The short answer: Upload one clear photo of yourself (or your cat or dog) to our broom riding generator, keep the "My ride is here" car-window scene or pick another, and watch a free preview. Most videos are ready in about 1–3 minutes, so you can have a 10-second HD flying broom video tonight with no costume, filming or editing.
One-line definition: A last-minute Halloween broom video is a short AI clip, made from one photo, of you or your pet riding a witch's broom, the same joke as the "My Ride Is Here" trend.
How do you make a Halloween broom video in 3 steps?
You need one photo and a few minutes. Here's the whole process.
- Pick a photo. One person or one pet, face clearly visible, good even light. Half-body or full-body shots give the most natural riding pose. JPG, PNG or WEBP, up to 10 MB. Not sure which shot to use? See the best photo for broom riding AI.
- Pick a scene. There are six broom scenes:
- My ride is here (the default): you cruise beside a car window, glance at the camera, then fly off.
- Broom crash: you look back at the camera and bump a yellow road sign. It's slapstick and nobody gets hurt. More on the witch broom crash page.
- Full moon, Spooky castle, Pumpkin patch and City lights: night-sky flights.
- Watch the free preview, then get HD. Your first preview is free: 1 per account, about 6 seconds, 480p, watermarked, and you can only watch it on the site. If you like it, the HD version is 10 seconds, 720p, an MP4 with sound and no watermark. HD options are on the pricing page. Get HD the same day: making HD from a preview works while your uploaded photo is still stored, and photos are deleted within 24 hours.
The video keeps your photo's shape: a portrait photo gives a vertical 9:16 clip, a landscape photo gives 16:9, and a square photo gives 1:1. For a vertical post, start with a portrait photo.
You sign in with Google or email when you generate, with no card needed for the preview. You can also leave the page while it renders. The finished video is saved in My videos.
How long does it take, and is there still time before Halloween?
Yes, if you start tonight. Most videos are ready in about 1–3 minutes, and it can take a little longer during busy hours around Halloween. Here's a realistic timeline:
| Step | Time |
|---|---|
| Choose and crop a photo | 2–5 minutes |
| Free preview renders | about 1–3 minutes |
| HD version renders | about 1–3 minutes |
| Download, caption, post | 5 minutes |
The HD render is a new video made from the same photo and scene, so the motion can differ a little from the preview. Leave time to watch the HD version once before you post.
When should you post it: tonight or tomorrow?
Post when your own followers are around. There's no single best hour, so use what you know about your audience:
- Tonight (October 30): You beat the Halloween rush, and friends see it while they're still planning their own posts.
- Halloween daytime (October 31): It works as a "my ride is here" joke on the way to work, school or a party.
- Halloween evening: Post just before you head out to trick-or-treat or to a party, when the "my ride is here" joke lands best.
If your app shows when your followers are active, trust that over any general advice. You can also make one clip tonight and a second scene for tomorrow.
What broom video ideas work for a party, a family, a pet or a couple?
Each video has one rider, so for groups, make one clip per person and post them back to back.
Party
Everyone uploads their own photo in their party outfit and picks a different scene. Post them back to back as "the coven has arrived." The broom crash scene makes a good last clip for the friend who's always late.
Family
Make one clip per family member, kids included only if you're the parent or have the parent's okay. Use the Pumpkin patch scene for a cozy look, or keep the car-window scene for "school run, Halloween edition."
Pet
Cats and dogs work. Use one pet per photo, with the face and body clearly visible. Car window and broom crash are the funniest picks. The pet broom ride page has examples.
Couple
Make two clips, one per person, with the same scene. Full moon or City lights gives a date-night look. Post them together as "his ride / her ride" or "our rides are here."
For outfit ideas before you take the photo, see My Ride Is Here costume ideas. The AI keeps the outfit from your photo, so wear the look you want.
What should you check before you post?
Run through this list once:
- Photo is yours to use. It's you, your pet, or someone who said yes.
- One subject. One person or one pet per photo.
- Face is clear. No sunglasses, heavy filters or a hat hiding your face.
- Right shape. A portrait photo gives a vertical 9:16 clip.
- You're posting the HD file. The free preview is watermarked and can only be watched on the site, so download the HD MP4.
- Sound is set. HD comes with sound. To use the trending audio instead, swap it in your app.
- AI label is on. Turn on your app's AI-generated content label.
- Caption is ready. "Sorry, my ride is here 🧹" never gets old.
- Download it today. Videos are removed after 14 days, so save the MP4 to your phone.
