1. Play the reference clips and select a template.
2. Upload one clear JPG, PNG or WebP photo (up to 10 MB). Use a portrait for a solo dance or a group photo for everyone to dance together. Keep every face visible.
3. Confirm authorization to use the photos. Review the selected duration and USD price.
4. Continue to secure checkout. Guest purchases do not require an account. Photos and template selection are saved on the current device for payment return.
5. Keep the private result link to follow progress and download. Email notification is optional and requires an enabled mail service. Signed-in users can use My videos.

Confirmed generation failures return the credits used by the attempt. This is separate from a cash refund. A status error or long wait does not confirm failure. Provider video links can expire; download files you want to keep.
