How to Make AI Baby Videos

This guide walks you through the simplest workflow: pick the right method, use a clear input (photo or prompt), set the right ratio, and generate. Follow the steps first—then reuse the worked examples below.

Quick Steps

A fast checklist you can follow in under a minute.

Open the tool
  1. 1
    Open the Baby Video tool.
  2. 2
    Pick a method: Photo→Video (more consistent) or Prompt→Video (more creative).
  3. 3
    Use a clear, front-facing photo OR write a short motion-focused prompt.
  4. 4
    Set aspect ratio (9:16 for TikTok/Shorts) and keep duration short (start with 5s).
  5. 5
    Generate, then iterate: improve crop/lighting and simplify motion if needed.
  6. 6
    Export and post (add captions for better retention).

Tips

  • Keep motion simple (blink, smile, wave). Complex actions increase artifacts.
  • Tighten the crop so the face is larger, but include shoulders to reduce wobble.
  • Use clean backgrounds and good lighting for more realistic faces.
  • Change one variable per iteration (prompt OR crop OR ratio) to learn faster.

FAQ

Which method is best for realistic results?▼
Photo→Video is usually more consistent for realistic faces, especially when you start from a sharp baby photo.
What aspect ratio should I use?▼
Use 9:16 for TikTok/Shorts. Use 16:9 for YouTube. Match your target platform from the start.
Why does the face look unstable or blurry?▼
Most issues come from low-quality inputs or tight/incorrect crops. Use a clearer photo, keep the face centered, and reduce motion complexity.
