What is the AI airport star arrival trend?
Paparazzi-style airport arrivals are a staple of celebrity coverage: a star walks out of the gate in sunglasses while photographers crowd the barrier. The AI version gives anyone, or any pet, the same entrance from a single photo.
How it works
Add your photo
You: full body or waist up, face clear.
Pick a style
Choose star or my pet. A short direction is optional.
Get your take
A 8-second vertical MP4 arrives in 2–4 minutes, ready for TikTok, Reels and Shorts.
What happens in the 8 seconds
- 0–2s
You walk out of the arrivals hall pulling a carry-on, two security staff a step behind.
- 2–5s
Camera flashes pop and the crowd behind the barriers cheers and films.
- 5–8s
You touch your sunglasses, smile and wave, and keep walking toward the camera.
Ideas for your take
- Announcing a trip home or a big return
- A birthday post for a friend who deserves the fuss
- Your pet's grand arrival after a trip
- A meme for the group chat after landing
What it costs
One take uses 40 credits. Your first take on MagicTakes is free. Credits come in one-time packs, never expire, and a take that fails gives its credits back.

|---|---|---|
| Starter · $9.99 | 2 | $4.00 |
| Creator · $29 | 8 | $3.52 |
| Pro · $79 | 25 | $3.16 |
If a take doesn't look right
- Your face changes while you walk
- Use a sharper photo with your face front-facing and well lit.
- Your face is hard to see behind the sunglasses
- Use a sharp, well-lit photo without sunglasses; your face shape, hair and smile carry the likeness. Make another take if it still looks off.
- Your legs or feet look odd
- Use a photo where your whole body is in view, standing rather than sitting.
- The pet looks too small
- Choose a photo where your pet fills most of the frame, with its whole head visible.
Questions about Airport Star Arrival
What photo works best?
One person, full body or waist up, face clear and well lit. Skip photos where you're already wearing sunglasses so your face stays recognisable.
Does it put me next to a real celebrity?
No. The crowd and the security staff are all made up, and there are no real people, logos or brands in the scene.
Can my pet be the star?
Yes. Pick the My pet version and upload a clear photo of your dog or cat. It trots out on a leash in tiny sunglasses.
How long does it take?
Usually 2 to 4 minutes. You can leave the page open or come back to your library later; the take is saved there when it's ready.
How much does it cost?
One take costs 40 credits for an 8-second clip. If a take fails, the credits go back to your balance automatically.
What happens to my photos?
Your photos are only used to make your take and are deleted after 30 days. Your takes are private to your account unless you share them.
Can I post it on TikTok or Reels?
Yes. Every take is a vertical 9:16 video at 720p, ready to post. It has no sound, so add a track in the app when you post.
Whose photos can I use?
Only photos of adults who agreed to it, including yourself. Photos of children can't be used. Pet photos are fine for the pet version.
