MADE IN SPICY MAYO · H3 MAX
Meet the model behind our mascot
Our dragon was animated from a still image with H3 Max. Try it for a character introduction, a gentle product reveal, or a scene with deliberate camera movement.
On current plans, a 6-second H3 Max video costs 60 credits at 480P, 96 at 768P, or 192 at 1080P. Earlier subscribers see their original rates in the studio.

Text to video
Describe the subject, action, setting, and camera movement. Keep your first clip focused on one moment.
Try a cinematic product prompt →Photo and image to video
Upload a JPG, PNG, or WebP up to 4 MB. Describe what should move and what should stay consistent.
Try a character animation prompt →Frames and references
Supported models accept first and last frames or reference images. Choose the mode in the studio; it will ask for the right number of images.
Compare supported modes →Turn a photo into a video, without starting over
Photo-to-video and image-to-video use the same workflow in Spicy Mayo: one image supplies the starting composition, and your prompt describes the motion. A product photo, portrait, illustration, or AI-generated character can be the reference. The model generates new frames; it does not recover an original recording.
For a product, start with a slow camera move and keep labels visible. For a portrait or character, try a blink or small head turn with a locked camera. Large turns, fast action, and several scene changes give the model more details to invent.

Use these motion prompts as starting points. Choose a supported mode and review the full clip, including its final frame.
A cinematic product concept
A sculptural amber glass bottle on a dark stone surface. A single warm beam of light moves slowly across the glass as the camera gently pushes in. Keep the background simple and the movement continuous. No cuts, text, or logos.
Check: Reflections and object shape should remain believable throughout the camera move. Use an image reference when the design must start from your actual product.
A portrait with subtle motion
Animate the person in this reference with one natural blink and a small head turn toward the camera. Keep facial features, clothing, and background consistent. Locked camera, steady soft light, no cuts or additional people.
Check: Compare facial features at the start, middle, and end. Reduce the amount of movement if likeness drifts.
An atmospheric scene
Bring the reference scene to life with a gentle movement of leaves and a small drift of steam above the cup. Keep the furniture and architecture still. Use a locked camera with no zoom, cuts, added objects, or text.
Check: Small background details should not flicker or move with the animated elements. Focus on one effect if the scene becomes unstable.

Video generation FAQ
Can I create videos and images with the same plan?
Yes. Image and video generations share your account's credits. Each model and setting has its own rate. Some premium video settings need more than the 225 credits included in the introductory offer.
Compare plans →Is Spicy Mayo a free photo-to-video maker?
You can watch examples and explore the studio without paying. Creating a new video requires an active subscription and enough credits for the selected model and settings. The quoted cost is for the complete clip, not a price to multiply by its duration.
Understand image and video credits →How do first and last frames differ from reference images?
First and last frame mode takes two images to guide the opening and ending of a clip. Reference mode takes up to three images on supported models to guide its subject or style. These are separate modes; select one in the studio before uploading. Neither guarantees an exact match in every frame.
Can the video include audio?
Models that support an audio option show it in the model selector. Availability and credit cost vary by model. Check your selected settings before generating.
Can I choose the duration or edit an existing video?
Clip durations are currently fixed by model and listed in the catalog. Spicy Mayo generates new clips from text and image references; it does not trim, splice, or edit an uploaded video timeline.
What happens if the video fails to generate?
Confirmed failed jobs return their reserved credits. If the connection drops, check the existing request in My creations before submitting another one.
