Mandem in Disguise AI video: why did the face change, and how do I fix it?

Updated:

Short answer

The face drifts when the photo is small, dark, filtered or turned away, and after the flash only the eyes show, so the model has little to hold on to. Use a sharp, well-lit, front-facing photo with the eyes clearly visible, run the free 5-second preview, and only then make the full video.

Example frame: a man in a black balaclava and a black puffer jacket standing in front of a grey brick wall after the camera flash

Quick fixes

  • Crop so the face is large and sharp.
  • Use daylight, no sunglasses and no beauty filter.
  • Pick a photo where you look at the camera.
  • Use one adult per photo.

Why it happens

After the flash the balaclava hides everything except the eyes, so the model matches your eyes, your build and your skin tone. A clearer photo gives it more to hold on to.

No. Failed runs return their credit automatically.

Will the same photo give the same result?

Not exactly. Every run differs a little, even with the same photo.
