Reference inputs: photos, scenes and prompts
How the three references you give an AI video — your photos, the scene you pick and a written direction — decide what gets rendered.
Every guide, in one sentence each
The library covers the whole journey from camera roll to finished clip. If you are new, read the founding guide first, then the one for the trend you plan to run — each is written to stand alone.
How to Make an AI Video From a Photo
The founding guide: what the generator actually does to your photo, which trends exist, how the two-photo and one-photo formats differ, and the full cost model from 4 seconds to 15.
Choosing Photos for AI Videos
The input decides more than the model does. Resolution, framing, face visibility, sharpness and lighting — what each check means, why it matters, and the ten-second fixes for the common failures.
Reference Inputs: Photo, Scene, Prompt
The three levers that steer every generation: your photos carry the likeness, the scene preset carries the motion and mood, and an optional written direction tunes the details. Where they agree — and where they conflict.
AI Hug Videos: the Complete Guide
The emotional template end to end: all 14 scenes explained, how two-photo and one-photo modes differ, and the etiquette of tribute videos — what to make, and how to label it honestly.
Make an AI Rap Video From a Photo
The solo performance trend: which photos survive the stage, how the three scenes change the delivery, and what the clip costs at each length and quality tier.
AI Rap vs Rap Duet: How to Choose
One performer or two? The comparison covers input requirements, audio behavior, cost per clip, and the failure modes each trend is prone to.
AI Video Sizes for Every Platform
9:16 for TikTok, Reels and Shorts; 1:1 for feed grids; 16:9 for YouTube. The exact export dimensions per platform and how each template's output maps onto them.
How AI Video Credits Work
The billing model from first principles: per-second rates, holds versus captures, the single-video alternative, and the worked examples that make the numbers predictable.
Where to start
If you have not generated yet: read the founding guide, then run the free photo checker on the photo you plan to use. Those two steps cover ninety percent of what separates a clip worth posting from a disappointment.
If you have generated but the likeness drifts: go to Choosing Photos — the answer is almost always resolution, framing or lighting on the input.
If you are choosing between trends: the comparison guide covers one-performer versus two-performer formats, and the trend pages themselves carry a scene library with real samples.
If the cost surprised you: the credits guide explains the per-second model with worked examples, and the single-video alternative that skips credits entirely. Every guide is written to stand alone — no need to read them in order.
Updated as the product changes
The guides track the product, not the other way around. When a trend gains a scene, a model adds a resolution, or the pricing structure changes, the affected guide is rewritten — the "updated" date on each guide reflects the last meaningful change, not a cosmetic edit. If something in a guide contradicts the live cost counter on a generator page, trust the counter and tell us: the guide is wrong and we will fix it.
Written for the way you actually work
Every guide follows the same shape: what the thing is, what makes the result good, where people go wrong, and what it costs. There are no stage-setting paragraphs that say nothing — each section is something you can act on the next time you generate. The guides are also the fastest way to catch up when the product changes: the updated dates are honest, and anything that changes is reflected in the affected guide the same week.
