How to Make the Boost Over Traffic AI Video (Your Car Jumps the Jam, 2026)

Quick answer

Upload a photo of yourself and a photo of your car to Starrd's Boost Over Traffic template. A handheld roadside shot shows you stuck in a freeway jam, throwing your hands up, then smirking and hitting a button as rocket boosters fire under your rear bumper. It cuts to the back seat as you rise over the traffic, then to a shot from behind as your car flies over the jam and lands on the empty road past the cones. Any car, truck or SUV. 12 seconds, vertical 9:16, 100 credits (about $5).

Stuck in traffic? Not anymore.

Pro Tip

Shoot your car in daylight with the whole thing in frame. Want your actual commute? Director's Notes take a road or city ("the 405 at rush hour") and one line to shout.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the Boost Over Traffic video?

A 12-second comedy clip: you're stuck in a freeway jam, you've had enough, you hit a button, and rocket boosters launch your own car over the traffic and onto the empty road ahead, like the new Tesla Roadster.

What photos do I need?

Two: a clear photo of you first, then a photo of your vehicle with the whole thing in frame.

Which vehicles work?

Cars, trucks, SUVs and vans. Your exact make, model and colour carry over, and the wheels stay on while it flies.

Can I change the road or say something?

Yes. Use Director's Notes to set the road or city (the 405 in LA, a bridge at night) or to add one short line you shout while you're stuck.

How long is it, and what does it cost?

12 seconds, vertical 9:16, at 480p. It costs 100 credits, about $5.

Do I need to label it as AI?

Yes. TikTok, Instagram and YouTube all require AI-generated content to be disclosed.
