FreeVideo AIChoose the reference carefully
Use a sharp face without hands or objects covering it. A simple background and stable head position make changes easier to inspect. Use a likeness you have permission to process.
Begin with a blink and a small smile
Ask for a gentle blink, a natural smile and subtle breathing. A fixed camera reduces competing motion. Avoid combining talking, turning and reaching in the first attempt.
Review identity and anatomy
Watch the entire clip, including the opening and ending. Check eyes, teeth, ears, fingers and hairstyle. Reference images guide appearance but do not provide an identity lock or pixel-perfect preservation.
Keep animation separate from speech
The public workflow does not generate speech or lip sync. If a talking portrait is required, choose a separate tool with those capabilities and check its rights and privacy rules before uploading a likeness.
Settings and credit budget
Choose 5, 10 or 15 seconds. Text tasks cost 6 credits; image and two-frame tasks cost 8. New Google accounts receive a one-time 60-credit grant valid for 30 days. Landscape output is 896 × 512 and portrait output is 512 × 896 at 24 fps. Each account can have one active task. Wait for a confirmed result instead of repeatedly submitting.
A prompt to start with
The person gently blinks and gives a small natural smile, subtle breathing, a light breeze moves a few strands of hair, head mostly still, fixed camera, one continuous shot.
Use this as a starting point, then adjust one action or camera instruction at a time. It is a prompt example, not a guarantee of a specific result.
