Creating a Popstar AI video involves four practical steps: choose one clear portrait, upload and inspect it, select a resolution, and generate the fixed-template clip. The result is a 12-second vertical video, while the performance and audio are supplied by the template.
| Step | Action | Check before moving on |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Prepare one portrait | Face is clear, front-facing, and authorized for use |
| 2 | Upload and preview | Intended subject is visible and not cropped |
| 3 | Choose a tier | Confirm 45 / 90 / 180 credits for 480P / 720P / 1080P |
| 4 | Generate and review | Watch the full 12-second, 9:16 clip before sharing |
1. Prepare the source image
Use one sharp portrait of a person with the face nearly front-facing (avoid turns greater than about 30 degrees), shoulders visible, and light spread evenly across the face. Avoid obstruction, heavy filters, hard shadows, and distant group shots. Only use an image you are authorized to upload. Before opening the studio, check that the head is not cut off and that the face is large enough to distinguish; a new export tier cannot restore detail absent from the original.
2. Upload and check the preview
Open the Popstar AI studio and load the portrait into the single input. Check that the intended subject is visible and correctly framed. Replace a blurry, occluded, or strongly angled photo before spending credits. This is a fixed prepared performance rather than a prompt-driven editor: the input portrait identifies the lead, while the template provides the performance and audio.
3. Select an output tier
The configured choices are 480P, 720P, and 1080P. They cost 45, 90, and 180 credits per render. The tiers change export resolution; they do not change the performance or make the input portrait clearer. Verify current options on the pricing page.
4. Generate and inspect the video
Start the render and review the full 12-second result. Look at the face during movement, check that the subject remains recognizable, listen to the retained template audio, and confirm that the 9:16 composition works for your planned post. If an issue is visible, distinguish a source-photo problem (such as a hidden feature or poor lighting) from a fixed-template limitation. Changing resolution will not change the choreography, scene, audio, or framing choices.
5. Share it responsibly
Treat the result as AI-generated media, not real footage of an artist. Get permission before using someone else’s likeness and consider the rights and context for any audio before publishing. If the fixed template does not match your intended use, do not assume additional photos or a text prompt can customize it; check the contact page for product questions.
