A quick answer
Start with your own images or a saved person. Generative modes can alter facial details. To keep the person unchanged, select a frame from your video file and add text in original-image mode.
Your reference
Choose a clear photograph with a recognisable face.
Save the person
Reuse the person in later projects.
Keep a real frame
Preserve a moment you actually filmed.
How to approach it
Check permission
Use your own photo or an authorised image.
Choose a reference
Pick a sharp image with clear lighting.
Select the mode
Choose a generated scene or an original frame.
Compare the face
Review eyes, mouth and expression against the original.
Prepare a suitable reference
The face, hair and outline should be visible. If glasses, shadows or text hide important features, choose another photo.
For guests, obtain permission for the intended use. A reference image cannot substitute for consent.
Review recognition
A saved person makes reuse easier but does not guarantee identical facial details in AI images.
Inspect the export when small too. An appropriate expression and room for text matter alongside likeness.
Good to know
Will my face always be exactly the same?
AI generation cannot guarantee that. Original-image mode avoids regenerating the person in your chosen frame.
Can I use a guest's photograph?
Use it only with the necessary rights and permission.
