Bad Times AI Portrait Framing

Bad Times AI: Frame people and pets for a 9:16 dance video. Leave space around the subjects and keep faces and limbs visible.

Written and maintained by Bad Times AI · Updated

Which frame does Bad Times AI use?

The current generator requests 9:16 portrait output for every template. There is no landscape-versus-portrait selector in the public creation flow. Reference previews may have different source proportions; the preview player uses containment so the entire reference remains visible. Black space around a preview is a fitting treatment rather than missing video content.

How can a group fit in portrait?

A group image supplies the identities, while the provider needs to compose them together in the requested portrait scene. Avoid a photo in which important subjects are already cropped out. Leave space for hands and movement and make sure smaller faces are still readable. Review the generated scene to confirm that everyone stays visible. A reference with one performer can still guide a group-dance request.

Can I crop after downloading?

You can use your own video editor to crop a saved file for a different destination, but a crop cannot recover detail outside the generated frame. Keep an unedited copy before making changes. If several people appear, watch the complete cropped clip to check that no face or important gesture leaves the visible region. The website does not currently promise an in-browser reframing tool.

How is the price calculated?

What photos should I upload?

What will I receive?

Choose from five 13.09–15-second templates. Upload one portrait or group photo to request a 14–15-second 480p portrait MP4. Each video uses 20 credits. AI appearance and movement may vary; the selected template’s original soundtrack is added automatically.

Are the previews generated results?

The gallery shows three actual generated videos with their original template soundtracks. The template selector shows the original choreography references. Results vary with the uploaded photo.

What if generation fails?

Confirmed generation failures restore your ability to retry. This is separate from a cash refund.

Which photos can I upload to this tool?

Upload one JPG, PNG or WebP photo up to 10 MB. Portraits and group photos are supported. Keep every face clear and unobstructed. The people in your photo determine the requested cast, while the chosen template supplies movement.

Is this tool free to generate?

The current free-generation allowance is 0 videos. You can preview reference templates without payment. Generating a video is a one-time purchase, with the selected duration and amount shown before checkout. There is no automatic renewal.

How does this tool process photos and drafts?

When generation is submitted, the photo is sent to the configured AI provider. Your browser may save a photo and template draft for 24 hours after its last save; expired drafts are removed when next read. Keep private result links confidential.

Does this tool add a watermark?

The generation request specifies no added watermark, text or logos. This is an output requirement rather than a guarantee about an unverified result. Review the complete clip before sharing.
