What this action does
a slow walk out of a cold, fog-bound alley at night. You give the app a single photograph and it generates a short clip of that movement, roughly 5 seconds long. Nothing is filmed and nothing is recovered: the motion is produced from the one frame you supply.
What photo works best
The only motion action on this shelf, and it asks for a whole body. Full length, standing, feet visible, front on or slightly angled, with room ahead for the walk to move into. A coat or a jacket gives the fog a silhouette worth tracking. Even, cool light suits the scene and stops the face disappearing as the mist arrives. A waist up crop is the common mistake here, since the legs are doing the walking the clip is named for.
What to expect
One photograph goes in and a short clip comes out. It is generated rather than filmed, so run it twice if the first attempt puts a hand somewhere strange; the second version will not be identical.
If the result is not convincing, the fix is almost always the photograph rather than the settings. Reshoot it wider, get more light on the face, and move the arms clear of the body. The rest of what decides the result applies to every action here, and the limits apply to this one too.
Common questions
- What kind of photo works best for Foglight Walk?
- Foglight Walk builds about 5 seconds of movement out of your photograph, and the one frame you choose is the entire input. Whatever has to appear in the result has to be in the shot, so frame wide enough to take in everything the movement touches, keep the subject sharp and clearly separated from what is behind them, and get even light onto the face and the hands.
- How long is the video?
- About 5 seconds. That is what the default video model in the app's catalogue is configured to produce, and it is the same for every motion action in the library.
- Do I need a subscription to use Foglight Walk?
- No. Foglight Walk is not marked as a subscription only action in the app's catalogue. AI Video is free to download, and generating a result uses credits, which are bought as a pack or come with a subscription.
