What this action does
A quiet morning stretch into the pink light. 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
Both arms stretch overhead and the heels lift, so the frame needs headroom and the feet need to be in it. Full length, standing, front on, arms down at the sides to begin with. The camera is locked at chest height and does not move, so an original taken at eye level fits the shot as it stands. Soft pink light is added, making a dawn or dusk photograph the smoothest join. A seated picture is the wrong starting point, since the movement is a person rising onto their toes.
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 Sunrise Balcony Stretch?
- Sunrise Balcony Stretch 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 Sunrise Balcony Stretch?
- No. Sunrise Balcony Stretch 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.
