deep-imager AI Image Generator: Still First, Then Video

By Ines Ghosh|

Do not spend a video credit to discover the frame. Use the AI image generator’s still modes first.

Text to image, image to image, then Sora 2 or Veo 3.

Why stills before Veo 3 or Sora 2?

A still is cheaper to reject. Framing mistakes in video waste a larger credit.

Text to image finds the scene. Image to image locks it. Video adds motion.

Text to image example: a prompt and the AI-generated artwork produced by deep-imager
A text to image result — type a prompt and the AI image generator turns it into a finished visual.

How do you hand a keyframe to video mode?

Keep the prompt, switch mode, pick Sora 2 or Veo 3, and describe camera motion only.

If image-to-video is on the model card, upload the still.

Image to image in action — upload a reference and steer edits with natural language.

What should the 5 free credits be used for?

Four stills and at most one short clip, unless you only came to test video.

Basic $1/month (10 credits) is still a still-heavy plan. Read how credits work for video rates.

deep-imager AI image generator workspace: mode tabs, model selector, style controls, and credit display
The deep-imager workspace — switch between text to image and image to image modes, pick a model, and generate in one place.

How long is the wait?

Stills often 30 seconds–2 minutes; video can sit in the same band or longer depending on queue.

Stay on the workspace until status completes so you do not double-submit.

Start in text to image or image to image, pick a model such as GPT-4o image, then check pricing from $1/month and how credits work before a long run.
