Animate V5.1 turns a platform-generated image into a video with audio from a detailed scene description. It is experimental: audio quality and synchronization may vary. Version numbers identify different generation methods, not a quality ranking.
To create a V5.1 video
Animate V5.1 scene prompts
With Animate V5.1, describe the scene in detailed, natural-language sentences: the subjects, setting, action and sequence, camera movement, and any dialogue or sounds.
We recommend Enhance prompt next to the prompt field. It is optional and shows its token cost before use. Review or edit the result, or use Undo enhancement to restore your wording. You can generate directly without enhancement. Extensions are optional, and results may vary.

Extending a V5.1 video
On Platinum and Diamond, open your completed V5.1 video and click Extend Scene to add another segment. Diamond can add up to 15 seconds per segment, up to 5 minutes total per scene. Your finished footage stays unchanged, only the new segment is charged, and the result is private. A video that has been upscaled cannot be extended.
