What makes a useful Bad Times AI photo?
Use an image with readable faces, even light and enough detail to distinguish everyone. Heavy filters, motion blur or very small faces reduce the identity information available to the generator. A portrait can show clothing as well as the face, while a fuller-body view can give more appearance cues. Neither format guarantees an exact likeness. Keep the original file and avoid repeatedly compressing screenshots.
Can I use a group photo?
Yes. One group photo requests a shared dance scene with all the pictured people. Keep faces separated and visible; someone hidden behind another person gives the model less information to work with. If the image includes people you do not want in the video, choose a different photo or prepare an authorized crop before uploading. The number of performers in the reference clip does not limit the number requested from your photo.
Which image files work?
The uploader accepts one JPG, PNG or WebP file up to 10 MB. A supported file extension is not enough if the actual media format differs; use a normal image export from your photo editor. Check the image preview after uploading. Replacing the photo changes the identity input, while switching a template changes the requested movement and duration. Both should be reviewed before confirming another generation.
