What Drone Reveal does

The shot begins close behind you as you take in the view. The camera then lifts and glides forward over your shoulder, and the landscape opens up until you are a small figure standing at the edge of a wide valley with peaks on every side.

Rise up for an epic aerial reveal

The camera rises behind your subject like a drone to reveal the landscape around them. Outdoor photos with a view 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.

A cinematic camera move from a still photo

The kind of shot that normally takes a drone, a gimbal or a crane, made from one photo. Great as an intro, a reveal or a transition between scenes.

How to make a Drone Reveal video

  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.

Tips for the best photo

  • Use a photo taken from behind or the side while you face a view, so the rise feels natural.
  • Outdoor photos with open scenery, like mountains, coastlines or fields, give the reveal something to show.
  • Bright clothing helps you stay easy to spot as you get smaller in the frame.

Ideas for using it

  • A hiker posting a summit moment as a trip recap on Instagram.
  • A travel agency turning a customer photo into a destination teaser.
  • An outdoor club opening its season recap video.

Drone Reveal FAQ

Does my face need to be visible?

No. This effect works well with a photo from behind, since the camera starts at your back and rises over you.

What if my photo was taken indoors?

The effect is built for outdoor views, so an indoor photo has little landscape to reveal. Use a scenic outdoor shot for this one.

Do I need to write a prompt for Drone Reveal?

No. Drone Reveal 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 Drone Reveal 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.
