What Heli Pilot does

Your photo dissolves into the cockpit of a helicopter flying over a sunny city skyline. You wear an olive flight suit and a headset, grip the controls, glance out the side window and give a confident nod.

Take the controls of a helicopter

You end up in a helicopter cockpit in a flight suit and headset, flying over a city. Clear face 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.

A full transformation in one shot

The change happens on camera in one continuous take, so viewers see the before and the after in the same clip.

How to make a Heli Pilot 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 plays right on the page. Save it to your library or download it.

Tips for the best photo

  • Use a clear photo of your face, with no sunglasses or hats.
  • Face the camera or turn slightly, with even light.
  • Avoid heavy shadows across your face.

Ideas for using it

  • A pilot-school student makes a first-flight clip for their family.

Heli Pilot FAQ

Does my face stay visible?

Yes. The direction keeps your face uncovered under the headset.

Do the controls look real?

They look like a typical cockpit, with no text or logos added.

Do I need to write a prompt for Heli Pilot?

No. Heli Pilot 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 Heli Pilot video?

Every effect makes a 5 second HD video that matches the shape of your photo, portrait or landscape, ready to post anywhere.

Does the video have sound?
