Earth Zoom Out
Starts on your subject and pulls back continuously — street, city, planet — ending on a view of Earth from space.

What you need
- One photo of a place or person
- A text-to-video or image-to-video tool
Tools that can do this
- Text-to-video models with long single-shot support
- An editor to stitch the zoom if one generation can't cover the full pull-back
How to recreate it
- 1
Start from a recognizable anchor
The first frame should be clearly located — a landmark or distinct street reads better than a generic room.
- 2
Prompt one continuous pull-back
Describe the layers the camera passes: rooftop, skyline, clouds, curvature of the Earth. One motion, no cuts.
- 3
Stitch in segments if needed
If one generation tops out mid-zoom, generate the next segment starting from the last frame and hide the seam with the ongoing motion.
Copyable prompt
Continuous zoom out from this photo: pull back through the roof, above the city skyline, through the clouds, revealing the curvature of the Earth, ending on a full planet view. Single uninterrupted shot, no cuts, steady acceleration.
Limitations & known issues
- Geography won't match reality — the model invents plausible layers, not your actual street.
- The final Earth frame is generated, not satellite imagery.
