Champagne Toast AI Video Effect

Champagne Toast turns the viewer into the guest across the table. Within the first second the person raises a glass of sparkling champagne right up toward the lens, as if clinking it with you. The rim flashes a bright glint and bubbles race up through the golden drink, filling the foreground. By the third second they take a sip while holding eye contact over the rim, then lower the glass with a knowing smile that holds to the end. The camera pushes in as the lights sparkle behind them.

In our test runs on MiniMax H3, a woman with a sleek black bob in a black satin wrap dress at a rooftop bar above a night city raised a coupe of champagne right up to the lens by second two, the rim glinting and bubbles racing through the gold, then took a sip while holding eye contact over the rim and lowered the glass with a knowing smile. In a second run, a grey-haired man with stubble in an open black velvet dinner jacket, seated in a red velvet armchair in a lamp-lit library lounge, raised a champagne flute right up to the lens by second two with bubbles rising through it, sipped while holding eye contact as the lights behind him sparkled, and lowered the glass with a knowing smile.

Photos where the person is already holding a glass, chest-up, work best, so the glass does not appear from nowhere. Glasses that are partly hidden or held very low give the toast less to show. Warm, festive backgrounds with lights suit it better than flat daylight. 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 invitations, New Year clips and celebration posts.

The prompt says "raises a glass of sparkling champagne right up toward the lens" and "a knowing smile". Try changing the drink to sparkling juice in the same glass, or end on a laugh instead of a smile.
