About this effect

What happens
in your video.

You lift a steaming pumpkin pie in a room decorated with autumn garlands, pumpkins and candles. String lights switch on one letter at a time to spell "Happy Thanksgiving" on the wall. You glance back at the words, return to the camera and set the pie down, then place a hand over your heart, nod and blow a kiss as maple leaves drift down.

The glowing message gives your thank you a warm reveal before the small, affectionate finish. Share it with family, send it to a Thanksgiving host or use it to brighten a friend's holiday message thread.

The sample features an AI generated fictional adult woman. Upload one clear front facing or half body photo of a consenting adult with their face visible. Facial likeness, glowing lettering, hand movements and scene details can vary in your result.

Good to know

A little clarity
before you create.

Which photo should I use?

Use one clear front facing or half body photo of one consenting adult with their face and upper body visible. The effect creates the pie, autumn decorations and glowing wall message.

What happens in the video?

The person presents a pumpkin pie while string lights spell "Happy Thanksgiving" behind them. They glance back, set the pie down and finish with a hand over their heart, a grateful nod and a blown kiss.

Can I keep my video private?

Yes. Your creation is private by default and appears on the public inspiration wall only if you choose to share it. Keep the optional public sharing box unchecked to keep it private.

What do I receive, and how much does it cost?

A 6 second vertical 720p MP4 with generated audio. Each generation uses 10 credits. Try one photo as a free watermarked preview. Unlock the same HD video with the watermark removed for 10 credits. Likeness, motion and final duration can vary.
