The short answer
AI video effects turn one photo into a short cinematic clip. Choose an effect such as Earth Zoom Out, Money Rain, Turning Metal or the AI hug, and a few minutes later you have a 5-second video with your face in it and a soundtrack made for that effect. Most effects need just one photo; Hug, Memorial Hug, Slow Dance and Zombie need two people. 5 seconds at 720p costs 5 credits, credit packs never expire and a failed render is never charged.
AI video effects with you in the lead
The clips filling everyone's feed, built from a picture of you: a camera rising from your face until the planet fits in the frame, dollar bills pouring over the two of you, chrome armor locking on, your outline breaking into golden dust. Choose one, upload a picture, and the AI renders a short cinematic shot with your face in every frame.
How to use the AI video effects
- Upload a photo. A single picture is enough, just you or the pair of you. For two people you can also add one photo each.
- Choose an effect. Anything from Earth Zoom Out to this season's trends, Raindance and Zombie. Tap a tile to preview it.
- Tap Make the effect. A few minutes later the clip is ready to save and post.
All the AI video effects
- Earth Zoom Out: one continuous pull-back from your face up to the entire planet.
- Hug: two separate photos become one warm, believable embrace.
- Memorial Hug: a quiet embrace with someone who has died, made from one photo of each of you.
- Bring to Life: a faded portrait breathes, blinks and smiles at the camera. Restore it for free before you animate it.
- Slow Dance: you and someone you love swaying under fairy lights, like a first dance.
- Money Rain, Red Carpet, Fireworks: cash on a neon street, a premiere full of flashbulbs, a rooftop sky bursting with color.
- Turning Metal, Disintegration: chrome armor locking on piece by piece, or dissolving into glittering gold dust.
- Levitation, Angel Wings: the dreamy ones, floating off the floor or white wings opening in golden light.
- Clones: copy after copy of you stepping out until the street is full.
- Raindance, Zombie, Gas Station Dance: the trend effects: singing on a rainy pier, the zombie hug and the three-shot forecourt dance.
- A soundtrack for each: a rising score for the zoom-out, soft piano for the hugs. No voices.
Done with effects? Make it a rap
Your photos can star in a rap too: in the Rap video tab the AI writes a song of its own about you and puts you both in the spotlight. For ideas, see the Hotel Lobby AI trend, a rap duo video or a Migos AI style track.
