What this effect sends

This is the full prompt, word for word. Copy it, or open it in the generator and change anything you like.

The lights cut to ultraviolet. Glowing neon patterns light up across the walls around the person and across them, electric pink, green and blue lines lighting up in the dark, and anything white blazes violet. The person leans toward the lens with a grin as the glow pulses. The person stays exactly as they appear in the photo.
Customize in the generator

Pictures that work best

  • White and light colors glow the most under ultraviolet.
  • Plain walls give the neon patterns room to appear.
  • Keep the face visible for the grin at the end.
  • Name other neon colors in the prompt to match a theme.

Models this effect runs on

The same prompt on different models. Pick by look and by price.

How it works

  1. 01

    Add one photo

    Choose the photo to match the example: include both people for a shared gesture, and keep the face and any hands involved clearly visible. Upload your own photo or start with a Blacklight sample.

  2. 02

    Check the price

    Blacklight defaults to a 5-second clip for $0.185. Swap the model or change the length and resolution before you run — the price on the button updates to match, and that's the whole cost of the clip.

  3. 03

    Generate

    Your Blacklight clip renders in the background, lands in History and is never published.

Do the move yourself

Blacklight keeps one version of this shot. To give Blacklight your own motion or ending, write it yourself in Image to Video, starting from the prompt above.

What it does to your photo

The lights cut to ultraviolet. Glowing neon patterns appear across the walls around the person and across them, with electric pink, green and blue lines lighting up in the dark. Anything white blazes violet. The person leans toward the lens with a grin as the glow pulses, giving the clip a party-night feel.

In our test runs on MiniMax H3, a young man with bleached blond hair in a black shirt jacket and white T-shirt in a crowded nightclub smiled as the lights cut to ultraviolet at second one, glowing neon lines lit up across his jacket and the walls in pink, green and blue by second three, his white tee blazing violet, and he leaned toward the lens with a grin. In a second run, a young woman with short bleached curls and hoop earrings in a lilac satin bomber and white tee at a club bar saw the lights cut out at second one, had glowing blue, green and pink neon lines light up across her jacket by second two and across the walls behind her by second three, and leaned into the lens grinning under the violet glow.

Works best on a photo with plenty of white or light colors, since whites glow strongest under ultraviolet, and with walls or surfaces behind the person that can carry neon patterns. Mostly dark photos show fewer glowing details. The neon patterns are invented by the model, so they will not match any real markings. The effect leaves the person exactly as they are in your photo and only adds the motion, light and atmosphere.

It runs on MiniMax H3 for five seconds by default, and H3 itself goes up to 15 seconds and 2K if you want more. Studio also lets you move the same prompt to another model before you generate, such as Seedance 2.0 or Wan 3.0, and the price on the Generate button updates with every change. Our samples were all made on MiniMax H3, so other models will read the prompt in their own way.

Good for party, club and festival content, and for bright, playful profile clips.

Change "electric pink, green and blue lines" to "electric orange and yellow lines" for a warmer neon, or change "leans toward the lens with a grin" to "leans toward the lens with a calm look" for a different mood.
