RIFTAdd one photo and tell Spark the camera move and the mood. Rift turns it into a single film-like shot.
How the format works
- The photo. A person, a pet, a street or an object, clear and well lit.
- The move. A slow push in, a gentle pan or a circle around the subject.
- The atmosphere. Rain, mist, dust in the light or lights coming on.
- The beat. One small action, such as a glance or a breeze in the hair.
Why it works
It takes something familiar and adds depth, which makes people stop. One photo is enough, so almost anyone can try it with an image they already love.
Make your own in Rift
- Open Rift and add the photo you want to turn into a scene.
- Tell Spark: “Slow push in on me at a rainy bus stop at night, street lights glowing, a bus passes behind.”
- Check the Draft and tap Make.
- Find the video in your Library and post it.
Rift makes one shot of up to 15 seconds. For a longer how-to, see turn a photo into a video on iPhone.
Ideas for a new take
- A dog waiting at a window in the evening light.
- A parked car in a misty car park, headlights switching on.
- A coffee cup on a table as rain starts outside.
- A quiet town square at dawn.
Keep it fun
Use your own photos or ones you have permission for, and keep it clear it is made for fun.
