Balloon Flyaway — puff up and float off.
Balloon Flyaway inflates the subject like a balloon and lets it drift away. The sample opens on a white duck with an orange bill and orange feet, standing on a brown sofa arm in front of a pale wall. Its body swells into a round ball, and then it lifts off.
The sample
What happens in the Balloon Flyaway sample.
The sample opens on a white duck with an orange bill and webbed orange feet, standing on the arm of a brown sofa. Behind it are pale beige walls and a dark hallway. Its body quickly puffs out into a large round white ball, with the head and feet still showing. The duck lifts off the sofa with its wings held out and its feet dangling. It drifts sideways and upward, turns away from the camera, and floats down the hallway until it is a small white dot near the ceiling.
The duck keeps its white feathers, orange bill and orange feet as it swells, so it still reads as the same animal. The room stays the same, and the camera tilts to follow as the duck rises and moves off. No separate balloons appear in the sample; the subject itself becomes the balloon. A photo with open space above and behind the subject gives it somewhere to drift, as the hallway does here.

Your photo
Photos that suit it.
One-tap effects have one input. The photo you pick is your creative control.
Animals fit the sample
The sample uses a white duck, so an animal photo matches what the clip shows.
Show the whole body
The duck is framed from feet to head at the start, and its feet stay visible as it floats. A full-body shot follows that framing.
Leave room above
The duck rises and drifts off into the distance, so a photo with open space above and behind the subject leaves it somewhere to go.

Balloon Flyaway, answered.
What does the Balloon Flyaway effect do?
A white duck standing on a sofa arm puffs up into a round balloon shape, lifts off with its feet dangling, and floats away down a hallway until it is a small dot.
Does Balloon Flyaway add balloons or inflate the subject?
In the sample, the subject itself inflates. The white duck's body swells into a large round ball while its head, bill and feet still show. It then lifts off the sofa and floats down the hallway until it is a small dot near the ceiling. No separate balloons appear at any point. To use it, you add one picture.
