How to show the same place in all four seasons

Updated October 21, 2026 · Reviewed by The Rift team

Short answer

Take one photo of the place, add it in Rift, and tell Spark, Rift's video agent, the season: 'same street, deep winter, snow falling, lights on'. Spark keeps the buildings, trees and framing and changes the season. Make one per season, as pictures or short videos up to 15 seconds, and post them as a set or one after another.

One photo of a place gives you the same view in winter, spring, summer and autumn, as pictures or short videos.

What you need

An iPhone with Rift.
One photo of the place: straight, wide, in daylight.

Step by step

Add the photo in Rift.
Say the first season and what to keep.
Check the Draft and tap Make.
Repeat for the other three seasons with the same line.
Post the four as a set or one after another.

Lines to try with Spark

“Same street, deep winter, snow falling, lights on in the windows.”
“Same garden in spring, blossoms drifting, soft morning light.”
“Same café terrace in high summer, busy, bright sun.”
“Same lake view in autumn, orange trees, mist on the water.”
“Same view from my window in a storm at night.”

Tips

Use the same line shape each time, so only the season changes.
Say “keep the framing” so the four line up.
Videos with weather (snow, rain, leaves) are the most shared.
Try times of day too: the same place at dawn, noon, dusk and night.

Questions people ask

Will the place stay the same?

Say "keep the buildings and framing" and Spark changes only the season, light and weather.

Can I post the four seasons as a set?

Yes. Make one picture or video per season, then post them together or one after another.

Can I join the four into one clip?

Each Make is one shot. Put the four together in your posting app.

Does it work for a shop front?

Yes. Shops use it for seasonal posts and window ideas.
