Crane Down Sky Reveal AI Video Effect

What the Crane Down Sky Reveal template does
The camera starts roughly 50 metres up, tilted down, and lowers in a continuous crane move while the tilt levels out to nearly horizontal. The environment reads at several scales on the way: wide aerial context, then mid-scale architecture or landscape, then close ground detail.
Your subject appears midway, already in the middle of an action you choose, and the shot ends on a medium framing of them. It is an 8-second establishing shot that also introduces a character.
Example prompt: Descend through morning mist over a pine forest to a hiker lighting a camp stove.
Great for
- Establishing shots for travel, real estate and outdoor brands

- Event and venue reveals
Questions
How many credits does the Crane Down Sky Reveal template cost?
66 credits for the default 8-second 1080p render, or 45 credits at 720p. That includes the 2-credit template fee. The studio shows the exact cost before you generate, and higher resolutions cost more.
Do I need to upload a photo?
No. You can describe the subject in words. If you want a specific person, add a photo or one of your saved characters as a reference in the studio.
Which AI model makes the Crane Down Sky Reveal video?
Seedance 2.0. While the template is applied it keeps the model, source mode, audio setting and timing matched so the shot renders as designed. You can still change quality and aspect ratio (the default is 16:9). Clips include generated audio by default.
Do I need a subscription?
Templates run on credits, so you can use them with a monthly plan or with a one-off credit pack. On the Creator plan video renders at up to 720p; Pro, Max and Business can also render 1080p and 4K.
