How to enable photo mode?

Hi everyone,

I’ve created a frame filter in Effect House where users can tap the screen to cycle through different frames. However, after uploading, TikTok automatically sets the filter to video mode instead of photo mode.

I tried removing the tap interaction and making the frame static, but the filter still defaults to video mode. I also used the “Photo Dump” template, but it didn’t switch to photo mode either.

Is there a way to enable photo mode while keeping interactive features like tap-to-change-frame? Or is this a known limitation that interactive filters must run in video mode?

Any advice or suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks in advance.
