the single price (~6% per-video savings).

Video Edit

Kling O1 can edit existing videos using AI. Provide a source video and describe the changes you want (102–228 credits). See Kling → for details.

Video Extend

Veo 3.1 can extend existing videos by 7 seconds (336 credits). See Veo → for details.


How to Animate Your Shots

Step-by-Step Process

1. Select your starting image

2. Choose your animation model

3. Set your format

Choose from Square (1:1), Portrait (9:16), or Landscape (16:9) format options.

4. Generate your video


Batch Animation

One of daisy's most powerful advantages is batch animation, which lets you animate multiple Shots consistently across different models and formats. This maintains visual cohesion across projects while saving time and ensuring consistency that's difficult to achieve manually.


Prompting Tips

Effective animation prompting requires understanding things like how duration affects each model's output and crafting clear descriptions that guide the motion. Descriptive prompts help all models produce better results, though each animation engine responds differently to timing and narrative structure.

When creating animations with models like Seedance for example, keep your narration between 7-15 words to fit comfortably inside a 5-second clip. This timing constraint ensures your message remains clear and impactful without overwhelming the visual motion.

Different motion types work better with specific models and durations. Camera movements like gentle pans and smooth zooms work well across all models, while object animations and atmospheric effects require more specific direction to achieve professional results.
