How it works

Prep the photo
Clear face, even light, rights secured.
- 2
Generate
Use /generator — pay once, wait for MP4.
- 3
Post responsibly
AI label + music rules + likeness consent.
Before you upload
Pick the path: person (18+, likeness rights) or pet (permission to depict). Crop so the face fills a healthy portion of the frame. Avoid heavy filters, sunglasses, and group shots where the subject is tiny.
Decide your posting plan: vertical 9:16 fits TikTok, Reels, and Shorts. Our public person/pet/baby samples are 15s; paid jobs target that vertical short format.
In the generator
Open /generator → scene mode → upload → optional note → consent → Stripe checkout. Wait a few minutes for the MP4. If the provider fails, credits refund automatically — fix the photo and retry.
Do not rely on ?template= query URLs for navigation; use clean paths like /generator, /templates/person-quarrel-dance, and /templates/pet-quarrel-dance.
After download
Preview locally. Attach a trending sound in the social app if you want the commercial BAD TIMES track — our file ships with original AI ambient audio only.
Label the clip as AI-generated when required. Do not present non-consensual deepfakes as real. Credit packs start from $8.88 on /pricing with no subscription.
