Generate Static Video from Image
The Generate Static Video from Image block takes a static image and converts it into an MP4 video file of a specified duration.
Convert a static image into an MP4 video
The Generate Static Video from Image block takes a static image and converts it into an MP4 video file of a specified duration. It accepts an image URL and a duration value in seconds, then produces a video file that holds that image as a still frame for the defined length of time. The resulting video URL is saved to a destination variable you specify, making it available for downstream blocks in your workflow.
The key inputs are the source image URL, the desired duration in seconds, and the name of the variable where the output URL will be stored. There are no motion effects or transitions applied — the output is a straightforward static video clip derived from the provided image.
This block fits into video composition workflows where you need to combine still images with other video segments. It can be used to produce title cards, intertitles, or slates that are then assembled alongside other video clips in a broader editing pipeline.
