What do I need to start?

One image you can use and a short description of the movement or camera behavior you want.

Can it animate a product image or portrait?

Yes. Product photos, portraits, illustrations, and AI artwork can become the opening frame of a short directed clip.

Will every detail stay identical?

The workflow treats your named details as priorities and reviews the result against the source, but generative motion can introduce visual drift.
