How to make it

  1. Choose the photo

    A photo where their face is clear and toward the camera. A scanned print works.

  2. Pick the moment

    Bring to Life for their portrait alone, or Memorial Hug with a photo of you.

  3. Pick a length

    Five seconds is one quiet moment; eight or ten seconds lets it linger.

  4. Watch it first

    Watch it on your own before anyone else does, then decide whether to share it.

The short answer

Add their photo, pick an effect and render. With one photo, their portrait comes alive for a few seconds: a blink, a soft smile, a glance aside and back. With a photo of you too, the memorial hug brings the two of you together in warm light for a long hug.

You do not need to write a prompt. Each effect is a tested scene, so the faces stay as they are in the photos.

Choosing the right photo

Pick a photo where they look like themselves: face toward the camera, eyes open, in good light. A portrait or a close crop works better than a small face in a group picture.

For an old print, photograph it flat in daylight, straight from above, without flash or glare. Black-and-white is fine; to keep that look, use animate old photos.

For a funeral or a memorial service

Make a few short clips from different photos and play them between still pictures in the slideshow. Keep the music low; each clip has its own soft piano and no speech.

A gentle word before you share it

It is an imagined moment made from photos. It does not bring anyone back, and it never puts words in their mouth. Some people find it comforting; some find it too much. Ask the family before you share it, and keep it private if anyone is unsure.
