# Melt Morph video effect > One photo melts into the next. The first photo liquefies and drips away to reveal the second. Two photos with similar framing work best. - Page: https://pixeldojo.ai/effects/melt-morph - Category: Transform - Photos needed: 2 (start photo, end photo) - Output: 5 second HD video with ambient sound, same shape as the photo - Example video: https://cdn.pixeldojo.ai/pixeldojo/effects/covers/1792167846518-242016.mp4 - Example source photo: https://cdn.pixeldojo.ai/pixeldojo/effects/posters/1792167847090-224752.png ## What it does Your first photo starts to soften, then its colors slide downward like warm paint and drip off the bottom of the frame. As the drips clear, the second photo settles into place and the clip ends on it. ## From our test We started with a man in a blue shirt in a sunny park and ended on him in a leather jacket on a neon street at night. Thick rainbow paint ran down over his face mid clip and the night scene showed through underneath. ## Tips for the best photo - Use two photos with the subject in the same spot in the frame, so the reveal lines up. - Pick a bold contrast between the pair, like day and night or two outfits, so the change reads clearly. - Keep both photos sharp and well lit, since the second one is where the clip lands. ## Ideas for using it - A before and after reveal for a stylist or makeup artist showing a finished look. - A glow up post comparing an old photo with a recent one. - A product launch teaser that melts from a sketch or old version into the new design. ## One photo melts into the next The first photo liquefies and drips away to reveal the second. Two photos with similar framing work best. ## Starts and ends exactly on your photos The first frame is your start photo and the last frame is your end photo. Everything in between is one smooth, continuous move. ## 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 it 1.

Your 5 second HD video is ready in a minute or two. Save it to your library or download it. ## FAQ ### Which photo does the clip end on? It ends on your second photo, so put the one you want people to remember in the End photo slot. ### Can the two photos be completely different scenes? Yes, ours went from a park to a city street. Similar framing makes the paint drip feel smoother, but different places still work. ### Do I need to write a prompt for Melt Morph? No. Melt Morph is a ready-made effect: upload two photos and press Generate. The directions for the motion, camera and lighting are already built in. ### How long is the Melt Morph 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 the start and end photos be in different places? Yes. The effect moves the camera and morphs the scene between the two, so different outfits, rooms or backgrounds all work. Photos with a similar framing give the smoothest move. ### 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.
