## What it does

The room dims and the lights flicker. You go still, your eyes glow a pale white and your hair floats upward as though you are underwater.

## From our test

We used a woman with long dark hair in a black top. By the last frames her eyes were glowing pale white and her hair was drifting around her shoulders. We rendered it in about 3 minutes.

## Tips for the best photo

- Use a waist-up photo with your eyes open and looking straight ahead.
- Long hair makes the floating motion easy to read.
- Pick a plain, dim or neutral background.

## Ideas for using it

- A creepy Halloween avatar clip for a spooky-season profile.
- A fun scare for a friend in a group chat.
- A short intro for a ghost-story podcast.

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