Silent video

PetCostumeAI's gift box surprise makes a 5-second video from one photo of your dog or cat: a wrapped present under the Christmas tree pops open and your pet peeks out at the camera. The camera stays still. The video is silent, vertical or square, and costs 300–800 credits by quality.

Image effects create still pictures. Effect videos are delivered silently, without a soundtrack.
