Start Frame
Defines the opening subject, identity, product, styling, location and composition for image-to-video production.

Direct both the opening and closing frame of an AI video.
Start and End Frame production gives the generated shot two explicit visual anchors. The opening image establishes where the motion begins; the optional closing image defines the visual state the production should move toward.

End Frame
Defines an optional closing visual target when the shot should end toward a specific composition instead of an unconstrained final image.
Why separate frame roles matter
Ruwana keeps Start and End as positional roles. They are not treated as an unordered pile of references, which makes the production intent easier to understand and control.
Availability: Start/End Frame production is live in the Platform Video API. Start Frame is required for I2V; End Frame is optional and preserves its explicit closing-frame role.
