Start with the intended final file. Removing an object from an image, generating a new scene and animating a portrait are different jobs even if they appear in the same creative application. Pick the relevant feature and write down the source material it needs. A subscription that looks attractive for still images may have different limits when the deliverable becomes a talking video.

The lip-sync page describes using an image or video, then adding an audio file or text. For a controlled comparison, an existing permitted voice recording removes one variable: you can compare the same words and timing across attempts. Generating both the speech and the face animation at once makes it harder to tell whether a problem originated in the voice or the video stage.

The current pricing terms give new Free users one hundred signup credits valid for twelve months. They explicitly discontinue the previous daily reset to thirty-two credits. An older review describing a renewed daily allowance can therefore lead to the wrong plan. Inspect the current account balance and the selected feature instead of scheduling a recurring production task around that older model.

The FAQ has feature-specific eligibility and credit deductions. A balance measures capacity only within the functions the plan can access; it does not grant every editing operation or video model. Read the quote for the exact duration and settings before starting. If the required export is unavailable, record that as an access limit instead of treating a playable preview as the finished deliverable.

The FAQ allows Free-tier output for personal projects and excludes commercial purposes. Paid plans have commercial-use terms subject to applicable law. That distinction matters even if a Free preview looks sufficient for the creative brief. Choose the appropriate access level before producing a client asset, and keep the plan and relevant terms with the delivery record.

Use a portrait and voice recording that you are entitled to process and publish. Paying for generation does not supply consent from a depicted person or rights in a borrowed recording. For a simple trial, use your own image and voice or another clearly permitted pair. Avoid an identifiable third party’s likeness when there is no permission for the intended talking-photo use.

Write down the duration, aspect ratio, required resolution, expected audio and whether a visible watermark is acceptable. Then inspect those controls in the selected feature and plan. The public lip-sync workflow describes creating a talking video, but it does not map every Free export condition to every model. A download requirement needs a file that can actually be saved and reopened.

After generation, inspect the file outside the product as well as in its preview. Confirm that the speech reaches the intended end, the image stays recognizable and the mouth does not jump or continue moving during a pause. A single attractive frame cannot show timing or stability. Keep the initial recording beside the output when checking whether a sentence has been cut short.

Beginner and Creator advertise different monthly allocations, and the price page shows each plan’s monthly and annual amount side by side. Compare the payment due now with the renewal arrangement rather than choosing the smallest visible monthly number. A short campaign may not justify an annual commitment, because the lower annual figure is charged as one yearly payment.

Top-up purchases begin at Creator, with Free and Beginner excluded. If the first attempt needs correction, a low remaining balance can therefore force a plan decision rather than a small extra-credit purchase. Reserve capacity for a second attempt and record the actual quote each time settings change. Rollover and expiry vary by credit category, so identify which balance is paying for the run.

1. Record the feature, model, plan, aspect ratio, resolution and displayed credit quote.
2. Upload the portrait and recording without adding unrelated music or changing the speaker.
3. Generate once and inspect the beginning, the pause and the final sentence in motion.
4. Download if allowed, reopen the file and record any visible watermark.
5. Keep the inputs, output settings and actual credit difference before considering a correction.

Accept only a file that meets the agreed duration and export specification with an identifiable speaker and usable mouth timing. Reject a truncated recording, unstable face, inaccessible download or incompatible usage rights. No completed video, quality score or observed credit deduction is claimed for this exercise.
