EffectReel turns photos into prepared short-video trends for personal social posts. Choose a scene, add the person who should star in it, and download the finished clip. Its catalog brings solo performances, a two-person rap duo, a motorbike chase and a basketball sequence into one browser workflow, with one-time credits shared across the effects.
Choose the Scene Before Adding Photos
The effect catalog shows the performance and timing before upload. Solo effects take one clear photo; Hotel Lobby takes two, with the left photo assigned to the rapper and the right photo to the hype performer. The scene and movement come with the effect, so the main creative choice is who appears in it.
| Effect | Photo inputs | Listed duration | Output framing |
|---|---|---|---|
| Basketball Middle Finger | One | 8 seconds | Vertical 9:16 |
| Bby Wow Guy | One | 9 seconds | Vertical 9:16 |
| Hotel Lobby | Two, one per performer | 16 seconds | Vertical 9:16 |
| Crazy Frog | One | 15 seconds | Landscape 16:9 plus vertical 9:16 |
| Fergie Baby | One | 20.7 seconds | Vertical 9:16 |
| Check One Check Two | One | 9.4 seconds | Vertical 9:16 |
| Money Spread | One | 15 seconds | Vertical 9:16 |
Choose a photo with a clear, forward-facing face and good lighting. The provider recommends waist-up or full-body photos when the outfit matters. The Hotel Lobby studio makes the two roles explicit, which helps friends or couples decide who leads the verse and who supplies the reactions.
Download the Clip, Then Add the Sound
Results are silent MP4 files without a watermark. Add permitted music in TikTok, Reels or an editor, following the sound and timing instructions on the selected effect page. Hotel Lobby pairs its 16-second clip with the named sound starting at 0:00; other effects have their own cues. For example, the basketball sequence places the airborne gesture at 0:03, while Crazy Frog includes both landscape and vertical copies for different posts.
The service runs in the browser without an app or account. EffectReel estimates about 10–20 minutes for a result and emails the download link, so the browser can be closed during processing. Its support page explains how to retrieve results and use the same pack on another device.
One-Time Video Packs
| Pack | Price | What it covers |
|---|---|---|
| 1 video | $9.99 | One generation on any effect |
| 3 videos | $19.99 | Three generations, in any mix of effects |
| 10 videos | $59.99 | Ten generations, in any mix of effects |
One credit makes one video. Credits never expire and are attached to a private pack link rather than an account. Keep the link from the order email to use remaining credits on another phone or browser. A generation that fails automatically returns its credit. For a completed result that needs attention, the result page's Needs work control sends feedback for human follow-up.
Photos, Posting and Storage
Use photos of yourself or other consenting adults, in line with the photo rules. The terms permit personal and social media posts when the required photo rights and consent are in place. Label the clip as AI-generated and use music licensed for the intended post; business accounts should choose appropriately licensed audio.
According to the privacy policy, photos are used to make the video rather than for advertising or model training. Necessary providers process hosting, payment and generation. Uploaded photos and generated images and videos are deleted automatically after 30 days; earlier deletion is available through support. Save the finished files you want to retain.
