Two separate photos to a rap duet: a practical portrait checklist
Prepare both performers, check consent and review identity throughout your Hotel Lobby video.
You do not need a photo of both people together. For Hotel Lobby AI Filter, upload one separate portrait per performer. A clear face in each photo gives the model more usable information, but cannot guarantee that both identities remain consistent throughout the resulting video.
Check each portrait separately
Use JPG, PNG or WebP, up to 10 MB per image. Choose a photo with one clearly visible person, even lighting and a face large enough to inspect. Avoid group photos, motion blur, deep facial shadows, sunglasses or objects covering the mouth. A screenshot with an already blurred face is not repaired by choosing a higher video resolution.
A practical comparison: a well-lit individual portrait gives a clearer facial reference than a small face cropped out of a group shot. This is input guidance, not a measured guarantee of improved output. If you need a faithful likeness for an important use, do not assume an AI animation will meet that requirement.
Get permission before uploading
Use your own photos or portraits you have permission to process. Make sure your friend agrees to this specific use. A familiar character or public figure is not automatically a permitted substitute. This guide addresses human portraits; it does not claim validated support for pets or every illustration style.
Photo selection shows a local image preview. A generation job uploads the inputs to the video provider for processing. Local drafts can be restored after sign-in for up to 24 hours. See the privacy policy for source-file deletion, third-party processing and retention; a local draft is different from a provider's stored copy.
Verify the two upload slots
Inspect the first and second performer before submitting, and use the swap control if their order is wrong. Choose resolution and either 9:16 vertical or 16:9 landscape. You do not need to write an appearance prompt: the orange stage, microphone and original Hotel Lobby excerpt are preset. A user-written description is not a reliable fix for identity drift, and this workflow does not expose a custom prompt field.
Sign-in and sufficient credits are required: 480P uses 20, 720P uses 45 and 1080P uses 80 credits. Registration includes no complimentary credits. Compare pack costs before starting. Processing takes several minutes; check an existing task in My videos before submitting it again.
Review identity from start to finish
Watch the approximately 15-second result with sound, including turns, fast movement and the final seconds. Check that both performers stay recognizable, neither switches identity, the framing is acceptable, and the sound continues through the ending. The opening frame alone is not an identity-consistency test.
Changing a covered or shaded portrait may help the next attempt, but it cannot promise a fix. Higher resolution improves the selected output setting; it is not a guarantee against face changes. A new attempt uses credits unless the original task is confirmed failed. A completed result you dislike and a technically failed task are different cases.
Save and verify the downloaded file
Confirmed historical payment unlocks account-owned saved MP4 downloads at the generated resolution. Videos are kept for seven days. Open the saved file to check picture and sound; successful browser playback alone does not verify a downloaded file. Read the music guide before posting and contact support if a result is inaccessible.
