Ghost Drop AI Video Effect

The person vanishes in an instant. Their outer clothes hold their shape for a split second, as if still being worn, before they collapse empty onto the seat or the ground. The camera pushes in on the empty clothes. It is a quick, surprising vanish with a comic or spooky feel.

In our test runs on MiniMax H3, a woman with long dark hair and sunglasses in a camel trench coat sitting on a park bench among autumn leaves faded out at second one, leaving her empty coat holding her seated shape for a moment before it collapsed onto the bench at second three, and the camera pushed in on the empty coat. In a second run, an older bald man in sunglasses and a camel overcoat sitting on a green bench in a misty, frosty park vanished at second one, leaving the empty coat still holding his seated shape as the camera pushed in on it through the end. In a third run, a woman with long braids and sunglasses in a camel trench coat sitting on a bench under cherry blossoms vanished at second one and a half, leaving the empty trench holding her shape before it slumped onto the bench as the camera pushed in.

Works best on a photo where the person is seated or standing with clearly visible outer clothing, such as a jacket or coat, so there is something to collapse. The person is gone at the end and the clothes are left behind, so layered outfits read better than very minimal ones. A plain surface for the clothes to land on keeps the ending clean.

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 jokes, spooky edits and surprise reveals. It works as a punchline or a mystery beat.

Change "collapse empty onto the seat or the ground" to "collapse empty onto the floor" for a standing version, or change "pushes in on the empty clothes" to "pulls back from the empty clothes" for a wider ending.
