A birthday through the years
Five photographs can tell a 30-second story: childhood, an early adventure, a milestone, a family moment and a recent portrait. End with a short birthday message.

From your photo to your idea.
Arrange the story
Upload 2–10 photos and choose their order. Start with a welcoming portrait, add shared moments and end with an image that feels like a conclusion. Each scene can run for 2–6 seconds, up to 60 seconds in total.
Set movement and mood
Choose restrained animation for each scene. Write your idea, or use the assistant to help plan it. Add a title, short scene captions and a cut, fade or dissolve transition. Choose landscape, portrait or square framing.
Review the film and its cost
Optional music has its own price. Choose calm, warm, celebratory, cinematic or energetic music and refine the description. Review the plan before generation. When assembly is available, download the finished film, silent video and music separately.
A few ways to make someone smile.
A wedding anniversary
Pair a wedding portrait with a few moments from later years. Gentle transitions and warm instrumental music can help the pictures feel connected.
An ordinary day worth keeping
A garden, a shared meal, a familiar smile. A film does not need a major occasion. Let the quieter photographs set the pace.
Words to get you started
Try a clear, gentle direction.
Review the proposed scenes, music description and captions before confirming. An assistant’s plan is editable.
Make a 30-second birthday film from these five photos in their current order. Use gentle, natural motion and soft fades. Add warm instrumental piano without vocals. End with the caption “Happy birthday, Grandma”. Keep faces and clothing consistent with the originals.
Before you begin
How many photos do I need?
The film planner accepts 2–10 photos. Plan for 2–6 seconds per photo. Five photos can fill 30 seconds; ten can fill up to a minute. A shorter film can often feel more focused.
Do I have to use the assistant?
No. You can upload photos and set the motion, captions, transitions, framing and music yourself. The assistant is optional and helps turn a written idea into an editable plan.
Can I add music and download it separately?
Music is an optional paid addition when the music service is available. The completed production offers a film with audio, a silent video and the generated music as separate downloads.
Can the model invent a connected story between photographs?
You can plan a sequence and direct each animated scene. This does not guarantee continuous action or identical details across separate photographs. A coherent order, similar framing and restrained motion make the sequence easier to follow.
