AI Lidar Scan video effect: how to make it
The lidar scan transition sweeps a laser line across the frame, turning the person and the scene into a glowing point cloud, then reveals a new look. In KreatorFlow you add a reference photo or describe an AI-generated person, describe the scan and what is revealed after, and generate a 5-second clip on Seedance 2.5.

Vertical 9:16 clip, 5 seconds. An AI-generated young woman in a white jacket stands centred in a neon city alley at night. A green laser scan line sweeps across the frame, turning her and the alley into a glowing point-cloud of tiny dots, then sweeps back to reveal her in a futuristic silver outfit. Dark, neon, sci-fi, static camera.
