01 — Use Cases
Where this tool fits
These pages are built for fast, single-asset workflows. The strongest results come from picking the tool that matches your intent, then choosing a style that fits the channel.
- 01
Turn a headshot and short voice recording into a LinkedIn intro video for your profile, outreach, or hiring page.
- 02
Create founder, recruiter, or consultant videos when you want a polished talking-head clip without booking a camera setup.
- 03
Test multiple short openings for sales outreach, job applications, or personal brand posts without reshooting yourself.
- 04
Produce vertical talking-head assets for LinkedIn, email embeds, or landing pages from the same profile photo.
02 — Input Quality
What makes a good headshot
Input quality still matters. A strong source image gives the motion model room to create believable movement and avoid the jitter that comes from weak photos.
Use a front-facing photo with your full face visible, even lighting, and enough shoulder framing to feel natural in motion.
Pick a sharp image with a neutral or tidy background so lip-sync and facial movement stay believable.
Choose a photo that already matches the tone you want to project: formal, warm, confident, or energetic.
Avoid sunglasses, heavy shadows, strong side angles, or cropped chins. Those usually break the illusion fastest.
03 — Style Guide
Choosing the right presentation tone
You do not need a free-form prompt here. The main creative choice is picking the preset that matches your use case and publishing surface.
Friendly & Approachable
Use this for networking, creator-style posts, client outreach, and welcome videos. It softens the delivery and makes short personal intros feel less scripted.
Energetic & Motivational
Choose this when you want more momentum for launches, keynote promos, coaching content, or founder updates that need a little more urgency in the delivery.
