What Slide Left does
The camera starts on your photo and then glides smoothly to the left on a level track. Things near and far shift at different speeds, so the scene gains real depth while you stay mostly still.
A smooth sideways camera glide
The camera tracks sideways to the left across the scene with natural depth. Photos with foreground and background detail 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 Slide Left 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
- Pick a photo with clear objects near and far, because the depth shows in how they shift.
- Leave some empty space on the left side of the frame for the camera to reveal.
- Sit or stand still in the photo, since the effect adds only a small natural blink.
Ideas for using it
- A restaurant shows off its dining room with a gentle glide across a table.
- A realtor adds subtle motion to a still room photo for a listing.
- A portrait photographer turns a still frame into a short intro clip.
