AI Melt video effect: how to make it
The AI melt effect makes an object slowly melt into a glossy puddle. In KreatorFlow you use a photo of the object as the first frame in the video studio, describe how and where it melts (top first, into a puddle), and generate a 5-second clip.

How to make the AI Melt effect in KreatorFlow
Built on BytePlus, a ByteDance company. The effect renders on Seedance 2.5 through BytePlus.
- 1
Open the video studio and add your photo
Pick Seedance 2.5 (Seedance 2.0 works too), set 5 seconds and add your photo as the first frame. A first-frame clip keeps the photo's own shape, so crop the photo to 9:16 first for a vertical clip.

Describe the effect
Say what starts the melt (warm light), which part goes first, and what is left at the end. Smooth liquid physics and a static camera help. Start from the example prompt below and change the details.

Generate and download
A 5-second clip on Seedance 2.5 costs 24 credits at 720p and 50 at 1080p. Leave audio off if you will add music when you post. The price is shown before you generate, and failed generations give the credits back.
Example prompt
Copy it, or open the studio with it filled in, then change the subject and setting.
AI Melt prompt
Vertical 9:16 clip, 5 seconds. A shiny chocolate bunny figure stands centred on a marble kitchen counter. Warm light hits it and it slowly melts, its ears drooping first, then the whole body sliding down into a glossy puddle of chocolate. Macro lens, warm golden light, smooth liquid physics, satisfying, static camera.

Tips for a better result
- Best on objects, food and stylised characters.
- Name the material (chocolate, wax, ice cream) so the melt looks right.
- A static camera keeps the focus on the melt.

Can I use my own photo for the AI Melt effect?
Yes. Any photo of an object, toy, food or product works. Avoid logos and brand names on the object, and keep real people out of the effect.
Can I melt a person with this effect?
Keep the melt effect to objects, food and stylised characters. A melting person reads as horror and can be refused; for a person, try the calm dissolve into particles effect instead.
