AI+ motion and looks

Bring a photo to life with real motion, or give it a look like Day to dusk or Starry night.

Time
About two minutes per shot, while you keep editing
Where
Keylight Studio > AI+; or a shot's Edit > AI+
Who
Trial and every plan, with AI+ credits
Cost
1 AI+ credit per shot. Switching versions and turning AI+ off are free

Standard camera movement glides through your photo. AI+ goes further: water ripples, fire flickers, trees and clouds move, or the scene changes with a look.

Add a look

  1. Open AI+ in Keylight Studio

    Your credits show at the top, and shots that already have AI+ are listed under In your video.

  2. Pick a look under Looks

    Each tile loops an example.

  3. Pick a shot

    The sheet asks which shot gets the look. Up to three are marked Good fit. Looks made for outside shots leave inside shots out, and say so. Nothing is made until you press Make.

  4. Press Make

    Check the example beside your shot, then press the Make button, which names the look (for example "Make Day to dusk"). The line under it tells you the cost: "Uses 1 of your N AI+ credits on this listing."

  5. Keep editing

    It takes about two minutes. The clip drops into your video by itself ("AI+ clip ready").

From a single shot

In Shots, press Edit on a shot and choose AI+ under Movement. Natural motion is recommended; you can add a note on what should move ("For example: the fire in the fireplace"). AI+ on shows on the shot; choose it again to go back to camera movement.

Versions, thumbs and the free redo

  • Every result is kept as a version. Switching between versions is free.
  • Rate a result with thumbs up or down. After a thumbs down, tell us why and you get Make again free once.
  • Make again at any other time uses 1 credit.
  • Undo keeps a paid result at no charge; Redo brings it back free.

Credits

AI+ credits are per listing, not per month. AI Seamless uses the same credits. Your balance is in More > AI+ credits; Get more AI+ credits adds a pack or a boost (see Add-ons). Reel-E may add one AI+ shot to a first video on its own, outside your credits.

Good to know

  • AI+ is off in the Flow Style; your AI+ shots are kept and return in Cinematic or Fast Cuts.
  • AI+ shots end on a gentle push-in, and the transitions next to them are fixed.
  • Clips are 5 seconds, or longer when a longer shot needs it.

If something looks off

If a clip cannot be made, your credit comes back and the shot uses standard movement, so your video is never stuck. There is nothing to retry.
