What colour will the ribbon be?

It follows the mood of your photo rather than one fixed colour — in our tests it came out pale pink in a spring garden and warm ivory on a sunset beach.

My photo is a profile shot — will the face turn to the camera?

It can. In our profile test the subject turned from side-on to face the lens partway through the clip, and that front-facing look is generated rather than pulled from the original photo.

Does the ribbon ever cover the face?

Briefly — in one of our runs it swept across the face for under a second as it looped in, then settled into an arc around the subject for the rest of the clip.

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.

How long is the Silk in the Wind clip, and can it be longer?

Silk in the Wind defaults to a 5-second clip. Before you run it in Studio, you can choose a longer length — the maximum depends on the model you pick — and the price on the button updates to match. You can also continue on the canvas from the clip's last 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.

A long ribbon of silk sweeps in on the wind and swirls around the main subject in slow motion, its glossy folds catching the light as they wrap and unfurl through the frame. The subject tilts their head with a calm, knowing look while the camera glides slowly sideways.

Customize in the generator

Pictures that work best

Outdoor or naturally lit photos give the ribbon a scene to take its colour from — ours came out pale pink in a garden and warm ivory at sunset.
A calm, gentle expression in the source photo sets up the head tilt and half-smile nicely.
If your photo is shot in profile, expect the model to turn the head toward the camera partway through — the resulting face is generated for that angle.
Leave some open space around the shoulders and chest; the ribbon needs room to loop through the frame.

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

What it does to your photo

Silk in the Wind sweeps a long ribbon of silk into frame and wraps it around your subject in slow motion, its glossy folds catching the light as it loops and unfurls. A calm, knowing tilt of the head and a slow sideways camera glide turn a still photo into a moment with mood and movement, and the ribbon takes its colour from the scene around your subject rather than arriving in one fixed shade.

In our test runs on MiniMax H3, a wide pale-pink satin ribbon swept up from the bottom of the frame and looped around a woman in a cherry orchard, forming big glossy arcs in front of and behind her; it briefly crossed her face around the one-second mark, then settled into a halo-like loop while she tilted her head and gave a soft, knowing smile, with the whole motion reading slow and dreamy. A long, slightly translucent ivory silk ribbon wrapped around a man in a white linen shirt against a sunset beach, looping across his chest and behind his head; he turned from a side profile to face the camera by the three-second mark with a calm, faint smile as the ribbon kept unfurling in warm backlight, its partial transparency reading as ethereal rather than glitchy.

The ribbon can briefly cross the face for under a second as it loops in — it didn't disrupt either subject's identity in our tests, but it's part of the motion to expect. If your photo shows the subject in profile, the model may turn the head to face the camera partway through, so the resulting front-facing look is generated for that angle rather than pulled from your original shot.

Where it earns its keep: the opener for a fashion film, a dreamy transition shot, romance or lifestyle content, or a soft closing beat for a lookbook reel.

The prompt is public and editable. If you want a specific ribbon colour instead of one that matches the scene, open it in the generator and name the colour directly.
