The hug that travels
Of all the people effects, AI Hug is the one that means something: two photos become a warm embrace across any distance — or any decade. Long-distance couples, deployed parents, grandparents who exist now only in old photographs. The preset is tuned for gentle motion and warm light; the result is less ‘AI video’ and more ‘moment you can finally have’.
Old photos work better than you’d think
The era gap — a 1970s scan plus a 2026 selfie — is where this effect shines. Sharp scans matter more than resolution; if the face reads, the hug reads. Draft on Hailuo 02 to find the right framing, then finish on Kling 2.5 for the keeper. The prompt is fully visible if you want to tune the mood — warmer, slower, rainier — and every variation is saved with its settings.
