Crazy Frog AI: why the face changed and what to do

Updated:

In short

Faces drift when the model can't make them out. Give it a sharp, well-lit photo facing the lens, the face filling about a third of the frame, with no sunglasses or heavy filters, and check it in the free 5-second preview. Results also vary a little between runs.

Quick questions

Is a drifting face a failed render?

No. A failure is a render that never completes, and its credit is returned automatically. A finished video with a different-looking face is a normal outcome.

Do I need a better camera?

Light and angle matter more. A phone photo by a window, facing the lens, beats a dim one from a nicer camera.

Can I give it two photos of the same person?

No, only one. Pick the clearest.

Your turn on the bike

One photo does it. Nothing to subscribe to, and the finished clip has no watermark.
