## What it does

STAR reads the depth of any photo on your phone and turns it into a short cinematic video.

Its AI Director looks at your photo (the depth, the open sky, water, the subject and the light) and proposes complete edits: a camera move, a new sky, moving water, a title behind you or depth particles. One tap applies them, and every tool stays editable.

The 3D, the effects and the editing run on the phone, with no account.

## Who it's for

- People who want to turn still photos into short videos for social posts.
- Creators and small brands who want their logo or handle on every export.

## Key features

- **3D camera:** 11 camera moves, from push in and orbit to vertigo and wiggle 3D. Tilt your phone to look around inside the photo.
- **New skies:** 10 animated skies. The phone finds the open sky by itself, and the rest of the photo is re-lit to match.
- **Animate:** Draw arrows on water, clouds, smoke or hair and they loop smoothly while everything else stays still.
- **Depth effects and focus:** Snow, rain, fireflies or petals that pass behind and in front of people, fog, light leaks, and refocusing after the shot.
- **Titles, frames and looks:** Animated titles in 8 styles, including text behind the person, 9 frames and 24 colour looks.
- **Export:** HD or 4K video, stills, a before and after reveal, carousels, slideshows of up to 20 photos and 34 ready-made templates.
