Does the glitter cover the person?

It falls around them and bounces off their shoulders, and does not bury the face.

Can I change the color?

Yes. Edit the glitter color in the prompt.

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.

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.

A torrent of fine gold glitter pours down from above onto the person in slow motion, thousands of tiny flakes flashing in the light, bouncing off their shoulders and swirling around them. They tilt their head back with eyes closed, then open their eyes and look straight into the lens as the golden storm keeps falling. The person stays exactly as they appear in the photo.

Pictures that work best

Dark or plain backgrounds make the glitter stand out.
A visible face lets the eyes-open moment land.
Strong light in the photo gives the flakes more glint.

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 Gold Dust sample.
02
Check the price
Gold Dust 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 Gold Dust clip renders in the background, lands in History and is never published.

Do the move yourself

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

What it does to your photo

A torrent of fine gold glitter pours down from above onto the person in slow motion. Thousands of tiny flakes flash in the light, bounce off their shoulders and swirl around them. They tilt their head back with eyes closed, then open their eyes and look straight into the lens as the golden storm keeps falling.

In our test runs on MiniMax H3, a woman with sleek centre-parted dark hair and gold hoop earrings in a black turtleneck against a black backdrop closed her eyes as a torrent of gold glitter poured onto her head from the first second, cascading down her hair and face by second two and settling as glittering gold flakes across her forehead and shoulders. In a second run, a man with short black hair and a moustache in a black velvet mandarin-collar jacket against a black backdrop closed his eyes as a stream of gold glitter poured onto his head at second one, was showered in a cascade of flashing gold flakes through second two and a half, and ended with gold glitter on his hair, nose and shoulders, eyes half open toward the lens.

Works best on a portrait or waist-up photo with a face visible and a plain or dark background, so the gold flakes catch the light. A person looking toward the camera gives the final look a strong focus. Busy backgrounds can compete with the glitter, and eyes that are already closed make the open-eyes ending less clear. 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 glamorous, celebratory and luxury-style clips, and for dramatic profile loops.

Change "fine gold glitter" to "fine silver glitter" for a cooler look, or change "in slow motion" to "in fast motion" for a quicker storm.
