AI video effects

Pick an effect instead of writing a prompt. Upload a photo, choose from families of presets such as dances, morphs, style looks, and stunts, and get a short clip made for Reels, Shorts, and TikTok. These AI video effects are picked for performers, so a single photo is enough for a dance clip or a transformation post around a release.

How to use an AI video effect

Pick an effect, add one photo, and get a short clip, in three steps.

  1. 1. Pick an effect Browse the gallery, filter it with the Dance, Stage, Transform, Action, Fantasy, Sports, Funny, and Love buttons, or type a name in Search effects. Every card plays a preview; click one to open it.
  2. 2. Add your photo The effect opens with its length and its price in credits. Sign in and add one photo under Your photo, as a JPG, PNG, or WebP of up to 20 MB.
  3. 3. Generate and download Press Generate. The clip appears under Your recent creations; open it to save the MP4.

What you can do

  • Effect families: dance, stage, transformations, action, fantasy, sports, funny, and love
  • No prompt needed, just a photo and an effect
  • Short vertical clips sized for social posts
  • New presets added over time

Ready-made effects instead of prompts

A ready-made effect is a finished recipe: the movement, the camera, and the length are already set, and the only thing you add is a photo. That makes effects the quickest way to get a post out of a single picture: a dance for a song snippet, a stage moment for a release announcement, a transformation for a before-and-after. The Hot filter shows the current picks. An effect generates the picture only, so add your track afterwards in any editor.

What a video effect costs

Each effect has its own price, from 44 credits a clip, shown with the clip length when you open the effect. A new web account starts with 20 credits, which does not cover an effect, so this tool needs credits from a paid plan or a credit pack. Credits are refunded if a generation fails.

What video effects can't do

An effect runs as designed: there is no prompt, no length or aspect ratio setting, and no way to change the choreography. It does not add an effect to footage you already have; it generates a new clip from one photo, at 720p. To copy the moves from your own video, use Motion Transfer. The effects here are picked for a single person, not for pets, products, or group photos, and they do not sync to your song.

Frequently asked questions

How do AI video effects work?

Each effect is a ready-made recipe. Upload a photo, select an effect, and the tool generates a clip of your subject performing it.

What photo should I use?

A clear photo of one person. Full-body shots work best for dance effects.

Can I use my own song?

Effects generate the visuals. Add your track in any editor, or make a full video to your song in Solmi's AI music video generator.

Which AI video effects can I use?

Effects come in families: dance, stage moments, transformations, action, fantasy, sports, funny clips, and love. Filter by family or search by name. The gallery shows the effects available right now, and new ones are added over time.

Do I need a video to use an effect?

No. An effect starts from one photo, not from footage. Upload a picture of a person, pick an effect, and the tool generates the clip. To change a video you already have, use the Video Editor.
