PopiArt Image To Video Basic

This is an official PopiArt runtime catalog skill.

• Popiart_skillhub owns the public skill definition.
• popiartServer owns source resolution, jobs, artifacts, and stable media URLs.
• PopiNewAPI owns provider routing and image-to-video model access.
• popiartcli owns discovery, run, jobs, artifacts, and the current built-in direct-fallback bridge for this baseline skill when the remote catalog entry is still a placeholder.

Use it when the goal is to:

• animate one still image into one short clip
• generate a start-end-frame clip when the selected video route/model supports it
• validate the basic PopiArt video path
• generate a quick motion preview from an artifact or image URL

Do not use it for:

• long-form editing
• multi-shot generation
• text-only video generation

Required input

• one image source:
  • source_artifact_id, or
  • image_url, or
  • reference_image_url

Optional input

• prompt
• negative_prompt
• last_frame_image_url
• end_frame_image_url
• last_frame_artifact_id
• end_frame_artifact_id
• images
• metadata
• duration_s
• seconds
• fps
• camera_motion
• motion_intensity
• style
• size
• aspect_ratio
• seed
• notes

Workflow

1. Prefer source_artifact_id when the source image already comes from PopiArt.
2. Use image_url only when the source already lives at a stable URL.
3. For start-end-frame video, pass the first frame as the normal source and the final frame as last_frame_image_url / last_frame_artifact_id; gateway-compatible callers may also pass images[0] + images[1].
4. Keep the clip short and the motion instruction singular.
5. Run through popiart and wait for the job.
6. Pull the returned artifact when a local file is needed.

Command pattern

popiart run popiskill-video-image2video-basic-v1 --input @params.json --wait

Inline example:

popiart run popiskill-video-image2video-basic-v1 --input '{"source_artifact_id":"art_123","prompt":"the camera slowly pushes in while the hair moves in the wind","duration_s":5}' --wait

Payload template

{
  "source_artifact_id": "art_123",
  "prompt": "the camera slowly pushes in while the hair moves in the wind",
  "duration_s": 5,
  "camera_motion": "slow push-in",
  "seed": 42
}

Start-end-frame template:

{
  "image_url": "https://example.com/first-frame.jpg",
  "last_frame_image_url": "https://example.com/last-frame.jpg",
  "prompt": "transition naturally from the first frame to the final frame",
  "duration_s": 5,
  "metadata": {
    "action": "firstTailGenerate"
  }
}

Output handling

After the job finishes:

• read job_id
• inspect artifact_ids
• inspect execution_mode and model_id when the CLI had to use the built-in direct-fallback bridge
• use popiart artifacts pull <artifact-id> to save the video locally

Operating guidance

• For local source files, upload first with popiart artifacts upload ./source.png --role source.
• reference_image_url is a compatibility alias for image_url.
• end_frame_image_url is a compatibility alias for last_frame_image_url.
• seconds is a compatibility alias for duration_s.
• If the user only has text, run popiskill-image-text2image-basic-v1 first.
