Midway through, the first scene fades and blends into the second, and the final seconds hold on your end photo as if the camera simply walked there. ## From our test We joined a man in a gray tracksuit in his living room with the same man in a navy suit on a rooftop at sunset. There was a short moment of ghosting in the middle where both outfits overlapped, and the render took about 2 minutes. ## Tips for the best photo - Use the same person at a similar size and position in both photos for the cleanest blend. - Matching framing, like both full body or both waist up, keeps the change from feeling jumpy. - Pick two photos with a clear difference, like casual to formal, so the change is worth watching. ## Ideas for using it - Fitness and style coaches posting a client before and after. - Home renovators showing a room before and after a makeover. - Grooms and brides moving from getting ready to the finished look. ## Seamless morph from one photo to another Upload a start and an end photo and get one seamless transition between them.

Our test went from an indoor living room to an outdoor rooftop and the effect blended between them. ### Why do I see a ghosted overlap in the middle? The effect blends the two scenes, so a brief overlap can appear. Similar poses in both photos keep it short. ### Do I need to write a prompt for Smooth Transition? No. Smooth Transition 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 Smooth Transition 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.
