What this action does

Leaping and pouncing at a drifting soap bubble.. 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

One animal, filling a good part of the frame, with the whole face visible and some light in the eyes. The two moving actions here were written for a dog specifically, and want the body in frame from nose to tail with floor underneath. Fur is the edge the model works from, so a pet photographed against a similar colour, a black dog on a dark rug, is the usual reason an outline goes soft.

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 Bubble Chase Pounce?
Bubble Chase Pounce 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 Bubble Chase Pounce?
No. Bubble Chase Pounce 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.

The right action for the photo beats the popular one

Every movement and every style in the library is written up the same way, so you can check whether the picture in your camera roll actually suits it before you spend a credit.
