AI image to video guide
The short answer
To make an AI hug video, upload one photo with both people in it, standing or sitting close, and describe the hug: who reaches out first, how tight it is and how the camera moves. MiniMax H3 Max made the sample on this page and starts at 70 credits (about $1.75) a clip with sound; MiniMax H3 Max Turbo is the cheapest test at 40 credits (about $1.00). To hug your younger self or someone from another photo, put both photos side by side in one image first.

How to do it, step by step
Choose a photo of two people
Both people should be fully visible from the chest up and close to each other. A photo where they already touch or stand shoulder to shoulder works best.
Describe the hug
Say who moves first, where the arms go and what stays the same. Add the light and a slow camera move for a cinematic look.
Generate a 5-second clip
Check that hands and faces look right. If arms tangle, ask for a simpler hug or try another model.
Download or make it longer
Save the MP4, or run the same photo and prompt at 10 or 15 seconds once you like the motion.
Prompts you can copy
Swap in your own subject and keep the structure: what moves, how the camera moves, and what stays the same.
Golden-hour couple hug
Gentle natural motion: the couple slowly tightens their hug, she nestles closer into his chest, he rests his cheek lightly against her hair, soft breathing and subtle smile. Warm golden-hour light, slight breeze in hair and sweater fabric, shallow depth of field. Slow cinematic camera push-in, intimate and wholesome, photorealistic.

Hug your younger self
The adult on the left turns to the child on the right, kneels down and gives them a warm, gentle hug. The child smiles and hugs back. Soft daylight, slow camera push-in, both faces stay the same as in the photos.
Put the old and new photo side by side in one image first, at a similar size.
Friends reunion
Two friends see each other, laugh and pull each other into a big, happy hug, rocking slightly side to side. Busy airport in the background, handheld camera feel.
Good for photos of friends standing side by side.
Parent and child
The mother wraps her arms around her daughter from behind and rests her chin on her shoulder. Both smile and close their eyes. Soft window light, fixed camera.
A hug from behind keeps both faces visible.
Pet hug
The girl hugs her golden retriever around the neck. The dog leans in, wags its tail and licks her cheek. Sunny garden, slow camera drift.
Animals look best when their whole head is in the frame.
Anime hug
The two anime characters run toward each other and share a tight, happy hug. Sparkles and soft light around them. Keep the original drawing style.
Keeps drawn characters from turning photorealistic.
Tips for better results
Start close together
The less distance the model has to bridge, the more natural the hug. If two people stand far apart, crop the photo so they are closer in the frame.
Watch the hands
Hands and arms are the hardest part of a hug. Simple hugs, such as arms around the shoulders, go wrong less often than complex ones.
Match photo sizes when combining
For a hug with your younger self or someone from another photo, scale both people to a similar size and similar light before you combine the images.
Be kind with photos of loved ones
Hugs with someone who has passed away can mean a lot. Ask family before sharing, and say the clip was made with AI.
