The site returns a 15-second, 16:9, 360-frame MP4 with the original scene soundtrack mixed in. A failed render refunds the credits. [**Make my video**](https://ilovesmiths.com/#create) # How to make the video The full workflow, with the exact photo order, resolutions, credit costs and download steps. Published November 10, 2026 ## Before you start You need two people, one photo each, and permission from both. The scene has exactly two seats. One photo cannot fill both; using the same image twice produces a duplicated face and a failed render. ## Step 1 — choose the right photos 1. **1**Listener photo: a clear head-and-shoulders shot, face forward, eyes open, no sunglasses. This person will wear the headphones on the left. 2. **2**Speaker photo: the same quality, facing the camera or a slight three-quarter angle. This person holds the folders on the right and says the line. 3. **3**Avoid group photos, heavy beauty filters, masks, and photos where the face is smaller than a thumbnail. 4. **4**JPG, PNG or WebP; 100 KB to 10 MB per photo. The order is the casting. If you swap the two uploads, the people swap roles. There is no “fix it after” switch; the prompt names each person by position. ## Step 2 — pick a resolution - 480p — 7 credits. A cheap draft for checking the casting and the timing. - 720p — 16 credits. The default and the one to post; 1280 × 720. - 1080p — 26 credits. Upscaled from the 720p master; useful for YouTube or client review. ## Step 3 — render The job creates one video task. The take renders, gets trimmed to 360 frames and mixed with the 15-second soundtrack. Most renders finish in 5–15 minutes. If the task stalls, the job retries; after 30 minutes it fails and refunds. ## Step 4 — download The result page plays the video and offers a download button. On desktop you can also scan the QR to open the file on your phone. Every render stays in [**My creations**](https://ilovesmiths.com/my-creations) for 14 days. ## Step 5 — post it Download the MP4 and upload it to TikTok, Reels, Shorts or YouTube. For a vertical post, crop to 9:16 in the app; keep both faces centred. The file already carries the scene soundtrack, so mute it if you add the platform trend sound. Label the output as AI-generated. ## Common questions **Make a video** ## Ready to cast your two people?
