Frequently Asked Questions
What is a wizard newspaper video?
It's a vintage, magical-looking newspaper front page generated from your photo. Your picture appears as a black-and-white halftone print that moves, while the page, headline, and text stay static. The effect loops seamlessly, like an enchanted prop.
Can I write my own headline?
Yes. The headline is yours, and you can rename the paper too (default is "Daily Zance"). Classic hits: "WANTED", "LOCAL HERO SAVES CAT", or an office in-joke.
Can I wear a costume in the newspaper?
Pick a preset (wizard, witch, royalty, superhero, pirate) or type any look you want. Your photo is restyled to match.
Does the video have sound?
No. It's intentionally silent, like a moving photograph. The format is 3:4 and about 4 seconds, looping seamlessly.
Is this based on a movie?
No. It's an original vintage-magical-newspaper style. No franchise names, props, or branding are reproduced.
