Viva.ai

You write a description and Viva.ai returns a short clip with motion that matches the scene. Prompts work best when they name the subject, the camera move and the light, since the model has no other context to lean on. This is the fastest path from an idea to something you can post.

Upload a still and the tool adds movement while keeping the original subject recognizable. It suits portraits, product shots and travel photos where the composition already works. The output depends heavily on the source image: a sharp, well lit photo animates far better than a compressed screenshot.

Magic Brush animates only the area you paint, so a waving hand or a flickering candle moves while the rest of the frame stays still. AI Repaint goes further and redraws a selected region with a new prompt. Both tools cut the number of full regenerations you need when one detail is wrong.

These are the cleanup tools that save a shoot. Magic Eraser removes unwanted objects, Magic Expand fills in the frame when you need a wider crop for a banner, and Background Removal isolates a subject for a clean product card. None of them require a layered editor.

A separate enhancement pass sharpens soft footage and pushes images toward 4K. It helps most with old phone photos and reused assets that were saved at low quality. The result looks cleaner, but it cannot invent detail that the original never captured.

The template library covers the effects that trend on short video platforms: squish, curl, muscle, wink, wings and seasonal looks. Lip Sync adds speech driven mouth movement for talking head clips. Templates remove most of the prompt work, which makes them the easiest entry point for a first project.
