What this action does
Birthday celebration with joy. You give the app a single photograph and it generates a short clip of that movement, roughly 5 seconds long. Nothing is filmed and nothing is recovered: the motion is produced from the one frame you supply.
What photo works best
Waist up, front on, in a room with some visible depth behind you. If there is a cake or a candle in the photograph, keep it whole and in frame rather than cut by the edge. Warm indoor light suits this one, provided faces are not left in shadow.
What to expect
One photograph goes in and a short clip comes out. It is generated rather than filmed, so run it twice if the first attempt puts a hand somewhere strange; the second version will not be identical.
If the result is not convincing, the fix is almost always the photograph rather than the settings. Reshoot it wider, get more light on the face, and move the arms clear of the body. The rest of what decides the result applies to every action here, and the limits apply to this one too.

- Waist up, front on, in a room with some visible depth behind you. If there is a cake or a candle in the photograph, keep it whole and in frame rather than cut by the edge. Warm indoor light suits this one, provided faces are not left in shadow.
- How long is the video?
- About 5 seconds. That is what the default model in the app's catalogue is configured to produce, and it is the same for every action in the library.
- Do I need a subscription to use Birthday Party?
- No. Birthday Party is not a subscription only action. AI Video is free to download and includes two videos a day at no cost; beyond that you need credits or a Pro subscription.
The right action for the photo beats the popular one
Every action in the library is written up the same way, so you can check whether the picture in your camera roll actually suits it before you spend a credit.
