## What it does

Selfie with a Star puts you on the red carpet next to your favorite star: upload your photo and theirs, and the two of you pose for a selfie as the cameras flash.

## From our test

My test used a woman in a denim jacket and a photo of a dark-haired actor in a tuxedo. The video had them cheek to cheek on a red carpet, laughing into her phone while flashes popped behind them.

## Tips for the best photo

- Use clear, front-facing photos of both faces.
- A red carpet or event photo of the star works great.
- Smiling photos make the happiest selfie.

## Ideas for using it

- A dream fan moment to share.
- A birthday surprise for a superfan.
- Fun posts for fan pages.

## You and your favorite star, on the red carpet

Upload your photo and a photo of the star, and the two of you pose for a selfie at a red carpet premiere, laughing as the cameras flash. Clear, front-facing photos of each face 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: your photo and photo of the star. 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 plays right on the page. Save it to your library or download it.
