Turning one photo into a Cardo Dinner video

Photo to table, step by step

• Open the generator on the template page. Fill the diner box with a crisp picture of a single adult or pet, eyes open and head and shoulders showing.
• Add a feeder if you like. The second box is optional, and only the hand and arm are used.
• Choose the table and the snack. The defaults are a home dining room and a fried mozzarella stick. Five other tables and four other snacks are on offer.
• Choose the nails and the light. Red nails and warm light are the defaults, and each has four other options. Pick 9:16 or 16:9.
• Give consent and sign in with Google.
• Check a bonus preview (5 seconds, 480p) for the face and for the cheese.
• Render the full clip. It takes 1 credit and lands in My videos as an MP4.

The beats built in

The first two seconds are the empty table, the next two are the hand arriving, the following four are the bite and the stretch, and the last two are the snap and the nod.
