Does my subject say anything?

No. The clip is silent by default and the "shh" is a gesture only. You can add sound on models that support it in Studio.

Does it work on a smiling photo?

Yes. The effect starts from whatever expression is in your photo and moves through the gesture into its own slow smile.

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.

Back to the studio

Your subject raises a finger to their lips in a quiet shh, eyes glinting like they are keeping a secret, then lets a mischievous smile spread.

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 into the lens, slowly raises one finger to their lips in a quiet 'shh', eyes glinting as if keeping a secret, then lowers the hand and lets a slow, mischievous smile spread while holding the look. The camera holds close and steady. The person stays exactly as they appear in the photo.

Customize in the generator

Pictures that work best

Head-and-shoulders portraits keep the finger-to-lips gesture large and clear.
A direct look into the camera in the photo makes the secret feel personal.
Empty hands work best; a held object may get in the way of the gesture.
Even, soft lighting keeps the glint in the eyes visible.

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

Do the move yourself

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

What it does to your photo

Hush is a one-gesture secret. Your subject looks into the lens, slowly raises one finger to their lips in a quiet "shh", eyes glinting as if they are keeping something just between the two of you, then lowers the hand and lets a slow, mischievous smile spread while they hold the look. The camera stays close and steady.

In our test runs on MiniMax H3, a red-haired woman in an off-the-shoulder knit raised one finger to her lips from second one to three, then lowered it into a wide, mischievous smile. In a second run, a dark-haired man in a black shirt held a finger to his lips from second one to three, eyes steady on the lens, then let a slow, crooked smile take over.

Close and chest-up portraits work best, because the gesture happens right in front of the face. A spare hand in the photo helps; a subject holding a drink or a phone may hesitate.

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.

It works as a teaser for something coming later, a playful sign-off, or a hook that invites the viewer to keep watching.

The prompt is public and editable. For a bigger finish, add "and a slow wink" after the smile; for a softer one, swap "mischievous" for "shy".
