Earth zoom out: from a city plaza to the whole planet

Upload a photo and you wave up at the camera. Then it rises, faster and faster, past the city and the coastline, until Earth hangs in black space.

How to make a Earth Zoom Out video

  1. Add a photo

    One clear photo of your face is enough; add a second photo and you both wave from the plaza.

  2. Keep Earth Zoom Out selected

    This page opens the creator on the Earth Zoom Out effect, so the plaza, the climb and the planet are already set.

  3. Pick a length

    Five seconds is a quick rocket ride. Eight or ten seconds slows the climb so each stage gets a beat.

  4. Post or edit it

    Post it as it is, or reverse it in your editor to fall from space into your own footage.

Ways to use an earth zoom out

One take, from a face to the planet. It works as a joke, an opener or a transition:

  • The big announcement

    New job, new city, engaged. Start on your face and pull out to the planet, then reveal the news.

  • Video opener

    Put it at the start of a travel vlog or a recap so the first second stops the scroll.

  • Reverse it

    Play it backwards and you drop from space straight into your next clip.

  • Long-distance love

    Make one for each of you, then put them side by side: two plazas, one planet.

  • Birthday from space

    Cast the birthday person, then cut to the party. It is the biggest entrance anyone will get this year.

  • Small business, big reveal

    Wave from the plaza, zoom out, then cut to your shop. A cheap and memorable promo opener.

What is an earth zoom out?

An earth zoom out is a single continuous take that starts close on a person and keeps rising: the street, the city blocks, the coastline, the curve of the horizon, and finally the whole planet in black space. It took off on TikTok and Reels because the jump in scale stops people mid-scroll.

Doing it by hand means drone footage, satellite imagery and careful editing. Here the AI builds the whole climb around your photo in one take, with no cuts to line up.

Why make it here

The studio behind our ai rap video generator makes these too: if a render does not finish, the credits come back on their own, and if a finished one looks wrong, tell us and we will look at it.

Effects cost 1 credit per second, so a five-second zoom out is 5 credits and a ten-second one is 10. See pricing for packs and plans.

More from one photo

Want to stay on the ground and move? The ai dance video turns the same photo into a routine in a neon studio.

Or keep the scale and add a song: the ai music video generator puts you on a stage performing lines written for you; edit any line.

Photos that work best

The opening frame is the only close-up, so it needs a sharp, front-on, well-lit face. The background of your photo does not matter; the plaza is made for you.

You keep the outfit from your photo. Faces, hair and skin tone stay true to it; if something looks off, tell us and we will look at it.

Earth Zoom Out questions

Upload one clear photo, keep the Earth Zoom Out effect selected, pick a length and render. You get one vertical 720p take that starts on your face and ends on the whole planet.
No. The whole climb is generated in one take from your photo. You only need an editor if you want to reverse it or cut it into other footage.
Yes. Upload a photo of each person, or one photo with both of you, and you wave from the plaza together.
Five seconds is 5 credits, eight seconds 8 and ten seconds 10. Longer clips slow the climb down.
Yes: a rising cinematic swell that fades into a quiet space drone, with no speech. Add your own song on the platform if you like.
Yes. Reverse the clip and it becomes a fall from space, which cuts neatly into a close-up of you in your own footage.
Your own, or photos of people who agreed to be in the video. Do not upload a celebrity or anyone who has not said yes.
