How to make a Hotel Lobby AI video
From your first photo to a finished orange-studio performance.
1. Start with the right cast
Open the workspace and choose Solo for one performer, Duet for two people or characters, or Pet duet for two animals. Solo requires one photo; the duet modes require exactly two. The first image places your performer on the left, and the second places them on the right.
2. Upload a clear reference for each performer
Choose sharp photos with even lighting and visible faces. Avoid a collage or a group shot when you can provide one subject per photo. Review the upload order before continuing.
3. Set the direction
Leave the description empty to use the orange-studio preset. Advanced settings let you choose a scene, camera move, visual style, lighting, and performance energy. Add a short description for a specific change; your written request takes priority over the preset.
4. Review the generation options
Check the available duration, output settings, and account credit requirements in the workspace. Submit when the photos and options are ready. A new conversation tracks the job and its result; generation time depends on the queue and request.
5. Save and continue
Review the completed video, download the MP4, or continue the conversation to request another version. Use Recents to return to earlier projects. If you publish with music, choose audio you have permission to use; the preset does not provide the original Hotel Lobby recording.
