Does the hand gesture always read clearly?

In both of our test runs the beckoning motion was clear and unhurried. A photo where a hand or arm is already visible tends to give the gesture the most natural starting point.

Will the push-in distort the face?

No, the face stayed proportional and recognizable through the push-in in both test runs — a sharp, well-lit source photo gives the cleanest result at the tightest point.

Can I use a different model, or make it longer?

Yes. Five seconds on MiniMax H3 is the default; before you generate you can set up to 15 seconds or 2K on H3, or switch to another model listed for this effect in Studio, such as Wan 3.0 for up to 30 seconds. The Generate button shows the updated price first. Our samples were made on MiniMax H3, so other models may interpret the prompt a little differently.

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.

Is my result private?

Yes. Your upload and the finished clip stay private to your account and never appear on a public page.

Each effect defaults to a five-second clip priced in US dollars on the Generate button. Before you run it, you can switch to a different model, adjust the length, or change the resolution in Studio, and the price on the Generate button updates to match. An ordinary failed or expired run normally releases the reserved amount. For a content refusal, follow the selected model’s billing policy.

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.

Your subject beckons with a curled finger and a slow smile as the camera pushes in until their face fills the 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.

The main subject looks straight into the lens, a slow smile spreading, and curls one finger once or twice to beckon the viewer closer. The camera answers with a slow, steady push-in until their face fills most of the frame, their eyes never leaving the lens. The person stays exactly as they appear in the photo.

Customize in the generator

Pictures that work best

Sharp, well-lit close or medium portraits give the best result since the camera ends on a tight close-up of the face.
A seated pose with a hand or arm visible gives the beckoning gesture something to build from.
Direct eye contact with the camera in your source photo helps the held gaze read as intentional from the first frame.
Simple backgrounds keep attention on the face as the frame tightens toward the end of the clip.

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 Come Closer sample.
02
Check the price
Come Closer 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.
03
Generate
Your Come Closer clip renders in the background, lands in History and is never published.

What it does to your photo

Come Closer is a direct-address moment: your subject looks straight into the lens, a slow smile spreading, and curls one finger once or twice to beckon the viewer closer. The camera answers with a slow, steady push-in until their face fills most of the frame, their eyes never leaving the lens. It's built around a single clear gesture and a matching camera move, so it reads instantly even without sound.

In our test runs on MiniMax H3, a woman in a black blazer dress in a velvet armchair leaned forward and reached toward the lens with a beckoning hand while the camera pushed in until her smiling face filled the frame. A man in an open black shirt curled his finger at the lens with a grin, and the camera pushed in to a close-up while he kept eye contact throughout. Both runs held the gesture clearly readable rather than rushed, and the push-in landed on a tight, steady close-up in both.

Because the effect ends on a very tight close-up, start with a photo where the face is sharp and well lit — the push-in shows off detail, so soft or low-resolution source photos will look softer still by the end of the clip.

MiniMax H3 at five seconds is where it starts. You can stretch it to 15 seconds or bump it to 2K on H3, or hand the same prompt to Seedance 2.0 or Wan 3.0 in Studio, and the Generate button updates the price before anything runs. Our samples were made on MiniMax H3, so the other models are worth a test run of their own.

It works well as a call-to-action opener, a direct-address hook for a teaser clip, or a confident closing beat for a profile intro.

The prompt is public and editable. If you want the gesture to be a wave instead of a curled finger, open it in the generator and swap that phrase for the one you have in mind.
