Video Effects AI Tips

Transform anything in your videos—pets, people, objects—into moments that you can only imagine with our playful effects. No editing skills required, AI does all the heavy lifting for you!

Tip #1: Choose the Right Subject

Not all subjects work equally well with AI effects. For the best results:

  • Use subjects with clear outlines and good contrast from the background
  • Center your main subject in the frame to ensure the effect applies properly

Tip #2: Lighting and Background Matter

Even with AI doing the heavy lifting, good fundamentals make a huge difference:

  • Use simple, uncluttered backgrounds that won't compete with the effect
  • Avoid busy patterns or backgrounds that are similar in color to your subject

Good: obvious subject

Good

Bad: cluttered

Bad

Tip #3: Experiment with Camera Angles

Different perspectives can dramatically improve your AI effects:

  • For "Squish" or "Crush" effects, try filming from slightly below your subject to emphasize the transformation
  • For "Princess" or "VIP Transformation," a straight-on angle often works best to showcase the full makeover
  • For "Flying" effects, start with a low angle looking up to create a more dramatic ascent

Good: centered subject

Good

Bad: weird angle

Bad

Tip #4: Match 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 objects that wouldn't normally spin (like stuffed animals or books)
  • Try "Cakify" on everyday items for the surprise factor when they're revealed to be cake
  • Use "Crush" effects on resilient objects for maximum visual impact
