Your face in the first frame
The close-up comes from your photo, not a stock face.

The short answer
Hotel Lobby Video (hotellobbyvideo.net) makes an Earth Zoom Out clip from one photo, pulling back from a face to the whole planet. A 5-second effect at 720p costs 4 credits; packs start at 10 credits for $9.99. There is no subscription. This one has no free preview: the free 2-second preview is only for the default Hotel Lobby video and the Bulin 47 effect. The provider quotes up to about 5 minutes for a Seedance render.

The effect
What the Earth zoom out effect does
It is a single camera move. The first frame is a close-up of you facing the camera; then the view pulls back over the rooftops and through the clouds until the planet fills the frame, city lights glowing on its night side.
By hand, this takes aerial footage, satellite imagery and an editor. Here a Seedance video model renders the whole move from your photo. It works solo or with two people, and the clip carries ambient sound, no music.
Three steps
How to make an Earth zoom out video
01Add a front-facing photo
The move starts on your face, so pick a sharp, well-lit shot.
02Keep the effect selected
The generator starts on Seedance 2.0 Mini, 720p, 5 seconds and 9:16. Change any of them; the price updates.
03Create and post
The provider quotes up to about 5 minutes. Download the MP4 or find it in My videos.
What you get
A zoom-out that starts with you
One continuous pull-back
The model is asked for one smooth move, not a series of cuts.
Solo or with a friend
One photo of both of you, or one photo each.
Priced before you create
4 credits for 5 seconds at 720p. Longer and sharper versions cost more, and failed renders are refunded.
Tips for a better zoom-out
- Face the camera and fill the frame: the first second is all face.
- Use even light. Hard shadows carry into the close-up.
- Reverse it for a zoom-in. In CapCut or any editor, the reversed clip drops from orbit to your face, a clean way into your real footage.
Where the effect fits
- The last shot of a trip recap.
- A move to a new city: pull back from your face, then cut to the skyline.
- A birthday or graduation post that goes from one person to the whole world.
