How to Make a Burning Bridges AI Video from One Photo

Before you start

You do not need to film a dance, upload a reference video or write a prompt. The generator has a prepared party scene and performance direction. Your photo supplies the main subject’s appearance.

• One JPG, PNG or WebP image, at least 300 × 300 pixels and no larger than 10 MB, with a width-to-height ratio between 0.4 and 2.5.
• A signed-in account with a verified email and enough credits for your selected settings.
• A few minutes for generation, depending on provider demand.
• A publishing app if you want to share your finished video.

Current packs are $9.90 for 100 credits, $19.90 for 300 credits or $29.90 for 800 credits. These are one-time purchases. Compare the credit packs on the template page.

1. Choose one clear photo

Start with a well-lit photo of yourself, or someone who agreed to appear. Keep one subject in the frame, with the face clearly visible. A simple background and a front-facing or gently angled pose make the image easier to interpret.

Avoid group photos, tiny faces, heavy filters and objects covering the eyes or mouth. Choose the clothing you want your subject to wear: your photo guides both appearance and outfit. AI can still change details, so exact likeness and clothing are not guaranteed.

A pet or an original character is also a possible starting point. Look at the provided video examples for creative directions, and expect results to vary with the subject.

2. Upload and choose your format

Open the generator and select your file in the photo area, or drag it into the upload box. Check the photo preview before continuing. If it is the wrong image, remove it and choose another.

Choose vertical 9:16 for a full-height mobile post, or widescreen 16:9 for a wider composition. Both options produce a 720p MP4. All three models support 15 seconds; choose Seedance 2.5 for 20 seconds. Check the displayed credit cost before generating.

Review the duration and credit information beside the generate button. The reference performance is already prepared; no extra template is required.

3. Sign in and generate

Click Generate my video. If you are not signed in, complete sign-in first. If you need a pack, use the Pricing section on the same page. The model and length determine the credit cost.

Once submitted, the generator shows the job’s stage and progress. Wait while it works. You can also return to My videos to check the task. A message saying the submission is being checked means its status is uncertain; do not start a second copy just because it has not finished.

A confirmed generation failure returns the reserved credits to your account. A new attempt after a completed generation uses another set of credits based on the selected model and length, so review the first result before deciding to make a variation.

4. Review and download

Play the finished clip all the way through. Check whether the face remains recognizable during turns, whether hands move naturally, and whether the camera keeps the subject in frame. Also check the final seconds: a good opening frame does not tell you how the whole performance looks.

Use the download button to save the MP4. Save your copy while it is available in your account. AI can change facial details, clothing, hands and background guests; exact likeness and motion are not guaranteed.

If your subject is too small or difficult to recognize, try a clearer, closer photo for a future generation. Change one input at a time so you can tell what helped.

5. Review the sound before you post

Your personalized download includes synchronized music guided by the reference soundtrack. Review the sound with your performance. If you prefer a different recording, choose it in your publishing app.

1. Import your downloaded MP4 into TikTok, Instagram or your preferred editor.
2. Keep the included audio and preview the clip with sound enabled.
3. Check that the music, singing and gestures work together throughout the clip.
4. Review the final post with sound enabled before publishing.

Adding another track is optional. If you choose a replacement from your app’s audio library, mute the clip’s original audio to avoid overlapping soundtracks and preview the timing again. The original song and video guide links to the official releases and explains the difference between the song and AI remixes.

Describe your post as an AI-generated edit so viewers understand what they are watching. Your clip is a personalized performance, not footage of an event that happened.
