Frame-first output in DaVinci

In DaVinci, Pika 2.2 composes a still opening frame before any motion is added, so subject placement, framing, and lighting are resolved before the clip starts moving.

Start from your image in DaVinci

Inside DaVinci, upload a still and Pika 2.2 uses it as the first frame of the video, so the product, character, or layout you shot stays exactly as you framed it.

720p or 1080p output in DaVinci

In DaVinci, draft at 720p while you are still testing an idea, then re-run the same setup at 1080p once the shot is right and the clip is going out.

Set the clip length in DaVinci

Choose 5 or 10 seconds before you generate in DaVinci. Five fits a single beat or a product turn, ten leaves room for an action to finish, and either way you know the exact length you are cutting against.

DaVinci for content creators

Inside DaVinci, turn a prompt or a photo from your camera roll into a 5 or 10 second clip for reels and shorts, and re-run it until the motion lands the way you want.

In DaVinci, build concepts that open on your own product still rather than a generated stand-in, and hand clients a 1080p cut the same day.

DaVinci for filmmakers and creative teams

Sketch a shot before it reaches a storyboard through DaVinci. Set the opening frame yourself, keep the length to 5 or 10 seconds, and use the result as a moving reference.

Powerful features in DaVinci

Inside DaVinci, Pika 2.2 runs every video through a first frame, either built from your prompt or uploaded by you, then animates it at 720p or 1080p.

Two-stage generation in DaVinci

In DaVinci, a text prompt is turned into a still image first and animated second, so composition is settled as a picture before motion is applied.

Image as first frame in DaVinci

Inside DaVinci, a still you upload becomes frame one of the clip, so the video opens on the exact composition you supplied instead of a reinterpretation of it.

Two resolutions in DaVinci

In DaVinci, 720p and 1080p are available on both text and image input, so the resolution is a choice at generation time rather than a property of the route you took.

Fixed clip lengths in DaVinci

Duration is set to 5 or 10 seconds up front, so output length is decided before generation instead of trimmed afterwards through DaVinci.

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes. Add the image as Start Image in DaVinci’s Video composer, then describe what moves and what must remain unchanged. Check the generated first frame against the source.

In DaVinci’s Video composer, use Start Image for the opening frame. Add a clear source image, then tell Pika 2.2 what should move while preserving the subject’s defining details. Check the first frame in the result against the source.

In DaVinci, open the active Pika 2.2 settings and choose one of the resolution options shown there. Match the resolution to the delivery platform, then inspect the downloaded clip for sharpness and unwanted cropping.

Play the entire Pika 2.2 clip once at normal speed and once with attention to transitions. Check motion continuity, subject identity, framing, text, and visible artifacts. If the model includes audio, listen for timing and pronunciation before exporting.

In DaVinci’s Video workspace, select Pika 2.2, enter the subject, action, setting, and camera move, then set duration and aspect ratio. Add a Start Image for an image-led clip; review the credit cost before generating.

Give Pika 2.2 one clear shot: subject, action, setting, camera move, and light. Example: “Start from the uploaded portrait; the person looks up and smiles as the camera moves closer, keeping facial features consistent.” Add dialogue or sound only when needed, then revise one instruction after reviewing the result.

Before generating with Pika 2.2, check the prompt’s subject and action, any Start Image or End Image, framing, aspect ratio, duration, resolution, and displayed credit cost. Add audio direction only when you want sound. These checks happen before the clip is made.

Compare frame one with the source image, then inspect the last frame for subject identity and scene continuity. Look for sudden changes in lighting or object shape.

Yes. Make a new Pika 2.2 version with a specific revision, such as “keep the opening frame and subject, but slow the camera push-in.” Reuse the same source image or clip when applicable, then compare both results for unintended changes.

Reuse the same source photo as Start Image and make the motion instruction smaller. Ask for a gentle expression or camera move while keeping facial features unchanged. Compare the new clip with the photo frame by frame before using it.
