## What it does

You stand alone, then bursts of light pop copies of you in beside you one by one until a whole row of you fills the frame. All the copies wave together at the end.

## From our test

We used a man in a red flannel shirt in a bright white room, and light flashes added more and more copies of him until five stood in a line. They all waved at the camera in the last frames.

## Tips for the best photo

- Stand in the middle of the frame with open space on both sides for the copies.
- Use a full-body photo against a simple background so each clone looks distinct.
- Wear a bold, easy-to-spot top, since the copies copy your outfit exactly.

## Ideas for using it

- A band or friend group joking that there are enough of them for a team.
- A manager making a funny we need more of me clip for a team chat.
- A creator posting a repeat-yourself gag on Reels.

## Copies of you pop up all around the frame

Identical copies of you appear one by one beside you and wave at the camera. Full-body photos with open space around you work best.

## Still looks like you

The video opens on your exact photo, so the face, hair, outfit and surroundings carry through the whole effect.

## Movie-style effects without editing software

Effects that used to mean compositing and particle work in an editor, rendered in one pass with lighting that matches your photo.

## How to make it

1. Upload a photo, or pick one from your library.
2. Press Generate. There is no prompt to write; the effect is already set up.
3. Your 5 second HD video is ready in a minute or two. Save it to your library or download it.

## FAQ

### How many copies appear?

Usually about five of you end up in a row, though the exact number can vary by render.

### Can I use a group photo?

A single person works best. Group photos make it harder for the effect to know whom to copy.

### Do I need to write a prompt for Clone Crowd?

No. Clone Crowd 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 Clone Crowd 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.
