Does Spark make the video straight away?

No. Spark sets up a Draft first. Nothing is made until you tap Make.

How does Spark know who goes where?

Spark looks at the people and subjects in the original, then asks who should take each place. You can say it in a line, like "me on the left".

What if the clip is longer than 15 seconds?

Spark says so and sets up the best 15.

Can I change the plan?

Yes. Tell Spark what to change and it updates the Draft.

Stop is immediate, and a stopped Make is not charged.

How Rift plans a remake after you share a video

A remake looks simple from the outside: same video, but with you in it. Behind it is a plan. Here is what happens between Share and Make. For the basics, see what a trend remake is.

In TikTok, Instagram or YouTube, tap Share and pick Rift. You can also add a video from your camera roll. Spark opens the clip and says something like “Got your video. Watching it now.”

Spark watches and counts

Spark watches the whole clip. It notes how many shots there are, where the cuts fall, how the camera moves and who appears. This is the part an editor does by hand, and the part you skip.

Spark works out who goes where

Many clips have more than one person. Spark checks who is in each shot and asks who should take each place. You can answer in a line: “me in the middle, Sam on the right”, or “swap the dancer for my dog”. If you have added friends as characters, they are ready to pick.

Spark asks for what it needs

Spark keeps requests small. Usually it is one photo of who should star. “One photo is enough.” If something does not fit, such as a clip longer than 15 seconds, Spark says it plainly and offers the nearest thing.

Spark sets up a Draft

Next comes the Draft, which is the plan before anything is made. It shows the shots Spark intends to make, with the price on the Make button. If you want changes, say them and the Draft updates.

You decide

You tap Make or you do not. Nothing is made, and nothing is charged, until you do. After Make, you can leave the app, and Spark tells you when it is ready.

Why the plan comes first

A remake that starts before you agree to it is a remake you cannot steer. Putting the Draft between Share and Make means you see the shots, the cast and the price while it is still cheap to change your mind. You can ask for a different outfit, a different place or a different person in the lead role, and Spark updates the Draft rather than starting again.

It also keeps Spark honest. Spark does not say a video is made until you tap Make, and it does not quote a price itself. The button does.

Stop anytime

If you change your mind while it is working, tap Stop. It stops at once. A stopped Make is not charged.

Saved to Library

The finished video is saved to your Library, up to 15 seconds. What you make is yours to post anywhere.

Rift is on the App Store for iPhone. Find a video you like, tap Share, and watch Spark plan it.
