AI image and video guides

Practical guides from Solistra on choosing a model, writing prompts, animating photos, making product cards and cutting clips. Every article lists its sources at the end.

• How to animate a photo with AI

  Animating a photo with AI means generating a short video where your image becomes the first frame and a text prompt describes how people, objects and the camera move. The result depends on three choices: the photo, the model and the way you describe motion.

• The best AI video models in 2026, compared by task

  The best AI video model is the one that is strongest at your task: Kling for motion and camera control, Veo 3.1 for sound and dialogue, Seedance 2.5 for scenes built from many assets, MiniMax and Hailuo for facial expression, Wan 3.0 for long takes. This comparison is based on official developer documentation and the Solistra catalog.

• How to write prompts for Kling

  A Kling prompt is a scene description built on the formula subject, motion, scene, camera, lighting and atmosphere, and in newer versions it also carries asset roles, timestamps and an audio block. Kling responds better to plain sentences and one clear action than to long lists of adjectives.

• Veo prompt guide: video with sound and dialogue

  A Veo prompt describes picture and sound together: subject, action, scene, camera and style, followed by separate sentences for quoted dialogue, sound effects and ambience. Veo 3.1 generates audio for every clip, so anything you leave out of the prompt the model will invent on its own.

• Editing photos in Nano Banana with plain text

  Nano Banana is the family of Google Gemini image models that edit a photo from a plain sentence: add or remove an object, swap the background, change the light, style or outfit. The key technique is telling the model not only what to change but also what to keep.

• Seedance guide: references, multi shot scenes and style

  Seedance is the ByteDance family of video models that builds a clip from text plus many assets: images, videos and audio, each with an assigned role. Version 2.5 tells a story of up to 30 seconds in stages, keeps characters and props consistent across shots and generates speech, music and effects.

• How to write prompts for AI images

  An image prompt is a description of the picture you want that names, in order, its purpose, subject, action, setting, style, lighting and composition, with any exact text in quotes. Modern models understand a coherent description of a scene better than a comma separated list of keywords.

• AI product photos for Wildberries and Ozon that keep your listing safe

  An AI product photo for a marketplace is a shot of the real product where AI changes the background, scene, lighting or model while the item itself, its shape, color, logo and labels stay exact. It saves a photo shoot without misleading buyers, which means fewer returns and complaints.

• How to turn a long video into Shorts and VK Clips with subtitles

  Cutting a long video into Shorts means finding self contained moments in a podcast, stream or webinar, reframing them to vertical 9:16 and adding subtitles. A good clip opens with its strongest line, runs as long as the idea needs and makes sense with the sound off.

• AI photoshoot with your own face: which photos to upload

  An AI photoshoot is a set of pictures a model creates from your photos: it learns your appearance from a batch of shots and then places you in any outfit, scene or style without a photographer. The quality depends almost entirely on the photos you upload.

• How to use Kling, Veo and Nano Banana from Russia

  You can use Kling, Veo and Nano Banana from Russia without a VPN or a foreign card through a service that works with the models itself and takes payment in rubles. In Solistra you pay with a Russian bank card or SBP, and requests to foreign models are sent only after you consent to cross border data transfer.

• How to make videos with Claude or ChatGPT over MCP

  MCP (Model Context Protocol) is an open standard that lets AI assistants such as Claude and ChatGPT connect to external services and call their tools. Over MCP your Claude or ChatGPT connects to Motion in Solistra and assembles a video from scenes, text and music while the preview and timeline update live.
