It opens like a selfie: you smile into the camera and wave hello. Then the camera flies backward and up: the plaza below you, the city, the coastline, through the clouds, until the whole Earth hangs in space. Upload one photo, press one button, post the clip.
Earth Zoom Out AI is the viral video effect where a person waves hello into a close selfie camera, then the camera pulls back and up in one continuous move until the whole planet is in frame.
On Rap Cut you upload one photo (or one each for two people), keep Earth Zoom Out selected in the Effects tab and press Make the effect. About 2 to 5 minutes later you download a 5 to 15-second MP4 with its own cinematic music and no watermark. A 5-second clip costs 3 credits at 480p or 5 credits at 720p.
A selfie, a wave hello, and a camera that does not stop until it reaches orbit.
It opens on something people always look at, a face, and ends on something nobody expects from a selfie: the whole planet.
That jump in scale is a two-second plot twist, and it is why viewers watch to the last frame and replay it. You get a tiny story with a reveal, not a filter, and the person in the middle of the universe is you.
Cheap versions stack still images and cross-fade between them.
Here a video model generates the whole flight as one shot: you wave hello in a close selfie, the camera pulls back and up until you are a dot on a sunny plaza, the city spreads out, the coastline appears, the camera breaks through the clouds and the curve of the Earth fills the frame. Light, clouds and perspective change on the way up, which is what makes it feel like a real drone-to-satellite shot.
The opening close-up is the part your friends will judge, so the model keeps the face, hair, skin tone, age and clothes from your photo and places you at normal human size on a sunny seaside plaza.
The background of your photo is ignored, so a messy bedroom selfie works fine. Pets stay pets: a dog or cat staring into the camera as it lifts off is one of the best versions of this effect.
Earth Zoom Out takes one or two photos.
With two, you stand side by side, wave hello into the camera together and keep looking up at it as it leaves you behind on the way to orbit. The two photos can be from different days and places: a selfie from you and one from a friend in another country end up on the same plaza.
Each clip comes with its own generated soundtrack: cinematic music that builds as the camera climbs and a long whoosh as it leaves the sky.
It is made for your video, so there is no copyrighted track inside the file to get it muted. If you want the trending sound, add it from the TikTok or Instagram library when you post and turn the original volume down.
Every render runs on a paid video model, so there is no free tier, but the price is on the button before you pay.
A 5-second 720p clip is 5 credits, and the smallest pack is 10 credits for $9.99: two clips, no subscription, and the credits never expire. Plans bring the price per clip down if you make them often, and you can cancel future renewals anytime.

A selfie or portrait with your face well lit is all it needs. Add a second photo if you want two people waving into the camera together.
This page opens the generator on the Effects tab with Earth Zoom Out already selected. Choose 9:16 for TikTok and Reels, then a length from 5 to 15 seconds.
Press Make the effect. Your clip waits in My videos when it is done, so you can close the tab. Download the MP4 and post it with the AI-generated label on.
It is the viral video effect where a person waves hello into a close selfie camera, then the camera pulls back and up in one continuous move, past the plaza, the city and the coastline, until the whole planet Earth floats in space. Here it is made from a single photo of you.
Open this page, add one clear photo in the generator (or two for two people), keep Earth Zoom Out selected in the Effects tab and press Make the effect. The MP4 is usually ready in 2 to 5 minutes.
Not here. Every clip is rendered on a paid video model, so it costs credits from the first one. The cheapest clip is 3 credits (5 seconds, 480p), the smallest pack is 10 credits for $9.99, and a failed render always gives its credits back.
On the Standard model: 5 seconds is 3 credits at 480p or 5 at 720p, 10 seconds is 9 credits at 720p and 15 seconds is 13 credits at 720p. Sharper models cost more, and the button shows the exact price before you pay.
No. The camera move, the scene and the music are already set up, so you do not write a prompt or edit anything. It all runs in your phone or desktop browser: upload, render, download.
The opening close-up keeps your face, hair, skin tone, age and clothes from the photo. Clear, front-facing photos with even light work best; sunglasses, masks and beauty filters make the likeness weaker.
Yes. Add a second photo and both people stand side by side and wave into the camera together. Pets work too and stay animals: a dog or cat looking into the camera as it flies away is a favourite.
Not yet. The model starts on a sunny seaside plaza and flies out to the planet; it does not use a map of your real address. If you need the exact view of your street, that is a job for a map tool like Google Earth Studio, not a photo effect.
You can pick 5, 8, 10, 12 or 15 seconds, in vertical 9:16, square 1:1 or landscape 16:9. Five seconds is enough for the full flight; longer clips spend more time on the climb.
Yes. Each clip gets its own generated soundtrack, epic music building up and a whoosh as the camera leaves the sky. It is not a copyrighted song, so the video is not muted for music.
Yes. The download has no watermark. Choose 9:16 for vertical feeds and turn on the platform’s AI-generated label when you post.
If a clip fails, times out or is blocked by a safety check, its credits go back to your balance automatically. You can then try again with a clearer photo.
It is used only to render your clip and is deleted within 2 days. The finished video stays private in My videos for 7 days, so download the ones you want to keep.
Compare five things: price per clip, whether you need a subscription or an app, whether the download is watermarked, whether you have to write a prompt, and what happens to your credits if a render fails. Rap Cut is pay-per-clip from 3 credits, browser-only, prompt-free, watermark-free and refunds failed renders.
One photo is enough. The clip is ready before you finish choosing a caption.
