What Dragon Ride does
You appear on the back of a huge green dragon above snowy peaks and clouds. Your hair and clothes whip in the wind, and the camera slowly pulls back to show the whole dragon beating its wings.
Soar the skies on a dragon
Your subject rides a great dragon over mountains and clouds. Waist-up or full-body photos 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.
Made for short-form video
Built for the clips people share on Reels, TikTok and Shorts: one clear moment in five seconds, framed to stop the scroll.
How to make a Dragon Ride video

Tips for the best photo
- Choose a photo with your face turned toward the camera so the rider reads clearly.
