The steps

  • Open the generator, choose a scene, and keep its five default portraits or replace any of them.
  • For each role, your uploaded photo takes priority; roles you do not replace keep their default portrait.
  • Every video is 15 seconds in 720p and uses 15 credits. Choose vertical 9:16 or wide 16:9.
  • Confirm that everyone pictured is an adult and agreed to appear, then start.
  • Watch the finished video in My videos, then download it.

One photo or five?

A quick personal memeYour photo as leadFastest, least personal
A mini concert with friendsTwo or three photosMore fun, more chances for faces to drift
A full custom bandAll five rolesMost control, hardest to keep every face right

Start with one. It is the quickest way to see how the format treats your face, and it makes later changes easier to judge.

Choosing a good photo

  • One person, with the face filling much of the frame.
  • Even light, facing forward or at a slight angle.
  • No sunglasses, masks, heavy filters or blurry screenshots.
  • A separate photo for each person, not a crop from a crowded group shot.

If the result looks off

You noticeTry
The face looks genericA sharper, better-lit photo with no filter
Two people look too alikePhotos of people who look more distinct, or fewer custom roles
Someone changes between momentsSimplify the cast and use your clearest photos
Hands or instruments look strangeGenerate another take. This is common in AI video

Every take is different, and no setting guarantees a perfect one. Each new take uses credits.

Before you post

  • Watch the whole clip, not just the first second.
  • Check that the lead is still recognizable throughout.
  • Use vertical for TikTok, Reels and Shorts, and wide for YouTube.
  • Add a short caption that sets up the joke.
  • Label it as AI-generated, and never present it as a real concert.

About the music

The soundtrack is newly generated with the video. It is not "Outstanding" or any other existing recording. If you add a commercial song in an editor, you need the rights to it.
