Pro tips:
E-commerce software that skips some steps is NOT NEEDED. Iterate the prompts to refine your image/video with the base programs like Nano Banana, then put the image into a video generator as a starting frame.
Some of the video generators (Kling 01) has start frame and end frame. Using your start frame, create an end frame with an image generator, then plug both into Kling 01 to get creative with the transition.
