Turn one photo of your empty living room or porch into an AI video of Santa's visit: he sneaks in, leaves a present or takes a cookie, and looks right at the camera.

Try itA Santa caught on camera AI video is a short clip made from a photo of your own room or porch that looks as if your home camera filmed Santa on Christmas Eve. Your own video stays on your photo's single angle in one continuous shot; the example clips below may cut between angles while they show the moments a visit can have.
Gift drop
The visit starts in the room the kids know. In this example Santa steps out beside the fireplace, pulls a wrapped present from his sack, tucks it by the tree and melts into golden light, so the present becomes the clue they find in the morning.
Cookie break
Put cookies and milk on a table before you take the photo. Santa walks in from the side, picks one up, turns to the camera and takes a big bite, the kind of moment kids replay on Christmas morning.
Down the chimney · Sleigh past the window
With the fireplace in your photo, Santa can arrive in a puff of soot and sparkles instead of walking in; with a window onto the sky, his sleigh and reindeer can glide past outside while he waves. Each video holds one visit, and he never comes or goes through the door.
Pick Doorbell cam and Santa's visit is seen from beside your front door, in the wide, slightly rounded view a doorbell camera gives, with no time, icons or logo added on screen.
Doorbell cam
In this example he straightens up beside his sack, throws a shower of sparkles, then looks up into the camera and waves.
Porch photo or screenshot
Stand by the door and shoot the porch from about doorbell height, or open your doorbell app, pause a clip with nobody in it and take a screenshot. Crop off the time, date, battery and brand logo before you upload, since anything left in the photo can stay in the video, and keep the house number out of frame.
Set the room up the way you want the kids to find it, take one photo while it is empty, and the template plays out the visit.

Becomes the first frame: Santa walks into this exact room or onto this porch, and the furniture, tree and lights stay where they are.

Save it for the morning
Download the video. It comes with soft sleigh bells, so it can play as it is on the TV or under your own music.
Not for free: each video uses credits. The default 6-second 768p video costs 72 credits, and other lengths and resolutions run from 50 to 480; the Generate button shows the exact price first. New accounts get 10 free credits.
No. Santa never speaks, reads out a name or holds up a sign in these videos; he only moves and gestures. Personalized talking Santa messages aren't offered on Oeneo AI.
Yes, as a family keepsake. Santa is the gentle storybook figure and leaves by magic, and the video carries no timestamp or camera overlay, so it isn't evidence of anything. If you post it publicly, label it as AI-generated, as most social platforms require for realistic AI videos.
Pick the visit your photo can hold. Gift drop and Night vision need open floor near the tree, Cookie break needs a table, Down the chimney needs the fireplace in frame and Sleigh past the window needs a window onto the sky; the room itself doesn't change, and Night vision only turns the whole video black and white.
Any. The template starts from a still image, so a screenshot from any doorbell or security camera app works, and so does a phone photo of the porch taken from beside the door. It isn't connected to any camera brand and doesn't appear in your doorbell app; you download the video and share it yourself.
Soft sleigh bells and the quiet sound of the room, with no song and no voice. Add your own music when you post if you want some.
Usually a few minutes. You can stay on the page and watch it replace the example, or come back later: every video is saved in My Creations.
Yes. The Add Santa to Photo template adds Santa to a picture of your room, porch or family as a still you can print or send; this page makes the video.
One photo of the room the kids will wake up to, one visit from Santa, ready before they come downstairs.
