Does it work with a close-up portrait instead of a full body shot?

It can generate something, but the walking motion has much less room to develop without a full or near-full body starting pose and a clear line of sight ahead of the subject.

How close does the camera let them get?

In both of our test runs the subject stopped right at the lens with a small smile — close enough to fill most of the final frame.

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 walks straight toward the camera with an unhurried sway, holding eye contact until they stop close to the lens.

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 walks slowly and confidently straight toward the camera, holding eye contact the whole way with an unhurried sway in each step, and stops close to the lens with a small, knowing smile. The camera is handheld at eye level like a point of view and eases back slightly as they approach. The person stays exactly as they appear in the photo.

Pictures that work best

Full-body or near-full-body photos give the walk room to develop; tight close-ups leave little space for an approach.
A photo with a long sightline in front of the subject — a hallway, a room, an open floor — reads best, since the walk needs somewhere to go.
Confident, upright starting poses translate into a steadier walk than a slouched or seated one.
Simple, uncluttered floors and walls keep the eye on the approach rather than the background.

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

Do the move yourself

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

What it does to your photo

Walk to You turns a still photo into an approach: your subject walks slowly and confidently straight toward the camera, holding eye contact the whole way with an unhurried sway in each step, and stops close to the lens with a small, knowing smile. The camera is handheld at eye level like a point of view and eases back slightly as they approach, so it plays like the viewer is the one being walked up to.

In our test runs on MiniMax H3, a woman in a red satin dress walked from the far end of a hotel corridor straight toward the camera and stopped close to the lens with a small smile at second five. A man in a navy suit with his hands in his pockets walked the length of the corridor toward the lens and stopped close with a relaxed smile. Both runs used long, straight sightlines that gave the walk somewhere to travel, which is what makes the approach read clearly rather than feeling cramped.

Because the whole effect is a walk toward camera, a full-body or near-full-body photo with a clear line of sight in front of the subject works far better than a tight close-up, which gives the model very little room to stage the approach.

The default is five seconds on MiniMax H3, but nothing is locked: pick another model from the list in Studio, such as Seedance 2.0 Fast, Vidu Q3 Turbo or Wan 3.0, or change the length and resolution, and the price on the Generate button follows. We made our samples on MiniMax H3; other models interpret the same wording a little differently.

It's a strong opener for a runway-style or fashion-forward clip, a confident intro for a profile or dating reel, or a hook for a teaser that wants a clear beginning, middle, and end.

The prompt is public and editable. If you'd rather they stop farther from the lens, open it in the generator and edit "stops close to the lens" to the distance you want.
