My Smalltown Boy AI video shows two identical-looking characters. What can I do?

Updated:

Short answer

Look-alike subjects can get blended by the model. Choose two clearly different portraits, such as a ginger cat and a grey one, or two people in different outfits and places. Never use one portrait twice. Still have your free 5-second preview? Test the pair there first.

Usual causes

  • One photo used for both roles. The model can't tell them apart.
  • Close colours. Two black cats on a dark sofa blur together.
  • Two subjects sharing a photo. One of them may get copied into both roles.
  • Tiny subjects. Far from the lens, both turn into blobs.

What to try

  • Choose two different photos with one subject each.
  • Pick different backgrounds.
  • Show each subject large and turned toward the camera.
  • Free preview still unspent? Check the pair there before the full render.

Questions people ask

Can both roles share one photo?

Better not. Both would look identical and the model could fuse them into one.

Is a merged look the same thing as a failed video?

No. A failure is a run that never finished, and its credits come back on their own. Characters that look alike in a finished video are a normal outcome.

Should I pick different breeds?

Yes. Clear differences in colour and shape keep them apart.
