What Hyperlapse does
The subject stands perfectly still on a city sidewalk while everything around them speeds up. People hurry past, the street opens out behind them and the light changes over the clip, so they become the one calm point in a busy scene.
The world rushes by, you stay still
Time speeds up around your subject: clouds race, crowds blur past and light changes while they stay perfectly still. Outdoor 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 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 Hyperlapse 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 an outdoor photo in a busy place like a city street or station entrance.
- Stand still with a neutral pose, since the subject is meant to stay frozen.
- Include sky and buildings in the frame so the changing light shows.
Ideas for using it
- A photographer making a moody opener for a city portrait series.
- A musician posting a teaser for a song about feeling stuck in the rush.
- A travel creator marking the end of a busy day in a new city.

Hyperlapse FAQ
Will I move in the video?
No. The subject is meant to stay still while the people and light around them change.
Does it work in a quiet place?
It shines where there are people and traffic to speed up, like a busy street or station.
Do I need to write a prompt for Hyperlapse?

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