My Stones to Castle video changed the face: what do I do?

Updated:

Short answer

Faces wander when the photo is small, dim, filtered or turned aside, and also in the far aerial shots and the high castle window. Choose a crisp, bright picture with a big face looking forward. Check a bonus preview first if your pack includes one.

Quick repairs

  • Crop in closer, so the face is big and sharp.
  • Shoot in daylight, without sunglasses or a beauty filter.
  • Choose a shot in which the subject looks into the lens.
  • Keep a single person or pet in frame.

Why it happens

The film alternates close-ups, far-off aerials and a lofty window, so the hero is often small. Sharper input gives the model something to cling to.

Questions people ask

Am I charged for a failed render?

No. A failed run refunds its credit on its own.

My cat’s coat changed shade, what helps?

Pick a photo taken in good light, where the fur colour and markings are easy to read.

Do I have to subscribe to retry?

No. Credits are bought once and last, and a full 15-second video uses 1.
