Graduation Day FAQ
Does it add a school name?
No, there is no text, crest or logo on the gown or cap.
Do I need to already be wearing a gown?
No, the effect adds the cap and gown, so a normal shirt is fine.
Do I need to write a prompt for Graduation Day?
No. Graduation Day 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 Graduation Day 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.
