How to Make a Flamingo Float AI Video: Photo Guide
Identify the pool clip you want to recreate, then choose a photo that shows the person clearly. This guide separates the photo steps you can do here now from the video steps that still need an available generator.
1. Identify the version
Watch your reference through to the end. Note the rider, reaching hand and direction the float moves. A calm drift and a fall from the opposite edge are different outcomes, even when both clips use the same name.
The scene guide helps you tell them apart. Flamingo Float AI’s first launch scene is still being selected, so this guide does not promise a particular ending.
2. Choose a clear photo
- Use one person, with the face large enough to see clearly.
- Keep the head and shoulders inside the frame; include more of the upper body when possible.
- Choose even lighting. Avoid sunglasses, heavy face filters and objects covering the face.
- Use a photo you own or have permission to animate.
| Check | Use | Choose another photo if… |
|---|---|---|
| Person | One person, with the face easy to identify. | Several faces compete for attention. |
| Framing | The full head, shoulders and some upper body are visible. | The crop cuts off the forehead, chin or shoulders. |
| Light | Even light across the face. | Strong backlighting hides the face or bright glare obscures it. |
| Detail | A sharp photo without heavy beauty filters. | Sunglasses, motion blur or an object hides key features. |
The workspace accepts JPG, PNG or WebP up to 8 MB. A clear portrait is useful input, not a guarantee that a generated face will match perfectly.
3. Prepare your photo here
- Open the photo workspace and select Add photo.
- Choose the file and check its preview. To replace it, remove the current photo with the × button and select another.
- Choose your preferred quality and format. These are saved preferences; final output settings and cost are not yet confirmed.
The draft stays in this browser. Selecting a photo does not submit a video job or spend credits. Removing it or signing out clears the draft; an old draft is cleared when you return after seven days.
Current availability: video creation is not available yet. The photo preview is your selected image, not a generated scene.
If your photo is not ready
- The file is rejected: save or export a JPG, PNG or WebP and keep it at or below 8 MB. Renaming a file extension does not convert the image.
- The preview is the wrong photo: use Remove photo (×), then Add photo to choose a replacement.
- You want to continue later: return in the same browser and profile. This local draft does not transfer to another device. Private browsing or clearing site data can remove it.
- The video button is unavailable: choosing a different photo or buying credits does not enable the unfinished video flow. You can still review your photo and read the generator checklist.
For an animal photo, use the pet-specific checklist; a human portrait workflow does not establish pet support.
4. Check the video offer before paying
When choosing a working video service, check its complete example, photo rules, duration, resolution, framing, sound and credit cost. Confirm how failed jobs are handled and where to retrieve a finished result.
Read the free steps and credit explanation. If you already have an editor or another model, compare templates and generators or try the untested starting prompt.
5. Review the result before sharing
Once you have a generated video, watch it from start to finish. Check the face, hands, float shape, water motion and ending. Listen separately for dialogue, music and other sound. Save a copy before following the sharing checklist.
Common questions
Does choosing my photo start generation?
No. The current workspace prepares a local photo draft. Video creation is not yet available.
Do I need to cut out my photo?
No. Choose a clear portrait with the face and upper body visible; there is no need to add a pool float to the image.
Is this a tested generation walkthrough?
The photo steps describe the current workspace. Submission, generated output and downloads will be documented after they have been tested.
Put the photo checklist to use
Choose your portrait, inspect the preview and replace it if needed. These photo steps are available without buying credits.
