The Only One That Takes Literally Anything

Input restrictions are the main reason seasonal effects go unused. You have the photo you have — a group, a dog, something odd — and the template wants a single person standing in a plain frame.

This one does not care. Any subject is accepted: a person, a pet, a group, or an object. It comes back as a 4-second 720p clip where the subject is lifted toward a craft, in your source aspect ratio, for 40 credits. There is no prompt to write.

Best results with

The subject framed full-body or half-body, with space above for the craft to lift into

Known limits

No text prompt, and background music is off unless the API request turns it on. In a small share of runs the craft only travels a short distance instead of leaving the frame. With several subjects in one photo, one of them can disappear mid-lift or be rebuilt as a Martian instead of being taken. The subject can also come back deformed after being pulled aboard.

What it does

Built for this specific job, not a generic editor.

How it works

Four steps, no timeline to learn.

1. Leave space above the subject

   The lift travels upward, so a frame with headroom gives it somewhere to go. A subject already near the top of the frame has almost no distance to travel.

2. Frame full-body or half-body

   The whole subject should be visible, framed full-body or half-body. Something cropped at the edges gives the lift less to carry.

3. Expect quirks with several subjects

   With more than one subject in the photo, a small share of runs drop one of them mid-lift or rebuild it as a Martian instead of taking it. A single subject is the more predictable input.

4. Check how far the craft travels

   In a small share of runs the craft only moves a short distance instead of leaving the frame. The lift still reads, but the ending is weaker than intended.

The jobs this effect actually gets used for.

Why an unrestricted input is the real feature

The best effect is the one that accepts the photo you already have.

Every other template in this set asks for something specific: one person, standing, outdoors, facing the camera, empty hands. Each restriction is there for a reason, and each one also means most photos people actually have on their phone are not eligible.

This template trades some precision for reach. Any subject is accepted — person, pet, group or object — and the cost of that openness is stated here rather than hidden: with several subjects, one can disappear mid-lift or be rebuilt as a Martian, and in a small share of runs the craft only travels a short distance instead of leaving the frame. The subject can also come back deformed after being pulled aboard.

The rest is simple: no prompt, four seconds at 720p, music off unless requested. Those are the limits, and they are what make 40 credits a predictable spend.
