In this quick demo, we integrated Veo 3 into **CreativeEditor SDK (CE.SDK)** enabling users to **animate between two still images** in just a few clicks. ### From Still Images to Motion In our demo, we start with two images of the same person, one wearing a hat, the other without. Inside the editor, users simply select both images, click the **AI context button**, and choose **“Animate between images.”** The images are loaded into a side panel where users can optionally add a **text prompt** to guide the transition. Once generated, the resulting short video is placed directly on the canvas ready for editing, compositing, or export. What’s particularly impressive is the **generation speed**. In this example, Veo 3.1 produced a smooth **8-second transition in just 9 seconds** a major improvement compared to earlier versions. This speed makes iterative creative workflows feel fluid and responsive, bridging the gap between prompt-driven generation and real-time editing. ### Try It Out ![Try out Veo 3.1's magic in CE.SDK.](https://blog.img.ly/2025/10/veo-fal-ai-video-editor-sdk-ce_sdk-imgly.png) You can check out the implementation on [GitHub](https://github.com/imgly/plugins/blob/main/examples/ai/src/pages/Veo31Example.tsx) and give Veo 3.1 a spin inside your CE.SDK instance (sign up for a [free trial](https://img.ly/docs/cesdk/) if you haven't already). ### A Glimpse of AI-Native Editing This simple feature highlights how easy it is to make your editor **AI-native,** combining traditional editing tools with generative intelligence. **Practical use cases include:** - **E-commerce** Show products “in action” or animate between styles and configurations. - **Marketing** Create quick product reveal animations from static assets. - **Content creation** Generate short motion clips or “tween” between creative scenes. And if users want longer clips, they can simply **add another 8-second track** and **transition seamlessly** into the next. ### The Future of Creative Workflows With Veo 3 integrated, CE.SDK becomes a powerful playground for AI-driven creativity from image-to-video to scene interpolation and contextual animation. We already empowered over 600 innovative startups, government entities, and Fortune 500 companies to add powerful design, video, and photo editing workflows to their products. [Get in touch](https://img.ly/forms/contact-sales.md), to see how we can do the same for you. --- ## More Resources - **[IMG.LY Website](https://img.ly/index.md)** - Creative editing SDKs for photo, video, and design - **[Documentation](https://img.ly/docs/cesdk/)** - CE.SDK developer documentation - **[Contact Sales](https://img.ly/forms/contact-sales.md)** - Get a custom quote.
