Text-to-Video with Pika 2.2
Treat your prompt like a stylized animation brief: one scene, strong style, clear motion and effects.
1Subject & style
2Environment (single location)
3Motion (subject/camera/background)
4Effects (glitch, trails, particles, smear frames)
5Framing & duration (5/8 s; aspect ratio)
Stylized [style] animation of [subject] in [environment]. Camera [movement] while [key action] happens over [5/8] seconds, [aspect ratio], with [effects]. No audio.
Keep wording concise and swap style/subject to A/B variants quickly.
Image-to-Video Flow with Pika 2.2 (+ Nano Banana)
Lock visual style with a still, then iterate only on motion and effects.
- Generate reference stills in Nano Banana (pose, keyframe, product illustration).
- Upload one still in Image → Video with Pika 2.2.
- Describe camera motion, secondary movement and effects instead of restyling.
- Use seeds and negative prompts to keep composition stable across iterations.
- Keep brand palettes/layouts while exploring motion variants
- Turn poster art into animated teasers
- Build looping backgrounds for streams or UI sections
Loops & Single-Scene Clips – Pika’s Sweet Spot
Pika 2.2 excels at loops and single-scene beats.
Design clean loops and simple camera paths for best results.
- Make the last frame flow into the first (orbit, bounce, scrolling parallax)
- Keep camera paths simple (pan/orbit/dolly) vs chaotic moves
- One subject, one environment, one main effect per clip
- Use 5s for punchy moments; 8s for a bit of build-up/payoff
- Chain loops in your timeline for longer animations or carousels

Tips & Limitations in Plain English
- Stylized animation (anime, illustration, pixel, comic, toon, stylized 3D)
- High-energy short clips for feeds and overlays
- Silent output keeps files light and edit-friendly
- Seeds + negative prompts help refine motion and clean artifacts
- 5–8 second focus; not for long narratives
- Better at stylized motion than strict photorealism
- Small text/UI may be soft; overlay critical copy in post
- No multi-image sequencing; for multi-beat mini-films, use Sora or Veo and keep Pika for stylized inserts
Pika 2.2 is your stylized, silent workhorse—perfect for fast loops and social-first visuals.
Safety & People / Likeness
- Do not recreate real people, celebrities or politicians.
- No explicit, pornographic or fetish content; no sexualized minors; no graphic gore.
- Avoid hateful or harassing content, or anything misleading or harmful.
- Some prompts or images may be blocked or adjusted by provider and MaxVideoAI safeguards.
- Use fictional characters, stylized worlds and brand-safe content.
These guardrails keep Pika 2.2 usable and compliant inside MaxVideoAI.
