What Lynx is for
Lynx from ByteDance animates a still into a short video clip. Upload the starting frame, describe the motion, and the studio returns a clip in about 90 seconds (Credits).
Lynx is cheap enough that a generation usually fits the free Knowlify plan's credits. A typical run is about 90 seconds.
Pick Lynx for image to video at Credits and ~90s. Compare it with Bytedance Image, Bytedance Omnihuman on the related cards below if you need a different look, speed, or input type.
