Will both of us still look like ourselves?

Yes. The AI is tuned to preserve both faces, hairstyles, skin tones, and body shapes from the source photo. The setting and the proposal-moment pose are restaged — the two people are still you.

Is this a replacement for a real proposal?

No — and we wouldn't recommend it. Most people use this either as a teaser before the real moment, an announcement after, or a fun "if we eloped to Paris" what-if. The video is a stylised version, not a substitute for the actual ask.

How long is the video?

Around 16 seconds — a short hold on the source photo, a 10-second proposal animation, and a hold on the restaged final frame. Adjustable in the full editor.

Can I pick a different setting than the four shown?

Quick AI uses the four curated settings — those are the ones the AI is tuned for. For a custom scene (e.g. your specific city, a forest, a museum), open the project in the full editor and write a custom prompt.

Will it look like a deepfake?

The proposal pose and setting are AI-generated, but the framing is short and the camera moves slowly. It reads as a stylised, romantic reel — not as documentary footage. The intent is clearly "imagine if…", not "this happened".

Yes. Signup tokens cover at least one full proposal video. After that you can top up, or bring your own API keys on the desktop app.

Can I share it on social or send it privately?

The included track is licensed for royalty-free commercial use, including monetised posts and ads. OpenMuse adds no watermark.

My partner has long hair / a beard / glasses — does the AI keep them?

Yes. Hair length, facial hair, glasses, and accessories from the source photo carry through into the restaged frame.

Use case

Stage the proposal — before it happens

Upload one photo of you and your partner. AI restages the scene as the proposal moment — one of you kneeling with the ring, the other reacting — in a setting you choose, scored to a romantic track.

What you can pick

Hand-tuned variants. Pick the one that fits the moment — the AI handles the rest.

1 Beach sunset

Warm gold light, soft sand, the ocean low in frame. The classic "we eloped to the coast" energy.

2 Mountain overlook

Crisp air, a long vista, golden hour light over a valley. Reads adventurous and quiet at once.

3 Paris at night

Soft city lights, the Eiffel Tower visible in the distance, a romantic blue-violet sky.

4 Candlelit dinner

An indoor restaurant scene, low warm light, candle on the table, the ring box on the linen.

Proposal videos usually mean hiring a photographer to hide in a bush, or asking a friend to film from across the restaurant. Neither is easy, both are expensive, and the result is either a Hollywood production or a shaky phone clip. OpenMuse runs a different bet: restage your existing couple photo as the moment, in a setting you choose, with the right music. Use it as a save-the-date for an engagement party, a surprise reveal for friends, or a teaser to send before the proposal happens for real.

Perfect for

Engagement party teaser

Send the video to friends in the days before the party — a moving invitation.

Long-distance surprise

A pre-proposal teaser sent to family who live abroad, before the in-person moment happens.

Pre-proposal mood board

Test which setting feels most like you and your partner before booking the real location.

Tips for the best result

A few small things make a noticeable difference.

1
Both faces should be clear
The single biggest factor is photo quality of both faces. A clear, in-focus shot of both partners gives the AI the strongest identity anchor.
2
Standing, not pre-posed
Don't use a photo where one of you is already kneeling. A neutral standing or sitting shot gives the AI room to restage the moment.
3
Casual photos work
You don't need a professional shoot. A holiday photo, dinner selfie, or casual hike shot all work as the source. The AI handles the wardrobe and setting.
4
Crop to chest-up if possible
Both partners visible from the chest up reads strongest. Full-body shots still work but the reaction expressions read smaller in frame.

How it works

1
Upload one couple photo
Pick a photo where both faces are clearly visible and you're standing close together — outdoor, indoor, casual, formal. No need to pre-stage anything.
2
Pick a setting
Beach sunset, mountain overlook, Paris at night, or candlelit dinner. The AI restyles the scene around you while keeping both faces consistent.
3
AI restages + animates
A new image is generated with both of you in the proposal moment, then animated — one of you kneels with the ring, the other reacts — over a romantic instrumental.
