What should my two pictures look like for this video?

Updated:

Short answer

Use two crisp, evenly lit pictures with one adult in each, framed from the waist up or lower, faces easy to read. Both people stay close to the lens for the whole clip. Save each as JPG, PNG or WebP under 10 MB, 300 to 6000 pixels per side. Pets and children are refused.

Questions people ask

Does a selfie work for either role?

Yes, provided it is sharp. A longer shot keeps more of the body, which helps the twirl.

Do the two pictures need a matching style?

No. Different lighting and backgrounds are fine, since the studio is generated.

Why was a picture refused?

A line below the box names the problem: size, format or proportions. Correct it and retry; refusals cost nothing.

Cast the twirl and the giggle

Drop in one photo for whoever laughs and one for whoever twirls, and the studio takes care of everything else. Nothing to subscribe to, and the finished video has no watermark.
