Photo tips for a football AI video

Choose a clear portrait and understand the limits of identity consistency.

Keep the face visible

Choose one adult with a clear, unobstructed face. Avoid sunglasses, face coverings, tiny faces and heavy blur. Even light helps preserve facial information. A simple background makes the intended person easier to identify.

Show enough of the person

A front-facing or slight three-quarter portrait is useful. Do not crop through the face. Clothing can influence the output, but the model may change fabric, shoes and body proportions during movement. This is generated footage, not a frame-perfect face swap.

Use a permitted image

Use your own photo, an original fictional character, or an image you have permission to process. Do not upload children, intimate images or another person's private photo without consent. Our acceptable use policy applies to uploads and output.

Check motion as well as identity

An attractive opening frame cannot establish consistency for the whole video. Look at the face before and after the goalkeeper action and at the final shot. Watch for extra limbs, changing clothing, ball duplication and impossible foot contact. The fixed scene may include camera cuts, which can make the ball's continuous path difficult to judge.

Create a football clip when your portrait is ready. Each new generation is paid, so select the image carefully before submitting.
