Best Photo for a Burning Bridges AI Video

The video model can only animate what it can see. A good photo is the single biggest reason one Burning Bridges AI video looks great and another looks off.

Use this

• One adult, facing the camera. The model keeps the face from your photo, so the clearer it is, the more it looks like you.
• Head and shoulders in frame. Enough of the outfit to carry over, enough of the face to recognise.
• Even, natural light. Daylight by a window beats a dark room with the flash on.
• A sharp image. At least 300 px on each side, no heavy compression.
• A neutral or relaxed expression. The video adds the rapping, the shaker and the eye cover.

Avoid this

• Group photos. The model has to choose who to animate, and it may choose wrongly.
• Sunglasses, masks and hats pulled low. They hide the features that make you recognisable.
• Cropped or very distant faces. Details get invented.
• Strong beauty filters. The face may drift away from yours.
• Pets. Pet videos are not supported yet.
• Photos of other people without permission. Only upload yourself or someone who agreed, and use a parent or guardian for minors.

If a result looks off

AI video varies. The same photo can give a slightly different face, hand movement or crowd each time. If a result misses, try a different photo rather than the same one again. A sharper, closer, better-lit photo is the most reliable fix.

If a video fails to generate, you do not need to contact us. We retry it, and if it still fails the video is added back to your pack so you can try again at no charge.
