Why we ask
Putting a real person into a video without their OK can break privacy and image-rights laws, and that responsibility is yours. We keep the time you confirmed with the request.
Real examples
Seedance 2.5
How does an AI drone video work?
An AI drone video starts from a still photo. The model reads the scene, builds the depth it cannot see and moves a virtual camera through it along the path you choose. Here the drone studio opens on Seedance 2.5 at 720p for 8 s, which is 216 credits; you can change the model, length and resolution before you create.
6 flight paths for your AI drone video
Each path fills the prompt with a camera move. Edit the words if you want a different speed, height or ending.
- OrbitCircles the main subject at a steady height. Good for a lighthouse, a statue, a house.
- Pull-back revealStarts close and flies backward and up to show the whole landscape.
- Low flyoverGlides forward over the scene and passes the subject. Good for coasts and fields.
- Rise and look downClimbs straight up while the camera tilts to a top-down view.
- Push-inFlies from far away toward the subject and ends closer.
- FollowTracks a person, car or boat from behind and above as it moves.
Photos that make a good AI drone shot
- Taken outdoors with a clear subject: a building, a beach, a bridge, a mountain road
- Shot from a high point, a balcony or a real drone still, so there is depth to fly through
- Sharp and well lit: the original file works better than a screenshot
- Close-up selfies: there is no landscape for the camera to reveal
- Busy crowds of strangers, whose faces the model has to invent
- Places where filming is restricted, if you plan to present the clip as real footage

AI drone video or a real drone?
| AI drone video | Real drone | |
|---|---|---|
| What you need | One photo | A drone, batteries and a pilot |
| Permits | None, nothing flies | Depends on the country and the place |
| Weather | Any photo, any day | Wind, rain and light matter |
| What it shows | A believable new shot of the place | The place exactly as it is |
| Best use | Social clips, mood films, ideas | Real estate records, inspections, news |
An AI drone shot is generated, not filmed. Label it as AI when it could be taken for real footage.

FAQ
Questions and answers
How do I make a drone video with AI?
Upload one photo of the place, pick a flight path such as orbit or reveal, check the credits on the button and press create. The clip downloads as an MP4.
How much does an AI drone video cost?
A 8 s clip at 720p on Seedance 2.5 is 216 credits, and a 5 s test at 480p is 60. No subscription is needed; packs start at $4.99.
Which model is best for drone shots?
The drone studio opens on Seedance 2.5 because it runs 4 to 30 s. For a 4K shot, switch to Seedance 2.0 and Kling 3.0. For sound such as wind or waves, keep the sound switch on.
Can I use any photo?
Use photos you took or have the right to use. A stock photo or a photo from someone else's account needs their licence or permission.
Is the AI drone video real footage?
No. The model invents what the camera sees beyond your photo, so buildings and roads can shift. Do not use it as proof of what a place looks like.
