## What it does

A sweep of light carries you onto a grand awards stage, dressed in black formal wear. You lift a gold star-topped trophy overhead while spotlights glow and gold confetti falls.

## From our test

We used a man in a white shirt, and a bright burst of light placed him on a big stage in a tuxedo, holding a gold trophy high. The audience and stage lights stayed in the background through the last frames.

## Tips for the best photo

- Use a waist-up photo with your face clear and looking at the camera.
- Wear a light or plain top so the switch to formal wear reads clearly.
- Leave space above your head in the frame, since the trophy goes up there.

## Ideas for using it

- A coworker making a funny employee of the month clip.
- A student celebrating a graduation or school prize with friends.
- A streamer posting a pretend victory speech teaser.

## FAQ

### Does the trophy have any engraving or text?

No. We direct the effect to leave text and logos off the stage and trophy.

### Will my outfit change?

Yes. You end up in elegant black formal wear on the stage.

### Do I need to write a prompt for Award Win?

No. Award Win 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 Award Win 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.
