What Horizon Blast does
You stand on a high rocky ridge over a wide empty desert as the sky begins to glow. A huge cloud rises far off on the horizon, a warm wind sweeps past, and you shield your eyes to watch in awe, safe and unhurt.
A colossal blast lights up the far horizon
You stand on a ridge as a huge glowing cloud rises far off on the horizon and a warm wind sweeps past you. Waist-up 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.
Movie-style effects without editing software
Effects that used to mean compositing and particle work in an editor, rendered in one pass with lighting that matches your photo.
How to make a Horizon Blast video
- Upload a photo, or pick one from your library.
- Press Generate. There is no prompt to write; the effect is already set up.
- 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 waist-up photo with your face partly turned if you like. The effect has you looking toward the horizon.
- Wear a jacket or loose top. Wind catches it nicely.
- Choose a photo taken in daylight so the warm glow blends with your skin tones.
Ideas for using it
- A dramatic opening shot for a short film or a trailer.
- A cinematic profile clip for a hiking or travel creator.
- A funny reply to a friend who says 'did you see that?'.
