Best practices for high-performing AI talking photo videos

To get results that feel natural and convert:

• Choose clear, front-facing images
  Portraits with good lighting, visible facial features, and a neutral or simple background animate best.

• Keep scripts tightly scoped
  One video = one intent: explain the product, ask for a signup, highlight a feature, or answer a common question.

• Match tone to context
  Use a more energetic, concise style for ads and social; calmer and more detailed for onboarding or documentation.

• Respect likeness and rights
  Only use photos of people who have clearly consented to their image and voice being used. This is especially important for teams working in regulated industries or with customer content.

• Optimize for where it appears

  • For landing pages: shorter, high-impact, with a clear call-to-action.
  • For internal training: slower pacing, more detail, clear structure.
  • For social: punchy hooks in the first 1–3 seconds and support for sound-off viewing (subtitles).
