About AI age progression video on Cicadas

An AI age progression video shows one person growing old in a single take: the hair turns grey and then white and the lines deepen while the face stays the same. Cicadas makes it from one clear photo of you with MiniMax H3 Max: vertical, 5, 10 or 15 seconds. The model draws a new portrait of you from the photo and ages it. It is a drawing, not a forecast and not a forensic tool. A 5-second clip is 63 credits. The page ages adults only: it makes nobody younger and takes no photos of children.

One portrait, growing old in five seconds.

MiniMax H3 Max, 5 seconds with sound, vertical, from one photo of a woman; back in 42 seconds. She faces the camera against a plain backdrop while her dark curls turn grey and then white and lines deepen around her eyes and mouth; by the end she looks about eighty. The yellow jumper, the pose and the framing do not change. Most of the change happens within about one second in the middle. The track is close to silent.

By the window, the seasons and the years go by.

MiniMax H3 Max, 5 seconds with sound, vertical, from one photo of a man; back in 29 seconds. He sits in an armchair by a window with a cup in his hands; the garden outside turns from green to autumn yellow to snow while his hair and beard go grey and then white, in one continuous shot with a still camera. His jacket and the chair stay the same; houses appear in the winter view that were not there in spring. The sound is a ticking clock.

Why use Cicadas for AI age progression video

Watch yourself age in one take

In our portrait clip the woman from the photo goes from dark curls to grey and then white, and fine lines deepen around her eyes and mouth until she looks about eighty. Her face shape, jumper and pose stay the same and the camera does not move. Most of the change happens within about one second in the middle of the clip.

Two scenes: a portrait, or a life by the window

The portrait is a head-and-shoulders shot against a plain backdrop. By the window, you sit in an armchair with a cup while the garden outside turns from spring to autumn to snow as you age. Both recorded clips are one continuous shot; the portrait is close to silent and the window scene has a ticking clock.

AI age progression video prompt ideas

Copy one into the prompt box above and adapt it to your shot. Or write your own shot by shot in the prompt generator.

  • “A head-and-shoulders portrait against a plain warm-grey studio backdrop, vertical. The adult from Image 1 faces the camera with a gentle smile and slowly grows old over the clip: the hair turns grey and then white, fine lines deepen around the eyes and mouth, and by the end they look about eighty. The same person throughout: the same face shape, eyes, clothes and pose. The background does not change. The camera stays still, one continuous shot, no cuts. Sound: quiet room tone, no music, no voices. No text.”

  • “A medium portrait beside a window, vertical. The adult from Image 1 sits in an armchair by a window with a cup in their hands and slowly grows old over the clip, while the garden outside turns from spring green to autumn gold to winter white: the hair turns grey and then white, lines deepen, and by the end they look about eighty and smile at the camera. The same person, chair and room throughout. The camera stays still, one continuous shot, no cuts. Sound: quiet room tone and a clock ticking, no music, no voices. No text.”

AI age progression video FAQ

Tested on Cicadas · reviewed 2026-10-12

Recorded on 2026-10-12 with MiniMax H3 Max reference-to-video through fal.ai, each request sent once with the exact scene prompt of this page: 5 seconds, 9:16, 480P with sound, each from one photo. The portrait (a woman) came back in 42 seconds and the window scene (a man) in 29 seconds, each as one continuous shot with a still camera. Portrait: dark curls turn grey and then white, mostly between about 1.5 and 2.7 seconds, and lines deepen until the end; the jumper, pose and backdrop do not change. Window: the garden goes from green to yellow to snow while the man's hair and beard turn grey and then white; houses appear in the winter view that were not there in spring. Sound (two automated listeners): the portrait is close to silent with a brief whoosh, the window scene is a ticking clock, and neither has voices or music. The photos are AI-made and fictional. Real photos, 10 and 15 seconds and 768P were not run. An earlier first-frame test of the same idea aged a man in place while the camera pushed in against the prompt; it is not shown here.
