A generated video is not a fixed template pasted over every photo. The system creates new motion from the reference, so a different source—or another generation from the same source—can change the pose, camera, body detail, timing, ball path, defenders, and background.
Five sources of variation
| Variable | What it changes | What you can do |
|---|---|---|
| Source identity and pose | Face, proportions, stance, visible limbs | Use one sharp, unobstructed full-body subject |
| Clothing and background | Edges, colors, visual clutter | Choose a readable outfit and simple setting |
| Aspect ratio | How the scene fits horizontally and vertically | Pick 9:16 or 16:9 for the final destination |
| Duration | Time available for the movement | Pick 5s for compact output or 10s for more motion |
| Generation variability | Exact frames, timing, and inferred action | Expect variation; no setting removes it |
Resolution belongs in a separate category. Choosing 768P gives the output more pixels than 480P, but it cannot recover a shoe cropped out of the source or guarantee a closer face.
Why the example is not a template
The published example clips demonstrate the kind of compact football edit the site is built to make. They do not function as a frame-by-frame target. An example made from one body shape, outfit, pose, and background gives the generator different information from your image.
That distinction matters when comparing results. A useful comparison asks, “Is my subject readable and is the chosen frame right?” An unhelpful comparison asks, “Why is every footstep not in the same frame?”
What to control first
Use this priority order before spending credits again:
- Subject: one permitted adult or original adult character, not a public figure, real player, minor, pet, or protected character.
- Visibility: face, outfit, arms, legs, and shoes clearly visible.
- Space: room around the person for movement.
- Destination: 9:16 for a vertical feed or 16:9 for a wide player.
- Test cost: 5-second 480P uses 1 credit and is the lowest-cost current check.
Only after those points are sound should you consider 768P or a 10-second render. The full matrix is 5s 480P/768P at 1/2 credits and 10s 480P/768P at 2/4 credits.
A realistic quality checklist
Do not look only at a frozen face frame. Play the whole result and check whether the main subject remains understandable, the body action is usable, the chosen crop fits the destination, and the clip can be clearly presented as generated media.
No setting guarantees exact identity, motion, quality, delivery speed, social reach, or similarity to another video. If the output has obvious limb or crop problems, use the troubleshooting guide. If the source is weak, start with the photo checklist.
