## What it does

In a garden lit by warm string lights at dusk, one person kneels and opens a small ring box. The other covers their mouth in happy surprise, then nods and laughs.

## From our test

We used a smiling woman in a cream sweater and a man in a navy shirt, and the finished clip shows him kneeling with a ring on a lit garden path while she covers her mouth. Their faces and clothes matched our photos.

## Tips for the best photo

- Use a clear, well-lit photo of each person, looking toward the camera.
- Choose photos where each person is standing, so the kneeling and standing poses feel natural.
- Avoid hats or sunglasses, since faces are what we want to carry over.

## Ideas for using it

- Someone planning a real proposal and wanting a rehearsal clip for friends.
- A couple recreating their story for an anniversary post.
- A friend making a playful engagement card for a wedding shower.

## Down on one knee

Upload a photo of each person and one kneels to propose while the other covers their mouth in surprise. Clear photos of each person work best.

## Both people stay recognizable

Each person keeps their own face, hair and clothes from their photo, so the result looks like them, not like two strangers.

## Two people, one scene

Brings two people from two separate photos together in one shot, even if they have never been photographed side by side.

## How to make it

1. Upload two photos: first person and second person. You can also pick them from your library.
2. Press Generate. There is no prompt to write; the effect is already set up.
3. Your 5 second HD video is ready in a minute or two. Save it to your library or download it.

## FAQ

### Who kneels and who is surprised?

The first photo you upload is the one who kneels, and the second is the one who reacts.

### Will the clothes stay as in my photos?

Yes. Both people keep the faces, hair and clothing from their photos.

### Do I need to write a prompt for Proposal?

No. Proposal 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 Proposal 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.

### Do both people need to be in the same photo?

No. Upload one photo of each person. Clear, front-facing photos where each face is easy to see give the most faithful result.

### 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.
