Product: one item, sharp, label facing the camera, on a plain background. Logo: flat and big on a plain background, no slogan; it appears on the closed curtain.

Caught at the Window is the clip where the camera floats up the side of a building at dusk, settles on the one warm window, and finds someone happily eating — until they spot the lens, stare it down and whip the curtain closed. This generator turns that 12-second shot into an ad for your own food, drink or product, with your logo on the curtain at the end. Upload your product and it goes on the table, eaten or sipped the way it naturally would be. Upload a photo of a person and the video keeps their face, hair, age and clothes; skip it and a built-in character plays the part. Add a logo and it appears on the closed curtain. The camera stays outside the whole time, so the reveal plays like a real caught-on-camera moment, and a fixed soundtrack carries the approach, drops as the person notices you and fades on the curtain.
What is the Caught at the Window?
Caught at the Window is an AI video effect that animates a still image with a directed camera move or subject action. The source photo anchors the opening composition while the video model generates coherent motion, depth, and new frames around it.

What happens in the video
0–3 s: the camera glides up to a warmly lit apartment window. 3–7 s: the person eats or drinks your product, relaxed. 7–9 s: they notice the camera and give it an annoyed, caught-in-the-act stare. 9–10.5 s: they put it down and pull the curtain shut. 10.5–12 s: the shot holds on the glowing curtain, with your logo if you added one.
Your product, your logo, your person
A product photo is reproduced on the table, labels and packaging included. A person photo is the only identity reference: face, hairstyle, age appearance, gender presentation and visible clothes carry into the video. Your logo is drawn on the closed curtain by the video model, close to your upload, though small details can differ.
Sound
Every video gets the same 12-second soundtrack: full level for the approach and the meal, lower from the moment the person notices the camera, faded out by the end.
Length, format and price
Every video is 12 seconds, vertical 9:16, 720p. One generation costs 97 credits, shown before you start. If the generation fails, the credits are refunded.

The example is a real result of this template made with the built-in character and the included pasta. Caught at the Window is an independent template; imageat is not affiliated with the creators of the original clip or its music.
Tips for Best Results
- Use a clean photo of one product with the label facing the camera; busy backgrounds can end up on the table too.
- A flat logo without a slogan, big on a plain background, comes out cleanest on the curtain.
- A sharp, front-facing person photo with even light keeps the face closest through the stare-down.
- One adult per photo. Group shots and children are not supported.
