Overview

Happy Horse Image-to-Video animates a still image into 1080p video with synchronized native audio and multilingual lip-sync. Drop in a portrait, product shot, or scene; describe the motion (or skip it); get back a fully-scored clip with mouth movement that actually tracks the audio.

Key capabilities

  • Native audio + lip-sync: ambient sound, music, dialogue all generated in sync — and if a face is in frame, lips track the speech in 30+ languages
  • Optional prompt: leave it empty for a natural extension of the image, or steer the motion explicitly
  • Aspect-ratio preservation: output keeps the source image's ratio (constrained between 1:2.5 and 2.5:1)
  • 3-15 second clips at 720p or 1080p
  • Strict input requirements: image must be ≥300px on the short side, ≤10MB, JPEG/PNG/WEBP/BMP
