  3. Step 2. Upload a clean photo, pick the model. A busy or blurry photo gives worse motion. Upload it, then pick the DomoAI 2.5 model under Customize. Screenshot: Image to Video with a candle photo uploaded and DomoAI 2.5 selected.

  4. Step 3. Write the motion prompt. Name the subject, one clear action, the setting, the style and a camera move. Then say what must not change. Choose 9:16 and 5 seconds. Screenshot: Motion prompt filled in, with 9:16 and 5s chosen.

  5. Step 4. Watch the whole clip. Check the credit cost before you confirm, then play the clip. The candle, the label and the table should stay the same. Only the flame and the camera should move. Screenshot: First generated version in a 9:16 preview with Play and Generate another version.

  6. Step 5. Compare two, download one. One take is a guess. Generate another version, play both, pick the steadiest candle and click Download. Screenshot: Version 1 and Version 2 side by side, ready to compare.

  7. Before you post. Watch it once more. Check the candle, label and colors against the real product. DomoAI’s own guide suggests the Video Upscaler only after the motion works. Watermark-free output is a paid-plan feature: check domoai.app/pricing and its terms first.
