The starting photo is the most important choice you make before a Burning Bridges AI video. Pick one adult with a face that is easy to recognize at normal viewing size. A sharp photograph with even light gives you a better reference for reviewing the result than a tiny crop, a heavily filtered selfie or a face hidden behind a phone. Keep the clothing visible if the outfit matters to your idea. A group picture creates ambiguity about which person should become the foreground performer.
Think about the entire frame, not only the face. The party performance involves a cup and visible hand movement, so a useful input leaves enough context around the shoulders and torso. Avoid photographs where another person overlaps the subject or where a dramatic camera angle obscures facial features. These are practical input suggestions, not promises of a particular output. Even a strong photograph may produce altered details or movements that need closer review.
Follow the action, then inspect the details
Review a generated party video once at normal speed before pausing on individual frames. Does the overall performance read as one continuous scene? Does the main person remain distinct from the background guests? A smooth-looking moment at the start is not enough if the identity changes when the performer turns. Watch the beginning, middle and final seconds, including any movement towards the camera.
Then look closely at the hands and cup. Check whether the cup remains in contact with a believable grip, whether the hand assignment changes unexpectedly, and whether fingers merge with the object. Watch for extra hands, doubled cups and sudden changes of clothing. Faces can also drift during hand occlusions or turns. If you are reporting a problem, a precise time and a short description are more useful than simply saying that the video looks wrong. Completion status tells you that processing finished; it does not assess these visual details.
Choose the workspace that fits your idea
The party workflow is designed for a specific performance. Use it when your main goal is to place a photo subject into that scene. The general AI video workspace is a separate creative route for ideas that need your own scene description. Describe the subject, environment, framing and a small number of clear actions. Trying to specify many unrelated events in a short clip can make it harder to evaluate which part of your request the model followed.
The image workspace is useful when the desired result is a still image. It supports a different review process: inspect the composition, subject details, text and any requested edits in the finished picture. A generated portrait is not automatically a validated input for the party effect. If you choose to reuse it, inspect it as carefully as any photograph and check the upload requirements shown by the video tool. Changing workspaces does not transfer a completed result into a new paid task without your submission.
Understand credits before starting a task
The quoted cost should match the specific request you are about to send. Video pricing can depend on both the incoming reference footage and the output duration, as well as resolution and processing after generation. Compare the displayed settings and credits together; a price for a different duration or model is not a reliable guide to this request. Check the available balance before submitting, and review subscription billing, renewal and credit-expiry terms before making a purchase.
If your browser loses the connection, return to your task history before trying again. A request may still be processing after the page stops updating. Starting another task can create a separate generation. A confirmed technical failure and a result that completed with visual imperfections are different cases. Keep the task reference for support, and compare the final status with the credit record if something seems inconsistent. Restoring credits is also separate from refunding a payment.
Keep audio, permission and sharing in view
A party performance can feel different with sound, so review the audio as deliberately as the picture. Listen for unexpected speech, abrupt transitions and a mismatch between movement and music. Playback controls may start muted; silence during an initial preview does not establish whether the downloaded file has an audio track. Test the actual downloaded file when sound matters to your intended use.
Only upload material you are entitled to process and share. The fact that a person, song or video is publicly accessible does not establish unrestricted permission to reuse it. Generated media should be clearly identified as synthetic and should not imply a real endorsement or document an event that never happened. A completed AI video does not by itself grant rights to an included recording or third-party reference. Check the terms of the destination platform and any additional permissions your intended use requires.

Which photo should I use?
Start with one adult clearly visible, an unobstructed face and sufficient detail in their clothing. Avoid group photos and heavy blur.
Will the result exactly match my photo?
AI can change facial details, hands, clothing and movement. Review the complete video before using it; exact likeness or choreography is not guaranteed.
Can I share a video with music?
Check both the visuals and audio before sharing. Creating a video does not grant rights to a song, a recording, a person’s likeness or third-party material.
Where can I find earlier creations?
