## What it does

The scene changes in a sweep of light to a sunny outdoor running track. You crouch into a starting stance, push off, and sprint straight toward the camera as it tracks backward with you.

## From our test

We tested with a man in a white tank top and black shorts. He drops into a sprinter's stance on a red track and then bursts toward the camera, with trees and buildings behind him.

## Tips for the best photo

- Use a full-body photo with your legs visible and your feet on the ground.
- Wear athletic or simple clothes, since the effect keeps your outfit.
- Stand in the open without objects around your feet.

## Ideas for using it

- A coach makes a race-day pump-up clip for a team page.
- A runner creates a fun teaser for a charity race post.
- A friend turns a gym selfie into a hype clip for a group chat.
