Most image-to-video models take one starting photo and imagine where it goes next. The 3 models below take two images — a first frame and a last frame — and generate the motion that connects them, which is a more precise brief than plain image-to-video and the only way to guarantee a specific end state.
This is a thin field by catalog standards: only 3 providers have built it (Wan, Black Forest Labs, Google), and each shipped it independently rather than converging on one tag name — the catalog calls it "first_last_frame" on some models and "frame control" on others.
Ranking method
Filtered to models whose feature tags name first-and-last-frame or frame control, sorted by best leaderboard position (unranked models after, cheapest complete job first).
