Does the subject move at all?

It should not. The prompt asks for everything to hold still while only the camera moves. Hair or fabric can drift slightly now and then; run it again if it bothers you.

What happens to the side the photo does not show?

The model invents it from what is visible, so the back of a jacket or the far side of a car can differ from the real thing.

Why did the camera barely turn?

Still subjects with little depth around them get a smaller arc, as our parked car did. A photo with open space and something frozen in the air gives the strongest result.

Will it change what's in my photo?

No. The effect only adds motion, light and atmosphere; everyone in the photo stays exactly as they appear in it. The default model doesn't filter photos. Some models you can switch to in Studio apply their own content filters and may turn a photo down.

Can the camera go further around?

Customize the prompt and ask for a half circle. The further it turns, the more the model has to invent and the less stable the result tends to be.

Per run, in US dollars, with the price shown on the Generate button for whichever model you pick. Failed runs are free of charge.

Will this effect change how the person in my photo looks?

Your photo anchors the subject; the effect adds the motion and look described in its prompt. Check the face, hands and clothing in the result. If a gesture distorts them, try a clearer crop or a simpler movement.

Can I upload a photo of someone else?

Only one you have the right to use, and never to make intimate content of a real person without their documented consent. The content policy has the full rule.

How long is the Bullet Time clip, and can it be longer?

Bullet Time defaults to a 5-second clip. Before you run it in Studio, you can choose a longer length — the maximum depends on the model you pick — and the price on the button updates to match. You can also continue on the canvas from the clip's last frame.

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.

Time freezes: dust, droplets and loose strands of hair or fabric hang motionless in the air while the camera arcs smoothly about a third of the way around the main subject, keeping it centered. The background slides past with strong parallax.

Pictures that work best

Action photos are ideal: a jump, a hair flip, a splash or a spin caught mid-air.
Leave space around the subject so the camera has room to travel.
Backlight, window light or haze makes the frozen dust and droplets visible.
Crowds are hard to freeze convincingly. One subject works best.

How it works

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 Bullet Time sample.
02
Check the price
Bullet Time defaults to a 5-second clip for $0.484. 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.
03
Generate
Your Bullet Time clip renders in the background, lands in History and is never published.

Do the move yourself

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

What it does to your photo

Bullet Time freezes a single instant and lets the camera move through it. Dust, droplets and loose fabric hang in the air while the camera arcs about a third of the way around your subject, and the background slides past with strong parallax. It works best on a photo that already caught something in motion.

Our favorite test was a dancer photographed mid-leap in a dim concrete studio. He stayed suspended in the air for the whole clip while the camera swung around him, the shaft of window light and the chalk dust hanging still, until we were looking at him from the side. On a cream convertible parked on a desert highway the move was gentler, closer to a quarter turn, with the red rock mesas shifting behind the car.

It runs on Seedance 2.0 Fast, the model that travelled furthest around the subject in our orbit tests; a smaller turn simply reads as a drifting camera.

The camera sees sides of your subject that the photo does not show, and the model has to invent them. We keep the arc to about a third of a circle to limit how much it has to imagine. One subject in open space comes out cleanest.
