Is first and last frame video AI free?

No, each video uses credits. After you pick the length, resolution and aspect ratio, the exact quote appears before you generate.

How long can first and last frame videos be?

4, 6 or 8 seconds, made by Veo 3.1 Fast at 720p or 1080p. The video is silent.

How should I prepare the two images?

Use the same subject with similar framing, perspective and lighting, as JPG, PNG or WebP up to 8 MB each, and upload both before generating. Swapping them changes the direction of the transition you ask for; it doesn't reverse a finished video.

Will it loop seamlessly or match both frames exactly?

Not guaranteed. The two images guide the transition rather than fixing every frame. Using the same image twice gave visible cloud motion, not a guaranteed seamless loop, so check the join before you loop it. Very different images can ghost or morph.

What if the transition fails or looks wrong?

If generation fails or the file fails our check, the credits are returned automatically. A delivered transition is still charged, so check how closely it matches your frames and look for ghosting and unexpected objects.

For a camera transition, use the same subject with similar framing. Large changes in shape or viewpoint can produce ghosting or distortion; first/last frames are not exact interpolation. Review the full video after download.

About first and last frame video on Cicadas

Upload an opening image and a closing image, then describe one continuous camera or lighting change between them. First and last frame video AI on Veo 3.1 Fast turns the pair into a silent 4, 6 or 8 second private MP4; the start and end frames guide the move, but an exact match isn't guaranteed. You see the exact credit quote before you generate.

Why use Cicadas for first and last frame video

Turn a first and last frame into one video

Upload two JPG, PNG or WebP images up to 8 MB each, check their order, choose 4, 6 or 8 seconds and generate one private, silent Veo 3.1 Fast MP4.

Pick start and end frames that match

Use the same subject with similar lighting, framing and perspective, and describe a camera or lighting move. Big changes in shape or scene can cause ghosting, duplicates or unwanted morphing.

Know what a two-frame video can do

In the examples, the same image used twice gave visible cloud motion but not a guaranteed seamless loop, and two different product frames showed ghosting. Check every result in full before you use it.

How to use first and last frame video

01
Upload the first and last images as JPG, PNG or WebP, up to 8 MB each, with the same subject, lighting and perspective.
02
Check the order (tap Swap first and last images if needed), pick a transition preset and edit its prompt.
03
Choose 4, 6 or 8 seconds, resolution and aspect ratio, check the credit quote, generate once, then watch the whole transition and download the MP4.

First and last frame video prompt ideas

Copy one into the prompt box above and adapt it to your shot. Or write your own shot by shot in the prompt generator.

“Move the camera slowly from the opening wide composition toward the closing close-up. Keep the same subject rigid and stable; no cuts, duplicates or morphing.”
“Keep the camera locked while lighting changes gradually from the opening image toward the closing image. Preserve scene geometry and subject shape.”
“For matching endpoint images, keep the landscape stable while clouds drift gently and return toward their initial positions; inspect the join before treating it as a loop.”

First and last frame video FAQ

Tested on Cicadas · reviewed 2026-09-29

Two eight-second Veo 3.1 Fast clips made on Cicadas: a paper-island loop from two identical frames, with visible cloud motion, and a product push-in between two different frames that showed ghosting. The two images guide the transition; exact in-between frames, big scene changes and seamless loops are not guaranteed.
