How to add your own images to a video
You can put your own photos in a video: your face, your product, a place. Upload the image from the script box. It becomes a reusable "element" that you mention in your script with an @ name. Scenes that mention it are generated from your photo.
How do I upload an image?
- Open the create page and switch to the Script to Video tab.
- Click the + button at the bottom left of the script box. On a wide screen you can also click the Add Image shortcut next to it.
- Click Add image and pick a photo from your device.
- Give the image a name, for example "Maya" or "MyProduct", and save it.
- AITuber inserts an @mention like
@Mayainto your script at the cursor. - Write your script around the mention. Every scene that contains the @mention uses your photo.
You upload one image at a time. To use more images, repeat the steps for each one.
What files can I upload?
Rule | Value |
|---|---|
Formats | JPG, PNG, WebP |
Maximum size | 25 MB |
Files per upload | 1 |
Why did my image quality setting change?
Two settings change automatically when your script mentions an uploaded image:
- Every image quality can use your photos, including Basic.
- Each photo used in a scene adds 3 credits to that scene, on top of the normal image cost.
- Stock footage cannot use your photos. The app switches you to AI images.
If you remove the @mention, the app switches your old settings back.
Which video types can use my photo?
Not every video type can. Check before you spend credits, because a type that cannot use your
photo will draw the thing from scratch instead, and the result will not match.
Video type | Uses your photo |
|---|---|
Faceless, with AI images or AI video | Yes |
Avatar | Yes, the character is your photo |
Stock footage | No. The app switches those scenes to AI images |
3D Talking Characters | No |
3D Talking Characters is the one that surprises people. It builds its own character and
cannot take a product photo or a reference photo. If you need your own product or person on
screen, use Faceless or Avatar instead.
Can I reuse images across videos?
Yes. Every uploaded image is saved as an element. Elements are reusable people, things, and places. Manage them at elements page. In a faceless script, or in a music video Visual Direction box, click the + button and pick Characters, Things, or Browse all to insert a saved element.
