Recently, a major AI application has set off a storm in the mobile phone industry - Google's Veo 2 model has surprisingly been the first to land on Chinese brand mobile phones - the Honor 400 series, experiencing this "black technology" ahead of Pixel and Gemini users! It has aroused strong attention from users and developers at home and abroad.
This means that you only need one picture and the AI can "automatically direct" a short video for you. No editing skills are required, not even the need to input text prompts. This wave of operations can be said to be a true "fool-style creation".
What is image-generated video? What new breakthroughs does Google Veo 2 bring?
Image-to-Video, as the name suggests, is to convert a static image into a dynamic video . The technical support behind this is the Veo 2 model launched by Google DeepMind , which is one of the most powerful multimodal video generation AIs currently available.
Key highlights include:
5-second high-quality video automatically generated
Supports both horizontal and vertical screen formats
No complicated operation required, average generation time is 1-2 minutes
Auto - complete motion logic based on image understanding (no text prompts required)
This means that for a photo, whether it is a person, landscape or illustration, AI can "imaginate" a reasonable dynamic scene and achieve a natural transformation from "static" to "dynamic".
World premiere: exclusive experience of Honor 400 series mobile phones
Compared with Google's own Pixel devices, Honor has become the first launch platform for this AI capability, which can be described as a win-win cooperation in "technology going overseas".
Compatible models: Honor 400 / Honor 400 Pro
Launch time: May 22, 2025
AI image video entry: Built-in Honor Gallery App
This AI video generation function is not a separate app, but is deeply integrated into the Honor native album application. You can try it by opening the picture.
Practical tutorial: How to generate AI videos with one click using Honor mobile phone?
Step 1: Open the Gallery app
First, make sure you have purchased an Honor 400 or Honor 400 Pro phone and have stored your images in the gallery app on your phone. Whether it's a selfie, a landscape, or a photo of a pet, as long as it's a static image you want to turn into a video, you can convert it.
Step 2: Select the image you want to convert
Once you are in the Gallery app, browse and select the pictures you want to turn into a video. Simply tap on the picture to enter the viewing interface.
Step 3: Click Generate Video
On the picture viewing interface, you will see a new "Generate Video" button (this feature is only visible on Honor 400 series phones). Click this button and AI will automatically start processing the picture and generate a 5-second short video.
Step 4: Wait for AI to generate
AI generates a 5-second video based on your static image, combined with the powerful capabilities of the Google Veo 2 model. Each generation takes about 1 to 2 minutes, depending on the complexity of the image and the network speed.
Step 5: Save and share
After the video is generated, you can save it to the album, or share it directly on social platforms to share with friends. It is worth noting that the video format output by Honor's image to video function is MP4, so you can easily play or edit it on different devices and platforms.
Additional Notes:
There are 10 free generation quotas per day
The image content does not require text prompts, AI will automatically infer based on the visual content
How can content creators use this feature to create hit content?
Although this function is simple, it is very suitable for content creation, especially short videos, self-media and social platforms. Here are some practical strategies:
"Blind Box Generation" Serialized Gameplay
Try to generate videos with different photos every day to record the "brain hole output" of AI
For example, we could open a column like "What did AI draw today?" or "One picture, one piece"
Use "unpredictability" to trigger comments, reposts, and curiosity
Image + video comparison guides interaction
Publish "original image + AI video" comparison content
Guide fans to comment on "Which one feels better?" and "What do you want it to depict?"
Suitable for product promotion scenarios (beauty and fashion, landscape check-in)
Combine scripts to create short films
Although you can't use text commands, you can create a "sense of plot" by selecting pictures
For example: Use blurred human figures to generate "AI memory playback" videos to create suspense or emotional topics
Add dubbing and subtitles for secondary creation before uploading, which has more potential for secondary creation
Cross -platform remix and re-creation
Mix AI videos into Vlog, unboxing, and explanation content as clips
Labeling such as "Fully AI-generated paragraph" arouses audience curiosity
Challenge topics/initiate UGC activities
Host a #OnePictureGenerationChallenge and invite fans to upload photos to play together
Suitable for KOLs and bloggers to drive topic popularity and trigger secondary innovation chains
Example tutorial: Generate AI short videos from travel photos
Take or upload a landscape photo (such as Erhai Lake in Dali, Eiffel Tower in Paris)
Click Generate Video in the gallery
Share to TikTok/Instagram, add tags such as:
#AIVideo#Honor400 #ImageVideo
#One picture becomes a short film#AI daily magic
Compare AI videos with original images and allow viewers to participate in commentary and interaction
Tip: The video content is uncontrollable (no instructions can be added), but because of this , each generation is uncertain - it is more suitable for "blind box" type social content !
