# How to create a video

Canonical guide: https://ifoundyouinthecrowdai.com/how-to-use-ai-video-maker

1. Open the [generator](https://ifoundyouinthecrowdai.com/#generator). Click or drag a photo onto each card.
2. Put the person on the balcony in the first slot and the person in the spotlight in the second. Choose clear, unobstructed portraits you have permission to use.
3. Check the photo assignments. The template uses 9:16 vertical at 480p, for 20 credits per video.
4. Click Generate Video. Guests can buy without creating an account; member credit packs require sign-in. Signed-in users with enough credits can generate directly. Otherwise choose a pack and complete payment.
5. Successful generation checkout returns to a private result page where generation starts. Save its link. Optionally enter an email on that page to receive the completed video link; an email is not required for generation. Signed-in users can also use My videos. Processing time varies with the provider queue. Refreshing does not cancel an accepted task; another submission is another paid attempt.
6. Open the completed video's details to preview, download or share. Desktop cards preview on hover.

The share action provides a page link on this website. Download a local copy promptly because source media links may expire. This is not a promise of permanent hosting. Credits are returned when generation failure is confirmed; a status-check error alone does not confirm failure.
