Examples
Animate an Avatar
bun .claude/skills/image-to-video/scripts/image-to-video.ts \
--image "/path/to/avatar.png" \
--prompt "Character nodding and blinking naturally" \
--duration 5 \
--output "./avatar-animation.mp4"
Generate with Audio (Kling)
bun .claude/skills/image-to-video/scripts/image-to-video.ts \
--image "/path/to/character.png" \
--prompt "Character says 'Hello, welcome!'" \
--audio \
--model kling \
--output "./speaking-character.mp4"
Tips for Avatar Animation
- Subtle motions work best: "blinking", "nodding slightly", "breathing"
- Avoid large movements: Keep the character mostly in place
- Loop-friendly prompts: End state similar to start state
- Square images: 1:1 aspect ratio works best for avatars
Cost Considerations
- Kling V2.6 Pro: Higher quality, higher cost (~$0.35/5s video)
- Wan V2.6: Good balance of quality and cost
- 5-second videos are more cost-effective than 10-second
