What is the 360 microwave effect?

It is an AI video effect that turns one portrait into a short clip with a camera move around the person, creating a 360-style view.

Why is it called the microwave effect?

The name describes the popular rotating visual effect. The person appears through multiple angles as the camera moves around them.

Do I need photos from several angles?

No. Upload one source image. The tool generates the additional views needed for the orbit-style motion.

What images work best for a 360 microwave effect video?

Use a sharp portrait with one centered person, a clear outline, even lighting, and enough empty space around the edges.

Can I use the effect for avatars or character videos?

Yes. It can create quick avatar, fashion, character, and social clips, but you should review faces, hands, and clothing details before publishing.

Does the 360 microwave effect use credits?

Yes. The current credit estimate appears on the Create video button before you generate.

Show one person from every side

The 360 microwave effect works best when the person has a clear outline and enough room to rotate inside the frame.

Portraits with a readable silhouette

A centered person with a clear pose gives the camera move enough room to reveal the hairstyle, clothing, and full outline.

Fashion and costume turnarounds

Use the effect to reveal layered outfits, long hair, and costume details that are hidden in the starting portrait.

Creator looks and character concepts

Turn a styled portrait, avatar, or character design into a short rotating clip while keeping the person at the center of the frame.

Choose a portrait that can turn cleanly

A simple portrait gives the effect more visual information to work with and makes the orbit easier to follow.

Keep one subject in focus

Busy group scenes make it harder to tell who should rotate. Use a frame with one obvious person.

Leave space around the edges

A little breathing room helps the generated camera move without crowding or cropping the person.

Use a sharp, well-lit image

Clear contours and visible surface details give the effect a stronger starting point for unseen angles.

Avoid hidden or tangled shapes

Simple poses and visible clothing edges are more likely to stay consistent as the view moves around the person.
