How to make a Burning Bridges AI video
Start with one clear photo of the person who will take the lead. This guide covers the planned photo-to-video workflow, from choosing a portrait to checking the result and adding a caption. Generation is not open in the current preview.
From one photo to your party clip

1. Start with a photo that shows the person clearly
The photo is the identity reference for the lead. Choose an image where the face is easy to recognize, the lighting is even, and the head and shoulders are fully in frame. A waist-up camera photo gives more context than a tiny profile picture.
Look at the photo at the size you would normally view it on a phone. If the eyes and mouth are hard to distinguish, choose a sharper original. Enlarging a small screenshot does not recover missing detail. Heavy filters and objects covering the face also leave more for the model to guess.
Use your own photo or a photo of a person who agreed to appear. If your starting image contains several people, crop it to the one intended lead. This version does not assign each person in a group photo to a different guest.
- JPG, PNG or WebP.
- At least 300 pixels on the shortest side for the current photo preview.
- A regular portrait or landscape crop, with the face unobstructed.
One person. Face in focus.

2. Check the template before you generate
A Burning Bridges AI template supplies the scene and movement. Your photo supplies the intended person. Watch the whole sample, rather than judging the tool by a single attractive frame: the face can look convincing at the beginning and change when the subject turns.
Compare the example photo with its output. Look at the eyes, hairstyle, hands, and clothing as the clip moves. A clear sample helps you decide whether that particular style is right for your idea. It is not a guarantee that every upload will produce the same result.
In this preview you can choose and replace a photo locally, then switch between landscape and portrait layouts. The media panels are labeled placeholders until our own production examples are ready. Selecting a file here does not upload it or start a generation.
3. Review the price and submit one task
When generation opens, the intended flow is to sign in, check the output specifications and credit price, and submit a single task. The final duration, resolution, and price will be shown together. Do not infer those settings from an example made on another website.
A one-time credit pack is planned for this tool. Buying credits and starting a video are separate actions: review your photo again before submitting. New AI attempts spend credits, including a second attempt with the same photo.
Queue and processing times can vary. Follow the task status and use My videos to return to the request. A page that takes time to update is not a reason to submit the same task again. Generation and checkout remain unavailable in this content preview.
4. Review the full clip before downloading
Watch the video from the first frame to the last. Check whether the lead stays recognizable and whether the main movement reads clearly. Pay particular attention to hands passing in front of the face, turning heads, and fast changes in camera position.
Small details can drift. An accessory may change shape, a shirt pattern may simplify, or a background face may look different between frames. The output is a generated performance, not a pixel-for-pixel edit of every element in the reference.
A system failure and an unsatisfactory completed result are different situations. The planned failure flow returns generation credits when the task is marked failed. Refund terms for purchases will be published before sales open. Keep the task information if you need support to investigate a result.

5. Give the video a caption
The best caption adds a specific situation that your audience recognizes. Think of the friend who finds every camera, the smallest possible work achievement, or the quiet night that becomes a party. A short setup and a short payoff leave room for the performance.
The planned caption editor adds written text to a completed clip without spending more generation credits. It does not generate dialogue or transcribe the song. Keep the words away from the face and use enough contrast to read them against both dark and bright frames.
Try the caption-layout preview on the homepage, or copy a caption idea and adapt it. Export remains unavailable until real clips are connected. Once export opens, keep a clean original alongside any captioned version so you can change the joke later.

Questions about how to make it
Do I need to film myself?
No. The planned template uses a still photo as its subject reference. You do not need to record yourself performing the movement.
Can I try the upload before launch?
Yes. Choose, replace, or remove a photo in the local homepage preview. It stays in your browser and no AI task is submitted.
Do I need a Burning Bridges AI prompt?
No prompt is required for the prepared template. This tool is built around one scene rather than a free-form video request.
Can I download a video now?
Not yet. This release previews the page and photo controls. The new template, real samples, generation, and export still need to be connected.
