How to Make a Burning Bridges AI Video From One Photo

Burning Bridges is a party shot: someone walks through a packed, dimly lit room with a silver cup, shades their eyes to scan the crowd, then raises the cup and points at the camera. A Burning Bridges AI video puts you in that shot from one photo. Here's how it works.

What to prepare

One photo, of you. That's the whole list.

• A clear, front-facing photo with the whole face visible and even light. A half-length or full-length shot gives the walk more to work with.
• One person only. Crop out the rest of a group photo.
• A pet photo works too. Animals can look less natural when they act out gestures, so pick one with a clear face.
• Skip sunglasses, masks and heavy filters.

For the full checklist, read How to pick photos. The photo advice is the same.

Steps

1. Open the Burning Bridges page.
2. Pick a quality: 480p, 720p or 1080p. See pricing for the current prices.
3. Upload your photo. We check it first. If it doesn't pass, nothing is charged and you can try another.
4. Pay once. There is no subscription.
5. Wait a few minutes. The finished clip waits under My videos, labelled AI generated. Download it within 30 days.

You don't write a prompt. The photo and the quality are the only choices.

What to watch for

• The crowd. The room is full of other people. Faces in a moving crowd can blur, so judge the clip by the person in the middle.
• The cup and the hand over the eyes. These two moves carry the shot. A photo where your face is large and clear gives it the best chance of looking like you.
• Sound. No music is added. The clip is silent, so add your own sound when you post it.
• Pets. If you use a pet, expect it to look more like a cartoon of the shot than a real night out.
• Who can be in it. Only you or people who agreed. Photos of celebrities, public figures or anyone under 18 are not allowed.

What you get

A 15-second MP4 in 9:16 vertical, marked as AI generated. It is a new clip, not a filter on your own footage.
