Just want one video?

Every AI video effect

8 effects, each made from your own photos in about three minutes. Pick one to load it into the studio above, or open its page for examples and tips.

Every effect, one studio

Each effect below is a short story the video model plays out with your faces: a hug, a slow dance, a costume change, a 1985 birthday tape. Choose one in the studio, add your photos and press Make. The clip comes back as a 9:16 MP4 with its own sound, ready for TikTok, Reels or Shorts.

What are AI video effects?

AI video effects are short, ready-made scenes that turn a still photo into a moving clip. Instead of writing a prompt, you pick the scene you want, and the video model animates the people from your photos inside it, keeping their faces in every shot.

Most viral formats on TikTok and Reels right now are built this way: the zombie hug, the AI hug, the slow dance, the Halloween transformation. Each one has a fixed shape that viewers recognise in the first second, and the fun is seeing someone you know inside it.

Every effect here is made with Seedance 2.0 from your own uploads. People are adults only, and there are no celebrities, brand characters or copyrighted songs: each effect comes with an original soundtrack and no dialogue.

How do you choose? Think about who is in it and what the clip is for. For a partner, the AI hug and the slow dance are the warm ones, the zombie hug is the trend, and the 80s tape is the funny one. For someone you have lost, Hug a loved one is quiet and private. For October, the Halloween costume is the one people post in a series, one costume a day.

One photo or two?

It depends on the effect. Story effects with two people (the hugs, the slow dance, the zombie hug) take one photo of each person. The Halloween costume takes one photo, and the 80s home video works with one or two.

How to use an AI video effect

  1. Pick an effect

    Choose an effect in the studio, or press Make this one on any card below. The studio switches to that effect's scenes and photo slots.

  2. Add your photos

    Upload one clear, front-facing photo per person: one adult per photo, good light, no sunglasses or heavy filters.

  3. Choose the scene

    Each effect has two or three scenes, from a sunlit meadow to an empty ballroom. Pick one; the length, quality and shape are in Video settings.

  4. Make it and post

    Press Make. The clip is ready in about two to five minutes as an MP4 with sound. Download it and post it with the platform's AI-generated label on.

Why make them here

One generation, no editing

Each effect comes out as one finished, already-cut clip with sound. There is nothing to stitch together in CapCut.

Your faces in every shot

Your photos are the reference for every shot, so the people in the clip still look like the people in your photos.

Built to pass moderation

No weapons, blood, celebrities or brand characters in any prompt, so clips render instead of getting blocked.

Same price for every effect

An 8-second clip is 10 credits whichever effect you pick: $7.99 on its own, $3.99 on your first order, credits never expire.

What people make with them

Couples

The AI hug and the slow dance for an anniversary, the zombie hug for the trend, the 80s tape for a laugh.

Remembering someone

Hug a loved one puts you next to a parent or grandparent you miss, from one old photo of them.

Halloween

A costume change in one photo: vampire, witch or glow-in-the-dark skeleton, with a spooky original beat.

Friends and family

Best friends in the zombie hug, siblings at a 1985 birthday party, a whole group trading clips in the chat.

AI video effects questions

Which AI video effects can I make?

Zombie hug, AI hug, a hug with a loved one who has passed, a slow dance, a Halloween costume change and an 80s VHS home video. The Raindance AI trend is on the homepage.

Are the effects free?

No. Every clip costs us a real render, so there is no free version. An 8-second clip is 10 credits ($7.99), and your first order is 50% off, so your first clip is $3.99.

How long does an effect take?

About two to five minutes for an 8-second clip. You can leave the page; the video is saved under My videos.

Do the clips have sound?

Yes, every effect except Raindance comes with an original soundtrack and no dialogue. You can keep it or add a trending sound in TikTok or Reels.

Can I use photos of children or celebrities?

No. The studio is for adults, and the video model blocks children's photos and public figures.

What if a clip fails?

The credits come back automatically, and you can try another photo or scene.

Which effect should I pick for my partner?

The AI hug or the slow dance for something warm, the zombie hug if you want the trend everyone recognises, and the 80s home video if you want a laugh. They all take one photo of each of you.

Can I use the same photos for several effects?

Yes. Upload the same photos and switch the effect in the studio: each effect is a separate clip at the same price, so a 5-pack covers five different effects.

Which AI model makes the effects?

Seedance 2.0 Mini by default. In Video settings you can switch to Seedance 2.0 Fast, Seedance 2.0 or Seedance 2.5 for more detail, at a higher credit cost.

Pick an effect and make your clip

One or two photos, one tap, about three minutes. Your first clip is $3.99.
