At all those web sites for using AI to create images or videos, one term appears often: "LoRa" = Low-Rank Adaptation. It turns out that these are extensions of the original model which add to the original model without that model having to be re-trained. Hereby a lot of computing time is saved.
Here is the explanation of LoRa from one of its inventors at Microsoft, Edward Hu:
DeeVid is a site which offers image-2-video, text-to-video, video-2-video, and lip-sync. Also AI images can be created.
Here is a SFW video created from a starting and an end image:
NSFW content is detected and is not being processed.
But SFW content is fine, like this:
One of the results that comes up in a Google search for "img2vid AI nsfw" is SEAART.AI.

While it looks initially promising, testing it initially was quite a disappointment.
First, one needs to pay something to get videos. There are credits and stamina. I have not yet been able to understand the difference between the two, but I figured that one can buy the credits, and the stamina are some kind of reward. For example, one gets 130 stamina credited every day, but then they disappear.
One can also get a subscriptions to become an SVIP, which includes credits and stamina and provides additional benefits.
Since I needed some credit, I purchased for about €20 a set:
Gave me 17600 credits. Creating a video from an image costs 400 credits.
Which means that this would last for 44 videos.
Which also means one video costs about 0.45 € , which is a reasonable price.
If I wanted to get SVIP, I had these choices:
My try: I wanted to upload a NSFW image, then create a video from it. This was the picture of a partially dressed doll, with bear breasts but panties under a skirt.
Uploading a 2nd (end) video requires to be an SVIP, so I only could upload a start image.
After the upload was done, the image was incorrectly rotated 90 deg. This has not happened with any other AI app site, but I had this problem also with PizApp. Some issue in how my phone encodes the with and height. But Windows apps usually handle this well.
OK, then I tried to generate, adding a prompt about removing panties.
Gave no warning, but then the result was blurred - it was apparently tagged as adult / NSFW, and I was not supposed to see this. In my setting for SeaArt I enabled mature imagery, but that did not seem to have any consequence...
I gave it another try - it still loaded the source image 90 deg rotated horizontally. This is a stupid bug which will prevent me using Searart.ai .
There are no immediate and direct links to terms of service or to the content policy... and there is no warning that when uploading a pic must not be more than PG-13.
The result this time was not NSFW, so I could see it. Looks good, except that it is 90 deg rotated because also the upload was in the wrong orientation.
The quality of the motion is not bad.
Overall this looks like a very promising site, with many options. But it currently has a few problems:
On the site CIVITAI I did experiment a bit with VIDU Q1. This tool allows to provide a start and and an end image, then it interpolates between these images and creates a video.
I had taken the following series of 9 photographs:
