# First & last frames

Choose the still a video starts from—and, where supported, where it ends.

Start and End are two separate image inputs, not two extra video outputs.

### Choose your first frame

Open **Video**, choose a compatible model, then click **Start**. Upload an image or choose one from your project's assets.

### Add an ending, if you need one

Click **End** and choose the final still. Related images usually make a clearer starting point than two unrelated scenes.

### Describe the movement between them

Keep the prompt about motion: what moves, how the camera moves, and what should stay consistent.

```text
Move smoothly from the first frame to the last frame.
Keep the cup and warm morning light consistent.
One continuous shot, no cuts.
```

## Change a frame's role

Click a filled chip to change its role. **First Frame** sets the beginning; **Last Frame** sets the ending. With both filled, **Swap Start/End** reverses them.

A **General Reference** guides appearance instead of defining an endpoint. Available frame and reference controls depend on the model.
