Convert photo to video using Quick actions
Learn how to create dynamic AI-generated videos from photos.
Transform a photo into a dynamic video with Animate in Quick actions. Using generative AI powered by the Google Veo 3.1 Lite model, Lightroom on mobile sends your selected image to the video generation service, where motion and visual effects are applied based on your selected settings. Once the video is generated, it is automatically returned to Lightroom, ready for review, editing, share, and export.
Select Actions > Animate .
In the Animate photo panel, adjust the output settings.
Select Generate video.
Wait for Lightroom to generate the video and automatically import it into your library.
Select the Zoom in icon to view your generated video full screen.
Select the Share button to share the generated video or export it to your device.
Select the Edit video button to further enhance the video with Lightroom editing tools, such as applying presets, trimming the video, and adjusting light and color.
This option is available only with a Lightroom subscription, otherwise, select Done.

Video generation uses generative credits. Credit consumption varies by duration: 40 credits for 4 seconds and 60 credits for 6 seconds, both available to all users. With a paid Lightroom plan, you can also create 8-second videos for 80 credits. Free users get 2 complimentary video generations to start. After that, creating a video uses generative credits. If you cancel video generation before it completes, the credits used for the generation request are still deducted and are not refunded.
