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.

Rippling bands of light dance across the whole scene as if seen from beneath a clear sea surface, washing everything in a soft blue-green glow. Fine bubbles and drifting specks float slowly upward while the camera sways gently and the main subject stays calm and in place.

Pictures that work best

  • Close portraits and simple product shots work best: the light patterns need large, clean surfaces.
  • Plain or soft backgrounds are replaced most convincingly by open water.
  • Pale clothing and white objects show the moving caustic light most clearly.
  • Leave a little room above the subject; the model sometimes shows the water surface along the top edge.
  • Seedance 2.0 Fast keeps your original colors more closely if you want a lighter touch.

Models this effect runs on

The same prompt on different models. Pick by look and by price.

How it works

  1. 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 Underwater Light sample.

  2. 02

    Check the price

    Underwater Light 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.

  3. 03

    Generate

    Your Underwater Light clip renders in the background, lands in History and is never published.

Do the move yourself

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

What it does to your photo

Underwater Light makes your photo look as if it were shot a meter below a calm, clear sea. Rippling bands of light slide across everything in the frame, the colors wash into a soft blue-green, and fine bubbles drift slowly upward while the camera sways gently, as if it were floating too. Your subject stays calm and in place.

On MiniMax H3 a close-up portrait of a woman in an ivory silk blouse went fully underwater: the background turned pale aqua, moving caustic light played across her face and the silk, tiny bubbles rose past her hair, and by the last second the silver line of the surface appeared at the top of the frame. A white porcelain vase on a travertine block made an equally striking product shot: the brown studio flooded with deep teal in two seconds and the light patterns crawled over the vase and stone. Seedance 2.0 Fast, on the same portrait, kept her original skin tones and simply let the rippling light and bubbles play over her, a subtler and more natural take.

The effect is at its best on close portraits, beauty and fashion shots, and clean product photos with a plain background, where the moving light has large surfaces to travel across. Fragrance, skincare, resort-wear and jewelry brands use it for a cool, weightless mood without a pool shoot.

Hair can drift a little upward as it would in water, and the colors shift toward aqua; the face, clothes and pose do not change. If you prefer a warmer, sunlit sea, customize the prompt and replace "blue-green glow" with "warm turquoise glow".
