[Read the docs ](https://docs.modelslab.com)

### What is Hailuo 02 Start/End Frame Image To Video?

Hailuo 02 Start/End Frame is an AI video generation model that converts static images into dynamic videos by setting precise start and end frames. You provide two images (before and after), add a motion description, and the model generates a seamless video transition between them.

### How does the Start/End Frame feature work?

Upload your first frame and last frame, then describe the video content you want generated. The model interpolates realistic motion between the two keyframes using physics-aware diffusion. You can also use End Frame Only if you only need the ending position.

### What resolutions and durations are supported?

Standard model supports 768p at 6 or 10 seconds. Pro model supports 1080p at 6 seconds. Both output at 25fps in MP4 format with processing times of approximately 4 minutes (Standard) and 8 minutes (Pro).

### What image formats and specifications are required?

Supported formats include JPG, JPEG, PNG, WebP, GIF, and AVIF. Images must have an aspect ratio between 2:5 and 5:2, minimum 300px on the shorter side, and maximum file size of 20MB for optimal results.

### How is Hailuo 02 Start/End Frame different from standard image-to-video?

This model gives you precise keyframe control by setting both beginning and ending positions, enabling creative morphing effects and directional motion. Standard image-to-video generates motion from a single image without endpoint specification.

### What are best practices for optimal video quality?

Use high-quality source images with clear subjects, write descriptive prompts specifying motion type and cinematography details, and ensure images meet technical specifications. Detailed prompts about lighting, composition, and camera movement yield better results.
