Explosion Walk video: the person is tiny at the start

Updated:

Short answer

The opening shows you far down the road on purpose, the way the Reel does, so you look tiny until you reach the camera. If your face still reads small at the end, switch to a close head-and-shoulders portrait and the tall 9:16 shape, where the walker gets the most room.

Questions people ask

Is a small start a mistake?

No. It's the opening of the format, and every video begins this way.

Does the wide 16:9 shape make it worse?

It can. The walker occupies less of a wide frame, so tall 9:16 usually shows the face better.

Did a tiny face use up my credits for nothing?

A finished video counts as delivered. Run the free preview first to judge the face before you spend credits.
