The AI analyzes the facial features of a childhood photo (First Frame) and a grown-up photo (Last Frame) and fills in the gaps between them. The result is a fluid, dream-like video that looks like you are physically aging in seconds. It’s emotional, visually satisfying, and perfect for sharing on social media.
