Popstar AI Video Effect
Headline your own stage: lights, choreography and an original pop track. Upload one photo and WakeStill turns it into a 12-second vertical video with sound.
One video costs 10 credits ($9.90 on its own) and takes about 3–6 minutes.
What happens in the Popstar video
You headline an original music-video performance on a bright concert stage with white, pink and blue spotlight beams, a glowing runway and drifting confetti. With a sparkle your clothes change into a stylish plain stage costume with no logos; you hold a plain microphone with no markings, sing to the camera and dance an original routine. A blurred, unrecognizable crowd cheers far in the background. One energetic performance, family-friendly, no text, no logos, and it does not copy or imitate any real singer, song or stage show.

Best photos for Popstar
- Use a clear, front-facing photo with good light and the whole face visible.
- Add a second photo if you want a friend in the video too.

- The outfit changes on purpose in this effect; the prompt asks the model to keep the face, so check it in the result.
The exact Popstar prompt
Every Popstar video is made with one of these fixed prompts, picked by the photos you upload. Visitors cannot change them; your photos are the only input. With one photo of both people, the two-photo prompt is used with its subject lines rewritten: the person on the left is the first person and the person on the right is the second.
