Snatched — carried off mid-scene.
Snatched sends an unexpected visitor into a calm scene to grab the subject. The sample is a reel of three runs. It opens on a fluffy white cat lying on a dark grey sofa in a bright living room. Two silver figures with large heads and dark eyes then appear on a glowing disc, scoop up the cat and float upward.
The sample
What happens in the Snatched sample.
In the first run, the white cat rests on the sofa. Then two silver figures kneel on a glowing orange disc, hold the cat between them, and the disc lifts up above the sofa. The second run opens on a woman in a beige knit top and a man in a black jacket, smiling over coffee and pastries at a round café table. A large gorilla leans in behind them and pulls the man out of his seat. The last frame starts a third run, a man in a suit typing at a desk, and the clip ends before anything happens to him.
Within each run, the room and the people or pets keep their look. What changes is who arrives and who is taken. In the living room the camera pulls back to show the disc rising, while in the café it stays at table height. Each run begins with a calm, everyday scene with some space around the subject, so a relaxed photo at home, at a table or at a desk matches how the sample starts.

Your photo
Photos that suit it.
One-tap effects have one input. The photo you pick is your creative control.
Pick an everyday scene
Runs in the sample open on a sofa, a café table and an office desk. A relaxed, ordinary setting matches those openings.
Leave room around them
The visitors come in beside and behind the subject, so some open space around the person or pet gives the grab room.
Pets and people both appear
A cat on its own and a couple at a table both feature, so either a pet or a person can be the one taken.

What grabs the subject in the Snatched effect?
It differs between runs in the sample. In one, two silver figures with large heads arrive on a glowing disc and lift a white cat off a sofa. In another, a gorilla leans over a café table and pulls a man from his chair. A third run is cut off after its first frame.
How much does Snatched cost?
5–10 credits per run: 5 credits (~$2.00) at the default length and resolution, more for a longer or sharper clip (5 credits at 5s · 10 credits at 10s). New verified accounts receive 3 welcome credits once. The welcome bonus contributes toward the 5-credit first run; you need 2 more credits from a plan or credit pack.
How long is a Snatched video?
