How to make the “I love the Smiths” AI video

You need two clear photos: one of the person who will wear the headphones and one of the person who says “I love the Smiths.” Upload both on the homepage, assign each to its role, choose Standard 480p or HD 720p, and enter your order email. The result is a 19-second 16:9 MP4. Ordering is not open to the public yet.

Step by step

  1. Pick your two people: usually you and a partner or friend. Both must be adults who agree to take part.
  2. Choose a photo for each. Head and shoulders, one face, even light. See the photo guide.
  3. On the homepage, select “Add your photo” and choose both images.
  4. Check the role under each photo: “The listener” wears headphones, “The fan” says the line. Swap them if needed.
  5. Pick Standard 480p (US$9.99) or HD 720p (US$19.99) and enter the email you want the order linked to.
  6. Confirm your rights to the photos and continue. The video is made after payment is confirmed.
