For TikTok, generate in 9:16, save the MP4, make only edits you have the right to publish, disclose the synthetic nature of the video when required, and preview the post before publishing. This is a formatting and disclosure workflow—not a promise of views.
Generate for a vertical destination
Choose 9:16 before generation. It is the portrait option and avoids turning a wide video into a narrow crop that may remove the scorer, feet, ball, or goal. Choose 5 seconds for a compact, lower-cost test or 10 seconds when you want more movement.
| Output | Credits | Practical use |
|---|---|---|
| 5s · 480P · 9:16 | 1 | Lowest-cost source-image test |
| 5s · 768P · 9:16 | 2 | Higher-resolution short version |
| 10s · 480P · 9:16 | 2 | More movement at lower resolution |
| 10s · 768P · 9:16 | 4 | Longer, higher-resolution version |
No option guarantees better distribution, a particular visual result, or a fixed completion time.
Follow TikTok's AI-content disclosure rules
TikTok's official AI-generated content guidance explains its labeling tools and requirements. Check that page at posting time because platform policies can change.
Do not describe the scene as real match footage. Do not imply that a player, club, competition, or broadcaster endorsed it. A direct caption such as “AI-generated football scene made from my own character image” is clearer than a misleading match claim.
Caption starters that stay accurate
- “My original character tries the chip-goal trend — AI-generated.”
- “One photo to a fictional football finish. Generated scene.”
- “Office outfit, football pitch, impossible confidence. AI video.”
- “Portrait test versus landscape next — which frame works better?”
- “The source-photo experiment: full body, simple background, 9:16.”
Adapt these to the truth of your own post. Do not state that a generated character is a real person, a public figure, or an official player collaboration.
Final pre-post checklist
- The MP4 plays from beginning to end.
- The cover does not crop the face or feet unintentionally.
- The caption accurately calls the scene generated or fictional.
- The TikTok AI label is enabled when the current policy requires it.
- The audio and visual material are yours or properly permitted.
- No public figure, minor, pet, copyrighted character, crest, or protected footage was used without the necessary rights.
- The visibility, comments, and remix settings match your preference.
Trending sounds, hashtags, captions, and posting times cannot guarantee reach. Focus on a legible opening frame and a truthful one-sentence premise rather than unsupported “viral” formulas.
