About this preset
Give us a finished still, a cover, a poster, a thumbnail or a launch post, and get a four to eight second clip that animates into it. The scene comes alive first, then the words arrive in your own typefaces and colors, and the clip settles and lands exactly on your still, so the last frame is the picture you made. Pick how it moves (a slow push in, a parallax drift, elements assembling, a light sweep, a focus pull or a quietly living scene), silent or with sound, and whether it lands on the still or loops back to it seamlessly. It runs on MiniMax H3, the lane that holds lettering steady, with your still pinned as the final frame, and it follows naturally from a cover, poster or thumbnail you made here.
Use cases
- Album, single and book cover reveals for the feed
- Animated YouTube thumbnails and Shorts covers
- Poster and event announcements that move
- Launch posts that land on the product shot
- Looping feed cards from a static design

Shorts cover reveal, 5 seconds: the scene comes alive, I LIVED TINY arrives word by word, and the clip lands on the finished thumbnail
A cover reveal: a short clip that animates into the finished still given as the end frame and lands on it exactly. For the first third of the clip the scene of the still comes alive with none of its words showing yet, moving as THE MOTION line below describes. Through the middle third the words listed under THE TEXT below arrive one at a time in the still's own typefaces, colors and sizes, each sliding or fading into its exact final place. The final third settles and holds, and the last frame is the still itself, every word spelled and placed exactly as the still shows it. The picture stays true to the still throughout, the same subject, palette, light and layout, and the only words that ever appear are the ones printed on the still. THE TEXT: I LIVED TINY. THE MOTION: a slow steady push in toward the final framing with soft parallax between the subject and the background.
