I Love The Smiths AI tutorial
This walkthrough covers the parts that actually change the result: the photos, the order, the consent step, and what to check before you post.
What you need
Two adults, two clear photos, and a credit balance. The photos should be front-facing and well lit. Cropping a couple selfie into two separate portraits is fine if each face is sharp.
The order, one more time
First slot: the man on the left, wearing the headphones. Second slot: the woman on the right, saying the line. If the output reverses the performances, swap the uploads and render again.
What to check before posting
Watch the whole clip with sound. Check that both faces stay consistent across the head turns, that the headphones remain on the correct person, and that the line lands at the right moment.
Common mistakes
Group photos, sunglasses, heavy beauty filters, extreme angles, and photos where the face is partially covered all reduce identity fidelity. A plain, sharp portrait is the safest input.
Try the tutorial workflow
Two photos, 18 seconds, about 30 minutes. Failed runs are refunded.

Why does my face change between shots?
Fast head turns and occlusion are the hardest cases. A sharper, front-facing photo with even light usually helps.
Can I do this on my phone?
Yes. The uploader works in a mobile browser; the render runs in the background.
Does it work for couples?
Yes. The format was built for two people. Friends and family photos work too, as long as both adults consent.
