# How to Turn Editorial Images into Video Content in Caimera

Transforming static editorial images into professional-grade video content is now seamless. Whether you are looking to breathe life into a previous project or create something entirely new, this guide walks you through the streamlined process of converting your images into engaging videos using our integrated tools.

**Step 1:** Navigate to the** Editorial Image Tool** directly from your home page to begin the process.

![Step 1: Click on the Editorial Image Tool on home page.](https://storage.crisp.chat/users/helpdesk/website/-/c/8/b/f/c8bf533b39f9b00/download-2026-04-30t111808636_r28w38.png =800x377)


**Step 2:** Go to the **History** section in the right panel, scroll through your previous work, and select the specific image you wish to animate.

**Step 3:** Once you've selected an image, click the **Generate Video from this Image** button located in the left panel.

![Step 3: The "Generate Video from this Image" button highlighted in the left-hand menu.](https://storage.crisp.chat/users/helpdesk/website/-/c/8/b/f/c8bf533b39f9b00/download-2026-04-30t111757429_1dfcscs.png =800x377)


**Step 4:** Your image will now appear as the "hero" frame. Enter your instructions in the prompt box, including details for camera angles, clip descriptions, or a specific script to guide the Video.

![Step 4: The prompt box where you type in your camera angles and video details.](https://storage.crisp.chat/users/helpdesk/website/-/c/8/b/f/c8bf533b39f9b00/kb-articles-images-56_1amgyor.png =800x378)


**Step 5:** The platform will transition to the **Storyboard Setup**, where it automatically generates a sequence of frames based on your instructions.

|| 💡 Storyboards are free and unlimited on every plan — you only spend credits once you generate the clips.

![Step 5: The screen transitioning as the system builds your initial storyboard sequence.](https://storage.crisp.chat/users/helpdesk/website/-/c/8/b/f/c8bf533b39f9b00/download-2026-04-30t111729693_s3xqdc.png =800x377)


**Step 6:** Once the storyboard is generated you'll be able to see the setup clip by clip. If a specific frame doesn't align with your vision, click the **Regenerate** (arrow) icon on that frame to create a new version. You can also **edit the prompt on any individual clip directly in the storyboard**, so you can adjust a single shot without rebuilding the whole storyboard.

**Step 7:** Once you are satisfied with the storyboard layout, click **Accept** and then select **Generate Video**. The exact credit cost is shown before you generate, and depends on the model, clip duration and whether audio is enabled.

![Step 7: The "Accept & Generate Video" buttons at the bottom of the storyboard.](https://storage.crisp.chat/users/helpdesk/website/-/c/8/b/f/c8bf533b39f9b00/download-2026-04-30t111720304_g32cms.png =800x377)


**Step 8:** You will be redirected to the Video Generation tool, where you can watch the progress as your video is built clip-by-clip. If any clip fails along the way, the credits for that clip are refunded automatically.

![Step 8: The progress bar showing each clip being rendered one by one.](https://storage.crisp.chat/users/helpdesk/website/-/c/8/b/f/c8bf533b39f9b00/download-2026-04-30t111716998_ielfmc.png =800x377)


**Step 9:** Once generation is complete, click **Play** in the center of the screen. You can now use the video editor and its tools to add text, insert logos, or delete specific clips to perfect the flow.

![Step 9: The video editor interface with the play button and timeline tools visible.](https://storage.crisp.chat/users/helpdesk/website/-/c/8/b/f/c8bf533b39f9b00/6306b8f9-4f99-4a0d-89b9-6090b3_6dfxpn.gif =800x377)


**Step 10:** After finalizing your edits, click the **Download** button in the top-right corner to save the high-resolution video file to your device.

The Download button opens a small options popover with an **Add AI disclosure watermark** option, which bakes a discreet text label into the MP4 to mark the video as AI-generated, as required by the EU AI Act. The default wording is "AI Generated/Synthetic Person" and it's fully editable.

![Step 10: Download the video using the download button in the top-right corner.](https://storage.crisp.chat/users/helpdesk/website/-/c/8/b/f/c8bf533b39f9b00/download-2026-04-30t111701613_x1e94b.png =800x377)

Creating multi-clip video content directly within the Editorial Tool has never been more efficient. By leveraging your existing imagery, you can now build a cohesive, multi-channel brand experience without the need for additional production resources or external software. 

This seamless integration eliminates the need to download and re-upload assets, allowing for a more fluid cross-functional workflow. Start transforming your editorial catalog into cinematic video today all within a single, unified workspace.
