Turn a still image into a short video with your AI agent
One connector, one credit balance, and a clip that started life as a single frame.
Cancel anytime before day 7 · no lock-in
A still is where the work starts, not where it ends
A product shot, a hero image, a rendered mockup. These do their job on a page, but a feed rewards motion. A short clip earns more attention in the first second, and you already have the raw material sitting in your image library.
The old path was to hand that image to a video editor or a motion designer and wait. With an AI agent connected to Figgshield, the image and the clip come from the same conversation, with one credit balance covering both.
How the handoff actually works
Figgshield is an MCP connector your agent talks to at https://api.figgshield.ai/mcp. When you generate an image, it comes back with an id. To make a video, you pass that id to the video step and describe the motion you want. The agent never re-uploads the picture, it references the frame you already made.
The image model is Nano Banana 2 from Google. The video models are Kling 3 and a faster Kling 3 Turbo tier. Because the two live behind one connector, you go from prompt to still to clip without leaving your agent or juggling separate accounts.
Writing the motion, not just the scene
The still already fixed the composition, so your video prompt is about what moves and how. Name the subject, the camera, and the pace. "Slow push in on the coffee cup, steam rising, background softly out of focus" gives the model a direction. "Make it cinematic" does not.
Keep the motion small when the image is detailed. A gentle parallax or a slow zoom holds up better than a fast pan that smears the frame. If you want a product to stay legible, say so, and keep the camera move short enough to read inside five seconds.
- Subject: what should move, such as hair, steam, water, or fabric
- Camera: push in, pull out, orbit, or static with parallax
- Pace: slow and steady usually beats fast
What a clip costs
Pricing is at cost. Figgshield does not mark up the models, so a credit buys the same compute the model provider charges for. One balance covers both images and video.
A still from Nano Banana 2 is 8 credits at 1K or 2K, and 16 credits at 4K. A five-second video clip is 35 credits. So a full image to video run, one 2K frame plus one clip, is 43 credits.
The $5 Pro trial runs seven days and includes 150 credits, roughly three full runs to test the workflow end to end. There is no free tier. Cancel before day seven and you pay nothing more.
Where your files go, and for how long
A finished image or clip sits on a private link for seven days, then it is deleted. Download what you want to keep and move it into your own storage or project.
A reference image you send in is used in memory for that generation and never stored. If you are working with unreleased product shots or client assets, that matters.
The agents this plugs into
Figgshield works with Claude on desktop and in Claude Code, with Cursor and Windsurf, and with ChatGPT in Developer Mode on paid plans. Any MCP agent can call it.
That means the same workflow fits whether you are a designer prototyping in Cursor or a marketer drafting captions in Claude. Add the connector once and the image to video step is just another thing you can ask for. Check your credit balance any time.
