AI Squish video effect: how to make it
The AI squish effect shows hands squashing an object like soft jelly before it springs back into shape. In KreatorFlow you use a photo of any object as the first frame in the video studio, describe the hands squishing it and the bounce back, and generate a 5-second clip.

How to make the AI Squish 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
Describe where the hands come from, how the object squashes (flat, bulging between the fingers) and how it recovers (springs back, wobbles). Soft-body physics is a useful phrase. 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 Squish prompt
Vertical 9:16 clip, 5 seconds. A glossy red toy car with no logos sits centred on a white table. Two hands enter from the sides and squish it like soft jelly; it squashes flat, bulges between the fingers, then springs back to its shape and wobbles. Macro product shot, bright clean studio light, satisfying, playful, realistic soft-body physics.

Tips for a better result
- Objects work best: toys, fruit, cakes, products.
- With a person, use yourself or a stylised character.
- A plain background keeps the squish easy to read.
