Does the person stay the same?

Yes. The prompt keeps the person exactly as they appear in your photo. Only the camera position and the background blur change.

Why does the background turn into big glowing circles?

Lights behind the person swell into bokeh discs as the camera closes in. A background with no bright spots will blur softly but show fewer discs.

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.

Within the first second the camera starts a steady dolly push straight toward the person, gliding past the foreground so it slides out of both sides of the frame. The background melts away and every point of light behind them swells into a huge glowing bokeh disc. By the fourth second the frame is a tight close-up on the face and eyes, and it holds there while they keep looking into the lens. The person stays exactly as they appear in the photo.

Customize in the generator

Pictures that work best

Shoot or pick a photo with a few distant lights, windows or lamps behind the person. Those are the points that turn into the large bokeh discs.
Leave some space around the head. A tightly cropped face has nowhere to push into, so the move reads as a small zoom instead of a glide.
A subject looking at the camera ends the shot strongest, because the final hold is on the eyes.
If foreground objects such as leaves or a railing sit at the frame edges, they will slide past as the camera moves and add depth.

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 Slow Push-In sample.
02
Check the price
Slow Push-In 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 Slow Push-In clip renders in the background, lands in History and is never published.

Do the move yourself

Slow Push-In keeps one version of this move. For your own speed or ending, write the Slow Push-In move yourself in Image to Video; the prompt library has camera-move wording that worked.

What it does to your photo

In the first second the camera starts a steady push straight toward the person, gliding past anything in the foreground until it slides out of both sides of the frame. The background melts away and every point of light behind them swells into a large glowing bokeh disc. By the fourth second the frame is a tight close-up on the face and eyes, and it holds there while they keep looking into the lens. The person stays exactly as they appear in your photo throughout.

In our test runs on MiniMax H3, a woman with long dark waves and a nose stud in an emerald velvet blazer, standing before a wall of hanging warm bulbs, held the lens as the camera began a steady dolly push at second one, the bulbs behind her swelled into large golden bokeh discs by second two and a half, and the shot settled on a tight close-up of her face by second three and a half.

Photos with real depth work best: a person in front, a few lights or bright spots behind, and a little foreground at the edges. Straight-on, eye-level portraits give the cleanest finish on the eyes. Flat backdrops produce less bokeh, since there are no light points to swell, and a person already shot in extreme close-up has little room left to push into. The effect leaves the person exactly as they are in your photo and only adds the camera move.

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 a cinematic opener, a reveal on a profile or character shot, or a short loop that pulls attention to the eyes.

The prompt is public and editable. Open it in the generator and change "a tight close-up on the face and eyes" to "a medium close-up on the face and shoulders" if you want a gentler push that keeps more of the person in frame.
