Caught at the Window Generator: Put Yourself in the Window

How the generator works, what it costs, what photo to use, and what arrives when the render finishes.

One photo in, one window video out

The Caught at the Window generator turns a single photo into the trend's signature scene. There is no timeline to edit and no prompt to engineer. The generator pairs your photo with a fixed motion reference (the window scene) and a fixed scene prompt, then renders the result as a 12-second, 720p, vertical 9:16 video.

The output follows the format beat for beat: the camera drifts toward the one lit window of a dark building, your person sits at the table mid-bite with a burger in both hands, they spot the camera and freeze, then pull the curtain shut. If you want to study the scene before generating, the template page walks through every beat.

How to generate

  1. Create an account and sign in. Generation is tied to your credit balance, so an account keeps your videos and credits in one place.
  2. Upload one photo of a single adult. Front-facing, well lit, face unobstructed. The best photo guide shows what works and what fails.
  3. Select Generate. The render runs 8 credits and usually finishes within a few minutes, depending on provider load.
  4. Download and post. The finished video lands in your library. Add the trend sound in TikTok or CapCut if you want the full effect; the TikTok sharing guide covers the posting details.

What the generator decides for you

Everything except the person. The building, the window light, the table with the takeaway bag and burger box, the camera move and the curtain ending are all part of the preset. That constraint is the point: the trend reads instantly because every version shares the same staging, and the only surprise is who gets caught.

Consent is the one rule with no flexibility. Upload your own photo, or an adult's photo with their permission. Celebrity likenesses and children's photos are not accepted; the FAQ and terms explain the boundaries.

Credits, plainly

One video is 8 credits. Packs are one-time purchases: $5.99 for 8 credits (one video), $23.99 for 32 (four videos), and $59.99 for 88 (eleven videos). There is no subscription, and unused credits never expire. The credits and pricing explainer breaks down the math, including the automatic refund on failed renders.

Frequently asked questions

How does the Caught at the Window generator work?

You upload one clear photo of an adult. The generator combines it with a fixed window-scene motion reference and a fixed prompt, and renders a 12-second vertical video: push-in, mid-bite, stare, curtain close.

Do I need to write a prompt?

No. The scene prompt is fixed server-side so the trend's beats stay intact. Your only input is the photo.

How much does one video cost?

Each generation costs 8 credits. The smallest pack is $5.99 for 8 credits, which is exactly one video. Credits are one-time purchases and do not expire.

What if my generation fails?

Failed generations are refunded automatically: the 8 credits return to your balance without you needing to contact support.
