Hey all,

Feeling lost in the mystical land of video generation on Deepshot? Fret not, my fellow film wizards, we've got a treasure map that will guide you through the roughest terrains of our platform, answering those pesky support questions we get in our magic crystal (or, you know, our support inbox).

In the world of Deepshot, the face is the star of the show. And like any good film star, it needs its moment in the spotlight for the full duration of the video. Special emphasis on the lips—they're the real divas here. If they or the face are out of spotlight even for a microsecond—say, for instance, someone coughs, a microphone does a cameo, or the speaker gives us their best dramatic turn away from the camera—be ready to hear "Cut!". This, my friends, is a recipe for a failed video generation. We know this sounds like a strict director's rule, but we assure you, our face detection and HD generation model is about to make its debut soon. This will mean your source video will only need to include face time.

If you are someone that plans to get your video samples from YouTube, I would recommend using a tool like Cut YT, which allows you to paste in a YouTube link and download only a segement of that video.

Wondering how long you'll have to twiddle your thumbs while your video is in the makeup chair? A good rule of thumb is that it shouldn't take more than twice as long as your final video's runtime. However, if there's a red carpet event (a surge in requests), your video might take slightly longer. Patience, dear fans, good things come to those who wait!

Lovers of the 9:16 videos, we hear you! We know you want your videos to shine on the social media stage. Currently, our beta version of Deepshot requires you to do a quick costume change of your videos to 16:9 before uploading, and then back to 9:16 post-generation. We know that's like asking a film star to change outfits mid-scene, and we assure you, our next big update is going to save you from this.

Stay tuned for more updates and keep those cameras rolling!

First off, your audio files should be more 'solo artist' and less 'crowded concert'. This means we need your files to be in .mp3 format and contain only the speaker talking, with as little background noise or music as possible. Imagine you're recording a whisper in a library - that's the level of quiet we're aiming for!
