"Animate a photo" sounds like magic, but it is a clear sequence of steps. This guide walks through the whole path in 上传你的照片，从挑选图片到成片。按顺序操作，很少会出错。
Step 1. Prepare the photo
选择一张你清晰可见的照片：整张脸，没有深色太阳镜或口罩，画面中只有你。文件大小不超过8 MB，格式为JPG、PNG或WebP。如果你没有合适的照片，请点击"拍照"：相机将在页面上打开，在手机上默认使用主摄像头。
Better to avoid:
- group photos, the network will not know who the lead is;
- heavy filters and beauty retouching, they distort your features;
- a face that is too small because you are far from the camera;
- blurry pictures and strong backlight.
Step 2. Take the check selfie
This step is mandatory: the service compares the face on your photo with the selfie to make sure the clip is made with you. Look into the camera, keep your whole face in the frame and do not cover it. The shot is not stored and is used only for comparison. If it did not come out well, press "Retake".
Step 3. Pick a style
"Gentle" is for flirting, caresses and hints: faster and cheaper. "Hot" is an explicit clip: more expensive and slower. The differences are covered in Gentle vs Hot.
Step 4. Describe the scene
The description field takes plain text up to 300 characters. Write it the way you would tell a friend: where you are, what you do, what mood you are in. One action works better than a chain of events. Ideas and formulas are collected in how to describe your video.
第5步。按下按钮并等待
表单下方有一段同意声明：按下按钮即表示你确认自己已年满21岁，照片中的人是你本人，并且你同意进行人脸核验。按下后，页面会立即显示一个带有计时器和进度条的短片卡片。你不必一直盯着它：短片会出现在“我的短片”中。
Step 6. Download and keep it
When the clip is ready a round download button appears on it. Gentle clips are kept for a day, Hot clips by the video service for up to three days, so save your result at once. Delete clips you no longer need with the "Delete" button.
What happens after you press the button
- Receiving: photo and selfie are sent, GEM are reserved and a card appears.
- Face check: the software finds the face, estimates age and size and compares it with the selfie.
- Frame preparation: the photo is cropped around your face and shoulders so the network has less to guess.
- 制作短片：最耗时的阶段，大约渲染六秒钟的视频。
- Delivery: the finished clip appears with a download button.
After that your source images are erased, and if something fails they are cleaned up automatically.
Common errors
"The face is too small"
Pick a closer photo or step nearer to the camera.
"The selfie does not match the photo"
Take the selfie in good light without hats or glasses. If the photo is old, use a fresher one.
这段视频不是你所想象的那样。
Shorten the description to one action and try again. GEM are charged only for a successful clip, they come back on failure.
Strategy for your attempts
Do not aim for perfect on the first try. Use the first attempt to test the photo, the second to tune the words and the third to polish. Change one thing at a time: either the photo or the text. Then you will see what really matters.
