Photo 1 is the adult or pet who wears headphones, removes them after being spoken to and stays in the elevator at the end.
Photo 2 is the adult or pet who starts with “I love The Smiths,” sings along and walks out of the elevator at the end.

Faces do not look enough like us

Use a clear, front-facing photo with one adult or one pet and even lighting. Get each person’s consent. Replace side profiles, sunglasses, masks or blurred photos; minors, celebrities, public figures and group photos are not accepted. Hair, fur, clothing and backgrounds can change. Pets follow their photo appearance, with looser mouth movements and poses than humans. Likeness is not guaranteed; check your completed result before sharing.

Mouth movements or sound seem off

Both mouths are animated to the scene’s original sound. Timing and lip sync can still drift by a moment. Pets follow their photo appearance, with looser mouth movements and poses than humans. Try a front-facing, unobscured photo and check that the player is unmuted. This version has no voice selector, custom dialogue, song replacement, mute setting or prompt box.

The two characters are in the wrong roles

Photo 1 is the headphone wearer on the left; Photo 2 is the speaker on the right. Use Swap the two photos before generating. Swapping does not change a video that has already been created. When returning from sign-in, verify that the restored photos still match the labels.

The portrait composition crops a face

Native 9:16 rebuilds the elevator scene vertically; it is not a blurred-background export. Generative framing can still vary. Use portraits with space around each head and check the completed video. You can choose 16:9 for a wider composition before generating.

The video is taking longer than expected

Delivery time varies with demand, duration and resolution. Longer videos may take longer. You can close the page and check My videos later; an email notifies you on completion. Avoid starting another purchase just because the progress screen has not updated.

Generation failed or checkout was interrupted

Failed generation automatically returns reserved credits and is not charged. Check credit history while a refund is processing. For an interrupted checkout, sign in with the original purchasing account and retry the payment check. If still unresolved, contact contact@ilovethesmithsaivideo.com with the order number; never send card details.

Will the generated adults or pets look like our photos?

Clear, front-facing photos of one adult or one pet, with even lighting, give the model a better view of each face. Likeness is not guaranteed: hair, fur, clothing and backgrounds may change. Side profiles, sunglasses, masks and blurry images work poorly; group photos are not accepted. Watch real homepage samples before paying and check your completed video carefully before sharing it.

Does it match the lip movements and can I change the dialogue?

Both mouths are animated to the scene’s original sound, line by line, but exact lip sync is not guaranteed. Clear, front-facing portraits give it a better starting point. Pets follow their photo appearance, with looser mouth movements and poses than humans. There is no prompt input, voice selector, custom dialogue, replacement song or mute setting in the generator.

How long is the video and how long does delivery take?

Every video is the full 25-second scene. Delivery time varies with demand and settings, and higher resolutions may take longer. You can close the page: an email notifies you when the video is ready in My videos. Avoid duplicate purchases while waiting.

What happens if generation fails?

Credits are reserved when generation starts and automatically returned if generation fails. A failed render is not charged. If the refund is still processing, check My videos and your credit history before retrying. If a payment return cannot be confirmed, use the payment check again rather than starting another purchase.
