How to put yourself in any scene
Put yourself in a scene works from photographs and a sentence: several pictures of you go in as identity references, you describe the shot you want in plain words, and the model builds it with you inside. There is no source video and nothing to copy — this is the one tool where the scene is yours to invent.

Three fields, and the middle one is the work
- 1
Open Studio and pick Put yourself in a scene
The tool is described as your photos plus a described scene. Opening it shows the form and names the reference-to-video model behind it.
studio/me-in-scene
- 2
Upload references under Your photos
The first field is labelled Your photos and takes between one and nine. More angles and more lighting conditions give the model more to hold on to; nine near-identical selfies from the same afternoon are worth about as much as one. The form caps the count at what the model actually accepts.

Describe the shot under The scene
The second field is labelled The scene, takes at least 3 and up to 800 characters, and its placeholder shows the register: "Walking through a neon-lit Tokyo street at night, handheld camera following from the front". Name the action, the setting and the camera. Adjectives about mood are the least useful thing you can spend those characters on.

Set the length and press Generate
The duration slider is bounded by the model's own limits. The form prints the exact credit cost of the run next to the Generate button, and re-prints it whenever you change the length. Nothing is charged before you press it.

Collect the clip from your Library
The finished vertical MP4 lands in your Library. Runs are processed in the background, so you can close the tab — the finished file turns up in your Library. We do not quote a fixed wall-clock time: it moves with the length of the run and with how busy the queue is.

Which reference-to-video model to use
HappyHorse 1.1 Reference to Video
Product defaultThe default, and the catalogue's recommended pick for this job. It is what the tool runs on and what the nine-photo cap is sized around.
The trade-off: Identity-first models spend their capacity on keeping you recognisable, which is not the same as spending it on the scenery behind you.
Specs and credit price →Kling O3 Pro Reference to Video
From the model specThe scene itself is the point — a location, a camera move, a piece of staging you want rendered convincingly around you.
The trade-off: A different price and a different reference-image ceiling, both printed on its catalogue page.
Specs and credit price →MiniMax H3 Reference to Video
From the model specA third family to try when a scene comes back nearly right and you want a different set of failure modes on the same prompt.
The trade-off: Different failure modes are not fewer failure modes — check its own page for what it accepts before you re-run.
Specs and credit price →These picks come from our own side-by-side runs and from what the tools actually default to. The specs and credit prices live on each model's own page and are generated from the catalogue, so they cannot drift out of date here. We do not quote anyone else's review, benchmark or price.

What this does not do
- It does not copy a video. There is no source clip here — if you want an existing Reel's pacing, that is the autopilot.
- It does not put a real, identifiable other person into your scene. Upload your own likeness, not someone else's.
- It does not read a long prompt as a shot list. One scene, one shot; 800 characters is plenty and usually too many.
- It does not post anywhere. We never ask for your Instagram, TikTok or YouTube password, never read your DMs and never publish anything for you. You download the file and post it yourself.
