Step 0 — Decide person vs pet
If the subject is an adult human with consent, use the person path. If the subject is an animal you may depict, use the pet path. Mixing them (pet photo on person template) usually hurts identity lock.
Baby-style gallery clips exist as references; for any real child likeness, follow the law and platform rules — this site’s person checkout consent emphasises 18+ for person templates.
Step 1 — Prep the still
Shoot or crop so the face dominates. Prefer natural light. Remove heavy AR filters. Export JPG/PNG/WebP. Keep a second backup crop if the first render drifts.
Common failure modes (and the fix order)
Blurry identity: recrop tighter on the face, remove beauty filters, retry with refunded credits.
Wrong species/features on pet jobs: confirm you used the pet template, not the person path.
Unexpected audio: paid files include original AI ambient audio only — attach the commercial BAD TIMES track in TikTok/Reels/Shorts if that is what you want to publish with.
Timeout / provider error: wait a minute, retry once; credits should already be back. If checkout succeeded but no job appeared, check the generator status UI before buying again.
Step 2 — Generate
Go to /generator, upload, optionally add a short vibe note, accept consent, pay with Stripe. Wait for processing. Download the MP4 when ready.
Failure fix order: check credit refund → wait a minute → retry with tighter face crop → try 480p if offered → contact support@badtimesai.cc only after those steps.
Step 3 — Publish
Attach audio in TikTok/Reels/Shorts if you want the commercial song. Enable AI labeling where required. Do not claim the performance is an unaltered camera take of someone else.
Budget: Single $8.88 for one 720p attempt; Popular $16.99 if you expect retries; Creator $39.90 for batches. See /pricing.
