## What it does

Your subject starts with both feet on the ground, then gathers up and lifts off. Arms go up as they rise higher and higher, and by the end they hang above a bright sea of clouds with the sky wide open around them.

## From our test

We tested a woman in a red jacket standing on a grassy hilltop, and by the fourth frame she was hovering with arms raised over a layer of white clouds. Our first version did not get her airborne the way we wanted, so we rewrote the direction to make the launch and climb clear, and the final render took about 4 minutes.

## Tips for the best photo

- Outdoor photos with open sky behind the subject give the climb a natural place to go.
- Frame the whole body from head to feet so the lift off reads clearly.
- Bright, colorful clothing stands out better against the clouds at the end.

## Ideas for using it

- Hikers turning a summit photo into a clip that feels like the top of the world.
- Graduates posting a sky high celebration at the end of the school year.
- Pet owners sending their dog on a flight for a funny weekend post.

## FAQ

### Can my dog fly too?

Yes. The effect works with pets as well as people, as long as the whole animal is visible in the photo.

### Does the scene stay where the photo was taken?

It starts there. As the subject climbs, the view opens up into clouds, so the ending is in the sky rather than at the original spot.

### Do I need to write a prompt for AI Flying?

No. AI Flying is a ready-made effect: upload a photo and press Generate. The directions for the motion, camera and lighting are already built in.

### How long is the AI Flying video, and how long does it take?

Every effect makes a 5 second HD video that matches the shape of your photo, portrait or landscape. Most are ready in one to three minutes, and you can leave the page while it renders.

### Does the video have sound?

Yes. Each clip comes with matching ambient sound effects. It does not add music, so you can lay your own track over it in any editor.

### Can I use a photo of someone else?

Only photos of adults, of yourself or of people who agreed to it. Every upload goes through the same safety checks as the rest of PixelDojo.
