Questions

Balloon Mode, answered

What does Balloon Mode make?
You inflate like a party balloon, clothes stretched tight and shiny, and float up off the ground.
What photo works best?
A photo of you, full length, head to shoes, clearly lit, of one adult, a pet or a Character Studio character.
How does it work?
Upload a photo of you, full length, head to shoes. You puff up like a balloon and lift off. Get a 1080p clip with sound, ready to post, in vertical or wide.
How much does it cost?
From $0.35 a second, and you see the exact price before you press go. A run that fails costs nothing, there is no subscription, and your first top-up has no card fee.
Can I use the result commercially?
Yes. You own what you make on Leap, so you can use it commercially, and we never train AI on it. The people and brands shown in a result can still have rights in it; the Terms say more.
Can I run it from code?
Yes. Developers run it as leap/effect-balloon-mode through the Leap API, at the same price, with the same choices.

Rather write the prompt yourself? Try Wan 2.6, Kling O3 Pro or Grok Imagine Video.
