Why isn't the rider flying in my broom video?

Updated:

Short answer

The rider should glide beside the car for most of the clip and leave only at the end. If the flight seems feeble, try a sharper upper-body photo on the 5-second preview, double-check the ending you chose and run again. Runs differ.

Still from a generated clip: a curly-haired woman in a red top perched on a broom outside a car's open window, tidy houses behind her

How the seconds are spent

The bulk of the video is the ride alongside the car and the look back at the lens. The exit gets only the final couple of seconds, so a short clip can be over almost as soon as it starts. Think of it as a long run-up and a quick finish.

Things to try

  • Pick fly away when you want the rider gone from the frame.
  • Use a photo that shows the torso, so the seated pose has something to build on.
  • Check the preview before you commit 1 credit.

Questions people ask

Why does the exit happen so late?

The template saves it for the closing seconds, so the rider stays level with the window for most of the clip.

Can the flight run longer?

No, the timing is fixed. There's no prompt box to change it. The ending always takes the last couple of seconds.

Does a rider who stays put mean the render failed?

No. Failures are renders that never finish, and their credits go back automatically.
