Video Effects AI Tips

Turn anything in your videos — pets, people, everyday objects — into moments you could only imagine. No editing skills required: the AI does the heavy lifting for you.

Tip #1Choose the Right Subject

Not every subject reacts the same way to AI effects. For the cleanest results:

  • Pick subjects with a clear outline and good contrast against the background.
  • Keep your main subject centered in the frame so the effect applies properly.

Tip #2Lighting and Background Matter

Even with AI doing the work, solid fundamentals make a huge difference:

  • Use simple, uncluttered backgrounds that won't compete with the effect.
  • Avoid busy patterns or backgrounds that share the same color as your subject.

Bad cluttered

Tip #3Experiment with Camera Angles

Different perspectives can dramatically improve your AI effects:

  • For "Squish" or "Crush" effects, film from slightly below to emphasize the transformation.
  • For "Princess" or "VIP Transformation," a straight-on angle best showcases the full makeover.
  • For "Flying" effects, start low and look up to create a more dramatic ascent.

Bad weird angle

Tip #4Match Effects to Content

Create memorable videos by thoughtfully pairing subjects with complementary effects:

  • Use "Flying" for pets or objects that would be amusing to see defy gravity.
  • Apply "360 Microwave" to things that wouldn't normally spin.
  • Try "Cakify" on everyday items for the surprise when they turn out to be cake.
  • Use "Crush" effects on resilient objects for maximum visual impact.
