Already in the right format

Every SpicyFrame video is vertical 9:16 MP4 with native ambient audio, so it can be uploaded to TikTok, Instagram Reels or YouTube Shorts without cropping. Download it from the studio once it is ready.

Pick the length for the platform

Five seconds is perfect for a loop or a transition. Ten seconds fits most Reels and TikTok hooks. Thirty seconds gives room for a slower, more cinematic scene; you can also chain several 5 or 10-second clips in your editing app.

Hook in the first second

Start the prompt with the strongest motion: “@Image 1 turns sharply toward the camera and smiles.” A movement in the first frames keeps people watching; a slow reveal works better for longer clips.

Add music and text in the app

The video includes ambient sound, not music. Add trending audio, captions or text overlays directly in TikTok, Instagram or CapCut. Platforms may ask you to label AI-generated content; follow their rules.

Respect people in the photo

Only post AI videos of yourself or of adults who agreed to the transformation. Do not present an AI clip as a real event, and follow each platform’s policy on synthetic media.
