    Photo needed: One clear photo of you, face visible. Adults only.

What you upload and what you get

You upload

One clear photo of you, face visible. Adults only.

Upload one clear photo of yourself in good light. The finished scene is a dark club, but a dark photo hides the details the model needs. Face the camera and show your head and shoulders. Use only one person, and remove sunglasses.

Use JPG, PNG, WebP, HEIC, up to 30 MB. Photos are resized before upload. You can swap the picture before you start. You must be 18 or older. Confirm photo rights and adult age. We delete uploads after 7 days and never use them to train models.

You get

MP4, 720p, 16:9, 6 s. Template soundtrack included.

You stand in a dark nightclub with blue and red lights. You close your eyes and sway to the beat. After two seconds you slowly raise both hands behind your head. The video is wide, so it fits a computer screen or a TV.

This effect uses 30 credits for one video. Pack pricing starts from $2.40 per video. Pack credits never expire. Compare packs before buying more credits.

Photo tips for a better Turn The Lights Off video

A good input makes the subject easier to read. Open the photo at its original size and check the important details before uploading. A bright, sharp photo is more useful than a heavily edited one. Match the crop to the effect: a face-focused scene and a routine with full-body steps need different framing.

  • Face the camera and keep your face clear.
  • Show your head and shoulders.
  • Use bright, even light, even though the scene is dark.
  • Keep only one person in the frame.
  • Take off sunglasses so that your eyes are visible.

What can go wrong with a Turn The Lights Off AI video

The photo is too dark

The model creates the club lighting itself. A dark input hides the face details it needs. Use a bright photo with an even light on your face.

Other people appear in the club

We ask the AI to show only you, and in our samples no other person appears. The AI can still make mistakes. Check the video before you share it.

Sunglasses hide the eyes

The scene needs you to close your eyes. Sunglasses in the picture hide your eyes. Use a photo with your face and eyes visible.

A generation that fails returns its credits automatically. If a delivered video has distorted details, email support@effectfarm.com with its link for review.

Turn The Lights Off AI video ideas

Use these as starting points for your photo and for the finished clip. They are ways to use the effect, not extra controls. The template sets the movement.

A quiet end-of-day reaction

Use the closed eyes and slow sway as a relaxed reaction after a long day. Begin with a well-lit photo even though the finished scene is dark. The model supplies the club lighting; a dark input can hide the face details it needs.

A personal party moment

Make a short party-themed clip focused on yourself. The effect asks for one person and lifts the hands behind the head during the sway. You do not need a crowd or a club background in the original photo to get this scene.

A wide mood clip

Choose this scene for a wide composition and restrained movement. Preview it from beginning to end to see the timing of the hands and shoulders. Check your result for unexpected details before sharing; the model can differ from both the photo and the sample.

A seasonal costume entrance

For a more theatrical night scene, try the Halloween costume walk. It changes both the camera movement and the setting, and the model chooses a costume. Compare the sample and the upload guidance before deciding whether a portrait or a fuller photo suits your next result.
