Choose an appetising hero photo
Use a sharp image with the whole dish in frame, natural colour and a clean background. Keep sauces, garnishes and texture visible; those details are what make the generated motion believable.
Food photography sells the first glance; motion sells the appetite. DomoAI can add a slow push, rising steam or a turn on the plate to a dish photo, giving restaurants and food creators a short clip that feels freshly shot.

Every DomoAI workflow starts from a prompt and an optional reference file. Nothing has to be rebuilt by hand.

Describe the surface, light and movement: gentle steam, a slow turn, a hand placing a plate or a camera push toward the main ingredient. Match the mood to the venue rather than adding every effect at once.
Give each signature dish the same visual treatment so the menu feels cohesive. Export a short hero loop for social, a square version for delivery listings and stills for the menu page.
DomoAI workflows differ by the material you already have. Pick the one that matches it.
| Workflow | What you provide | Good for |
|---|---|---|
| Dish photo to video | One plated-dish photo | Menu heroes and daily specials |
| Commercial video | A brand brief and product images | Restaurant campaigns and launch spots |
| Photo slideshow | Several dishes or venue photos | A menu tour or event recap |
| Product ad video | Packaged food or a retail product | Grocery listings and packaged-goods ads |
Answers about inputs, limits, resolution, and how credits are used.
Yes. Keep the effect subtle and local to the hot food. A small amount of steam plus a slow camera move usually looks more natural than a dense cloud covering the plate.
Treat the source photo as the reference and review the generated clip for ingredient changes. For menus and delivery, the food shown should match what a customer receives.
A few seconds is enough for a single dish. Menu tours can combine several short shots with a title card; social ads often work best around 10 to 15 seconds.
Check each platform's accepted formats and food-advertising rules. Export the required aspect ratio, keep the menu price and description accurate, and refresh seasonal items when they change.
