AI characters: put a persona in place of the person in a video

In short: open AI characters, create your persona and pick a video. The persona takes the person's place, with the same camera and the same moves. You see the price before you generate. If the generation fails or is refused, your credits come back on their own.

Create your persona

In AI characters, pick one of these paths:

• Import my face: send up to 6 photos of yourself. One close-up, facing the camera, in good light, is enough. The more photos, the more it looks like you. The first one is free.
• Use a ready-made character: pick one of the Ready-made characters. It's free.
• Build from scratch: choose the hair, the outfit and everything else, piece by piece.
• Import my character sheet: send the sheet of your influencer or AI character.

Then give it a name and save. The persona stays in Your personas, ready for as many videos as you want.

Building from scratch and generating the persona's photo again use credits. You see the price first.

Put the persona in a video

1. Open the persona.
2. In What to create, pick the type of video.
3. Pick the video: Upload your own video (4 seconds to 3 minutes) or Use a ready-made video from the Persona gallery.
4. In Pick the part, mark the part that becomes the new video.
5. Pick the Quality and check the price.
6. Generate. The video shows up in Your videos when it's ready.

The types of video:

• Swap the person: the persona takes the place of the person in the video.
• Change the setting: the persona repeats the video's movement and camera in a new scene.
• Team up personas: more than one persona in the same video.
• Change the style: the whole video is redrawn in a visual style, with the same camera and the same moves.

In What changes, you decide how much of the person turns into the persona:

• Face only: face and hair become the persona's. Body and outfit stay as in the video.
• Person and outfit: face, hair, body and outfit become the persona's.
• Just the person: face, hair and body become the persona's, wearing the outfit from the video.

In Who becomes the persona, Automatic uses the main person in the video. Choose lets you tap who becomes the persona, a person or an animal. Whoever is filming is for first-person videos.

Length for each quality

Quality	Length of the part	What it's for
Economy	4 to 15 seconds	The cheapest, less sharp when the person is far away
Standard	4 to 15 seconds	Sharper than Economy
High fidelity	4 to 30 seconds	Sharper and truer to the persona

With Change the setting, the part runs 4 to 15 seconds in any quality.

Economy and Standard only take MP4 files up to 50 MB. High fidelity also takes MOV and files up to 100 MB.

How many people fit

Up to 4 personas fit in one video: the main one plus 3 more. Each person in the video gets one persona only.

In High fidelity, on a short video, up to 3 fit, all picked at the same moment of the video. To fit 4, use Standard.

What it costs

• Persona with your face: the first one is free.
• Ready-made character: free.
• Video: charged per second of the part, always rounded up. The price per second depends on the quality.

The screen shows the total in credits, and the approximate amount in money, before you generate.

If you're short on credits, tap Buy credits and generate. After the purchase, the video starts on its own. In a team workspace, the workspace owner is the one who adds credits.

When credits come back

They come back on their own and in full when:

• the generation fails or stops halfway;
• the generation runs past the time limit;
• the AI refuses the request under its content rules;
• the video doesn't stay true to the persona and doesn't pass our review, even after a redo.

If the video came out with a defect, tap Request a refund, pick the reason and tell us what happened. You get an answer within 24 hours.

Heads up: once you Download the video, or use it in a scheduled or published post, you can no longer ask for a refund. Check the video first.

What is not allowed

• Photos of other people. When you send them, you declare the photos are of you and that you are 18 or older.
• Nudity, violence, minors and famous people.
• Protected scenes: a part that looks like it comes from a movie, show, music video or well-known brand. Use your own video or one that is free to use.

A real person's face shown too prominently in the video may also be refused. Try a part where the face is smaller, turned to the side or moving, or change the quality.

When the AI refuses, your credits come back automatically.
