Template families explained

Gallery categories sound like genres. Functionally they are motion magnitudes, and that is the axis that decides whether your clip survives.

Idle and portrait templates

The safest family. Movement is limited to breathing, blinking, micro-expressions and a small head turn. Artefacts are rare, identity hold is strong, and the result rarely surprises. Start here when your source photo is a portrait.

Turn and pose templates

Adds torso rotation. This is where the model must invent geometry it never saw — the far side of the body. Expect some drift at the extremes and prefer sources where the subject is already three-quarters turned.

Camera-motion templates

The subject stays comparatively still while the frame moves. This family hides limb artefacts well, because hands stay out of the moving area, but it exposes background boiling instead.

Transition and wardrobe templates

The dramatic family, and the hardest. The model has to hold identity across a change of clothing or setting. These are also the templates most adult generators charge for first, so test with the shortest render available.

Category is a risk setting, not a genre. Choose the lowest magnitude that still tells the story you want.

Matching magnitude to source

A busy, wide source photo needs a low-magnitude template. A clean portrait can survive a high-magnitude one. Inverting that rule is the most reliable way to burn credits quickly.
