Guide to First and Last Frame Control

Use First Frame and Last Frame in getimg.ai to control how your video starts and ends. Learn how to add them and when each option applies.

What Is First and Last Frame Control

This feature lets you use your own images as specific frames in the generated video:

  • First Frame sets the opening shot. The video begins from this image.
  • Last Frame sets the closing shot. The video transitions into this image by the end.

First Frame

camera zooms in as the driver opens the car door and steps out to look at the ocean, wind moving his clothes

You can use First only, or First and Last together in a single generation. There is no Last Frame only mode.

Limitations

  • You can set at most one First Frame and one Last Frame.
  • You cannot combine First or Last with reference images in the same generation. Choose frames or references, not both.

Availability

  • Auto mode supports First and Last Frame Control.
  • All Custom mode models support First Frame. Last Frame Control depends on the model you choose. See the Video Models Guide for details.
