Leggy Run — your mug grows legs and runs off.
Leggy Run makes an everyday object sprout thin black legs and dash away. The sample opens on a round yellow mug with brown speckles, sitting on a dark grey surface. It stays still for a moment, then rises on two long black legs, loses its handle and runs off into the distance.
The sample
What happens in the Leggy Run sample.
The first two frames show the same still shot: a rounded yellow ceramic mug with brown speckles, a dark brown rim and a handle on the right. Next the mug lifts up on two long, thin black legs with small yellow feet. By the following frame the handle has gone and a thin black arm sticks out to the side. The mug then breaks into a run, its legs blurred with motion. In the last two frames it is far off to the right, small against a pale grey floor.
The mug keeps its yellow glaze, brown speckles and dark rim through most of the clip, though the surface looks smoother once it starts to run. The handle does not last: thin black arms take its place. The background softens into a plain grey space, and the camera stays put as the mug leaves. With a lone object shown side-on and clear space around it in the opening shot, a similar photo is a sensible pick.

Your photo
Photos that suit it.
One-tap effects have one input. The photo you pick is your creative control.
One object, side-on
The sample starts from a single mug seen from the side, so one clear object is the safe choice.
Leave space around it
The mug has room on every side and runs off into the open. A photo with space around the object matches that.
Plain background
The sample uses a plain, dark grey backdrop that softens as the mug runs. A simple background like this is the nearest match.

Leggy Run, answered.
What does the Leggy Run effect do?
A speckled yellow mug on a grey table grows long, thin black legs, loses its handle and runs away into the distance until it is small at the edge of the frame.
Can Leggy Run be used on objects, not just people?
The sample uses an object. It opens on a yellow speckled mug sitting still on a grey surface. The mug then grows two long, thin black legs, swaps its handle for thin black arms and runs away until it is small at the edge of the frame. No person appears in the sample. One photo is all it takes.
How much does Leggy Run cost?
2–8 credits per run: 2 credits (~$0.80) at the default length and resolution, more for a longer or sharper clip (2 credits at 5s 720p · 4 credits at 8s 720p · 4 credits at 5s 1080p · 8 credits at 8s 1080p). New verified accounts receive 3 welcome credits once. The welcome bonus covers one supported first run costing 2 credits.
How long is a Leggy Run video?
5s or 8s at 720p or 1080p. It follows the shape of your photo. Nothing you export is watermarked, on any plan.
Do I need to write a prompt?
No. Leggy Run is a template on the PixVerse engine. King AI sends the effect's name and your photo; there is no text prompt to write.
