# Generate Short-Form Campaign Videos in Rainfrog Studio

> Use the Video Generator node to produce short-form campaign clips — pick a model, wire the inputs it needs, and generate motion from your workflow.

Rainfrog's **Video Generator** produces short-form campaign clips from the same project you use for stills. Add the node, choose a video model, connect the inputs that model expects, and generate. If you already have a strong image workflow, you are most of the way to a matching motion piece.

## How video generation works

Video uses a dedicated **Video Generator** node — it is not a mode on the Image Generator. Select a model on the node. The input handles update to match that model. Connect images, frames, text, or video references as shown, then click **Generate**. Credit cost and duration options appear on the node before you run.

Video generation is available on paid plans and typically costs more credits than a still.

## Video models

| Model                   | Typical inputs                                                    |
| ----------------------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Kling 2.6**           | **Image**, optional **End image**                                 |
| **Kling 3.0** (default) | **First Frame**, optional **Last Frame**, optional **References** |
| **Seedance 2.0**        | **Text**, **Image assets**, optional **Video assets**             |

Use Image nodes, Video nodes, Full Body outputs, or Image Generator results as sources for those handles when the connection types match.

## Adding a Video Generator

<Steps>
  <Step title="Open your project">
    Work in a project that already has strong still assets, or start fresh.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Add the Video Generator">
    From the floating dock, add a **Video Generator** node.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Choose a model">
    Pick Kling 2.6, Kling 3.0, or Seedance 2.0. Confirm the input handles that appear.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Connect inputs">
    Wire the frames, references, text, or media the model asks for. Keep subject and style consistent with your still campaign when you want matching motion.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Generate">
    Check duration and credit cost on the node, then click **Generate**. Keep working on the canvas while the job runs in the background.
  </Step>
</Steps>

## Use cases

* **Reels, TikTok, and Stories** — short motion that matches your brand look
* **Product teasers** — a still hero frame animated into a short clip
* **Lookbook motion** — subtle movement on editorial fashion frames
* **Paid social** — variants for ads without rebuilding the whole campaign

## Tips for better video output

* Start from a still you already like, then animate that frame
* Prefer environments with clear spatial structure (studio, room, defined outdoor) over highly abstract scenes
* Use a character pose that reads clearly as a starting frame
* Keep product and character references consistent with your image workflow

<Tip>
  Generate a strong Image Generator result first, then connect that image into the Video Generator as the starting frame for Kling models.
