A Finger Heart, Shared With One Guest

A finger heart is a small, specific gesture: two fingers, one hand, held at the chest. It is also the easiest thing in the world to get wrong in generated footage. This template keeps it to exactly two hands and one figure.

Group gestures are where generated celebration footage usually falls apart. Three people, four hands and one figure that was never counted — the result reads as a crowd doing something approximate rather than a group doing one thing together.

This template keeps the arithmetic tight. You upload one front-facing photo, the effect generates exactly one God of Wealth beside the subject, and every visible person makes their own finger heart at their own chest. You get a 4-second 720p video in the aspect ratio of your source photo, for 60 credits per run.

Known limits
Exactly one God of Wealth is generated, no matter how many people are in the photo. In a multi-person photo every visible person makes their own finger heart, which is why the template asks for a precise subject count rather than a group. Hands holding anything — a phone, a cup, a bag strap — break the gesture, and both figures are kept centred, so a subject placed hard against the frame edge leaves the second figure nowhere to stand.

What it does

Built for this specific job, not a generic editor.

Exactly one guest

No matter how many people are in the photo, the effect generates a single God of Wealth. The template enforces this explicitly, because a second figure appearing uninvited is the most common failure in group celebration effects.

One gesture per person

Every visible person makes their own finger heart at their own chest. The template reads the subject count from the photo rather than assuming a group, which is why it asks for a precise count instead of a vague crowd.

Front-facing frames only, really

The gesture is a chest-level hand shape, so a subject turned away from the camera loses it entirely. The template asks for front-facing photos and means it, rather than listing it as a preference.

Real output specs

Four seconds at 720p, aspect ratio inherited from your source photo, 60 credits per run, shown before you confirm. The free tier includes 30 credits every month.

How it works

Four steps, no timeline to learn.

  1. Pick a front-facing photo

    Choose a frame where the subject faces the camera with empty hands. The gesture happens at chest height, so anything already held there will block it completely.

  2. Leave room beside the subject

    The figure stands next to the subject, so the frame needs space on one side. A subject cropped hard against the edge leaves the guest nowhere to stand.

  3. Count the people before you run it

    Every visible person gets a gesture. One or two people produce a clean shared beat; a larger group produces a row of hearts that reads as a line-up rather than a moment.

  4. Re-run with more side room

    If the figure appears cramped or the gesture lands off-centre, the framing was too tight. A second attempt with a wider photo usually fixes both. Each run costs 60 credits.

Where people use it

The jobs this effect actually gets used for.

A New Year greeting

A shared finger heart is legible in any language and needs no caption, which makes the clip useful for sending to people you do not share a first language with.

A duo post

Two people in one photo, one generated guest, one shared gesture — a clean format for a paired post that does not need a second photographer.

A sticker or reaction clip

Four seconds at 720p crops cleanly into a square or vertical sticker for a story or a chat app.

Testing a group gesture

Why one guest and one gesture

The arithmetic of a shared moment is the whole effect.

A finger heart is not a pose; it is a count. Two fingers, one hand, one chest, repeated once per person. When any of those numbers drifts — an extra figure, a hand that never arrives, a person without a gesture — the clip stops reading as a shared moment.

Holding the count fixed is what makes the effect usable. One guest, one gesture per visible person, and a subject count read from the photo rather than assumed.

The limits are stated on this page rather than hidden: front-facing photos, empty hands, room beside the subject, and a single generated guest no matter how large the group.

Frequently asked questions

Can I use a photo with several people?

Yes. The template accepts one person or several, and every visible person makes their own finger heart. One or two people produce the cleanest result; larger groups read as a line-up.

How many God of Wealth figures appear?

Exactly one, regardless of how many people are in the photo. The template enforces this explicitly, because an uninvited second figure is the most common failure in group celebration effects.

Can I write a prompt to change the scene?

The figure and the gesture are fixed by the template. What you control is the source photo: framing, lighting, subject count and whether the hands are empty.

What kind of photo works worst?

Subjects turned away from the camera, hands already holding something at chest height, and tight crops with no room beside the subject for the guest to stand.

Can I use the clip commercially?

Yes. Output is yours to publish, including in paid posts, on every plan including the free tier. The only restriction is the source photo: use an image you own or have permission to use.
