A photo that suddenly moves is a surprise. That is why a short video made with artificial intelligence from a photo is an original gift for a birthday, a Christmas dinner or a group of friends. There is nothing to wrap and no delivery to wait for, because the video is digital and is usually ready in a few minutes.
Here are ideas for each occasion, which effect suits each one and what is worth knowing before giving it.
Ideas for each occasion
Birthdays
A full length photo of the birthday person and an unexpected dance. Viral dance and Flamenco work very well to open the greetings in the WhatsApp group, and Laughing fit for something shorter and contagious.
Christmas and family gatherings
An old family photo that smiles and blinks. With Photo comes to life a portrait of your grandparents when they were young moves naturally. Scan the photo at a good resolution to get a better result.
Milestone birthdays and retirements
For a laugh together, Age 40 years shows the face in the photo ageing little by little, while still being the same person. Always use it with someone who will take it with humour.
Anniversaries
Our effects are designed for one person, so for a couple the place works better than the portrait. A photo of the spot where you met or of your first trip becomes an aerial shot with Drone view or goes from day to night with Day to night.
For someone who lives far away
A photo of the village, the neighbourhood or the family home seen from the air is a lovely memory for someone who has moved away or lives in another country.
If you do not know which photo to choose
Give the Vidia gift card, in three amounts. That way the other person chooses their photo and their effect whenever they like.
How it is delivered
- You get an email with the link to your video, usually in a few minutes.
- First you see it in a preview with the Vidia logo and, when you download it, you get it without the logo, as an MP4 and with sound.
- You have 48 hours to download it. After that you can send it on WhatsApp, post it on social media or put it on the TV during dinner.
Before giving it
- Ask for permission. The person in the photo has to be an adult and agree to you using their image.
- No children. We do not create videos from photos in which a minor appears.
- The AI may change some detail. Check the video before giving it and, if you are not happy, ask for the free redo before downloading it.
- It does not make anyone talk or sing. The effects move the face and body, but the person does not say anything.
How much it costs
Essential effects cost very little for a 4 or 8 second video. HD effects, such as Photo comes to life or Age 40 years, cost a bit more for 8 seconds. If you give several at once, with three effects in the cart the cheapest one is free. Taxes are included and there is no subscription.
