How to make an AI video between a first and last frame
How do I make an AI video that starts on one image and ends on another?
Use a first/last frame model. You give it two images, and it generates the motion that gets from one to the other. This is the most reliable way to control where a shot ends, for transitions, product reveals and matching the next shot in an edit. Kling 3.0, Veo 3.1 and Kling O1 all have a first/last frame mode in OTOY Studio.

The lowest-cost option here is Kling 3.0 (First/Last Frame), from 39 credits (€0.39) per run. Credits are OTOY Studio's currency: 1 credit = €0.01. Prices are list prices before plan discounts (paid plans take 10% to 25% off every run). Every model is on every plan, including Free.
How to do it in OTOY Studio
- Put both frames on the canvas. They should share the subject and roughly the same framing, or the model has to invent a big change.
- Add a first/last frame node and connect the start image and the end image to their inputs.
- Describe the motion between them in the prompt, for example "the camera pushes in as the box opens".
- Run it, then check the last frame against your end image before you cut it into the edit.
Tips
- To make the end frame, edit the start frame with an image model ("same shot, the door is now open"). The two frames then match.
