Eight solo portraits pop into a gallery grid, then fire off full-screen — a clean editorial photo-dump for people shots. Drop in 8 portraits (girls & guys) and a beat.

Each slot below is a hole in the finished edit. Fill it and the animation, grade and timing around it stay exactly as they are.
Solo Shots — Portrait Dump is 18 layers of video, text and sound stacked on a timeline. The structure view draws that timeline out — when each piece appears, how long it holds, what sits in front of what, and exactly which layers are yours to replace. No wording or footage, just the shape of the edit.
Reads the published template live each time you open it, so it always matches what the app loads.
View timeline & layer structure →ExpoCut renders on your device and picks a bitrate from the frame size and the quality you choose, so the file scales with both. At 8.8s and 9:16, expect roughly:
| Export setting | Frame size | Medium quality | High quality |
|---|---|---|---|
| 720p | 720×1280 | 4.0 MB | 6.0 MB |
| 1080p | 1080×1920 | 8.8 MB | 13 MB |
| 4K | 2160×3840 | 35 MB | 52 MB |
These are estimates from the encoder’s own bitrate rule, not fixed numbers. Busy footage — fast motion, grain, confetti, hard cuts — compresses worse and lands above the estimate; a mostly-static talking head lands below it. 1080p is the right choice for Instagram, TikTok and YouTube Shorts, which all re-encode what you upload anyway; 4K is worth the extra size when you want to crop or reframe later. Uploading is where a big file costs you, not the render.
Tap Use Template, or find Solo Shots — Portrait Dump under Reels › Portraits in the app’s library.
You supply 8 photos · 1 music track. Everything else — the cuts, grade, transitions and text motion — is already timed.
Render on-device up to 4K in the shape this template was designed for, then post to Instagram Reels, TikTok, YouTube Shorts.
Solo Shots — Portrait Dump is a blank-slot template you fill, running 8.8s at 9:16 Vertical. It uses the same engine as the rest of the app, so anything you see in the ExpoCut showcase — filters, transitions, text animations — can be added on top once the template is open.

Four landscape beats joined by a water-droplet reveal. A blob falls, lands off-centre, and the next clip bursts open from exactly where it hit — the rim bending the picture like a lens. Recreated frame-by-frame from a reference montage.
