A supported image
Use one JPG, PNG, or WebP no larger than 10 MB. Keep the person, legs, and both shoes fully inside the frame.
Practical photo-to-dance guide
How to make a Tip Toe video from one photo.
Use this checklist to choose a better source image, direct the setting without overwriting the built-in movement, pick the right resolution, and handle common generation problems.
1 full-body photo
5-second 9:16 MP4
480P or 768P
The generator is intentionally focused. It accepts one reference image and uses a built-in tip-toe movement, so input quality matters more than a long choreography prompt.
Before you start
Prepare the photo, the idea, and the rights.
The generator is intentionally focused. It accepts one reference image and uses a built-in tip-toe movement, so input quality matters more than a long choreography prompt.
A short scene idea
Plan a location, lighting style, camera direction, and mood. The prompt can be up to 600 characters.
Permission to use the photo
Only upload an adult you have the right and informed permission to depict in an AI-generated video. Images of minors are prohibited.
Step by step
From source photo to downloadable dance clip.
These steps match the live generator and its current five-second vertical output.
Open the generator- 01
Choose a clear full-body photo
Use an upright subject with the entire body and both shoes visible. Even lighting, a simple background, and one main person give the model clearer visual information.
- 02
Upload the image
Open the generator and select your JPG, PNG, or WebP. Confirm that the preview is not cropped and that the file is within the 10 MB limit.
- 03
Describe the scene and camera
Write a compact prompt for the location, lighting, framing, camera movement, and mood. The core tip-toe movement is already included, so you do not need to choreograph every step.
- 04
Choose 480P or 768P
Use 480P for a one-credit draft or 768P for a sharper two-credit render. Confirm the rights and adult-consent checkbox before submitting.
- 05
Preview and download promptly
Generation runs asynchronously and can take longer when providers are busy. When it succeeds, review the five-second MP4 and download it before the signed result link expires after 24 hours.
Example inputPhoto checklist
Give the model an unambiguous person to animate.
A clean source photo cannot guarantee a perfect result, but it removes common sources of confusion before the video model starts.
Prefer
- One adult subject facing the camera or at a slight angle
- The full body, legs, ankles, and both shoes visible
- Even light, useful contrast, and a simple background
- A natural standing pose with space around the body
Avoid
- Feet, legs, or the top of the head cropped out
- Heavy motion blur, deep shadow, or a very small subject
- Multiple people overlapping in the same frame
- Hands, furniture, or clothing hiding the legs and shoes
Prompt method
Direct the world around the dance, not every footstep.
A useful formula is: place + lighting + camera + mood. Keep directions compatible and concrete; the built-in instruction already guides the central movement.
Prompt formula
Place + lighting + camera movement + mood
Clean studio
“Minimal white studio, soft floor shadow, centered camera, clean commercial lighting.”
Neon walkway
“Neon-lit sneaker walkway, low tracking camera, orange and violet light, playful confident mood.”
City rooftop
“Blue-hour rooftop, slow camera push, glowing skyline behind the subject, cinematic contrast.”
Do not ask for several incompatible locations or rapid scene changes in a five-second clip. Short, coherent direction is easier to interpret.
Resolution choice
Choose a draft or a sharper final render.
Both options create the same five-second, 9:16 MP4 format. The difference is resolution and credit cost.
480P
1 creditFast drafts and testing a source photo
Start here when you want to check motion, framing, and prompt direction with the lower credit cost.
768P
2 creditsA sharper export after the setup is ready
Choose this when the source photo and direction are settled and you want more detail in the final MP4.
Troubleshooting
Fix the input before spending another credit.
AI video is probabilistic, so no adjustment guarantees a particular result. These checks address the most common input problems.
The feet look unstable or leave the frame
Use a wider full-body source image with both shoes separated from the frame edge and clearly visible.
The subject changes appearance
Try a sharper, evenly lit photo with fewer obstructions and a simpler background. Avoid tiny faces or strong blur.
The scene ignores the prompt
Remove conflicting instructions. Keep one location, one lighting idea, one camera direction, and one mood.
The job fails
Wait for the status to finish before retrying. A failed generation is designed to return the credits reserved for that job automatically.
The download link no longer works
Signed result links expire after 24 hours. Download successful MP4 files promptly rather than treating the service as permanent storage.
Before publishing
Finish the clip without creating a rights problem.
The downloaded MP4 is a visual source. A specific song is not promised, and you remain responsible for how the video is edited and published.
- Download the MP4 while its signed link is active.
- Only add music, footage, logos, or text that you have permission to use.
- Follow the current rules of TikTok, Instagram, YouTube, or any other publishing platform.
- Disclose AI generation when context, platform rules, or applicable law requires it.
- Do not imply that Nike, Jordan Brand, a film, artist, or other rights holder endorses the output.
Guide FAQ
Questions that come up during the workflow.
Do I need a video or motion reference?
No. The current generator accepts one still JPG, PNG, or WebP and uses a built-in instruction for the central tip-toe movement.
How long should the prompt be?
The prompt is optional and limited to 600 characters. A short, coherent description of place, lighting, camera, and mood is usually more useful than a list of conflicting ideas.
Should I start with 480P or 768P?
480P costs 1 credit and is useful for a draft. 768P costs 2 credits and is better when you want a sharper render after the photo and prompt are ready.
How long does generation take?
Generation is asynchronous and often takes minutes, but there is no fixed completion-time guarantee. Provider demand and the individual job can affect the wait.
Does the result include music?
A specific song or soundtrack is not promised. Only add audio that you have the right to use where you publish the video.
What happens if the generation fails?
A failed job is designed to return the credits reserved for that generation automatically. A successfully produced video is not refundable only because you dislike its appearance.
Ready to use the checklist?
Start with one clear, fully framed photo.
Open the live generator, upload an eligible adult photo, and choose 480P or 768P when you are ready to render.
