Why the photo matters more than any setting
The video model has to invent the movement of your arm and hand from a single frame. Everything it cannot see, such as a cropped elbow or a hand behind your back, it has to guess, and guesses show up as odd fingers or a heart that never forms.
You do not have to be doing the pose already
Upload an ordinary photo with your arms relaxed. The generator handles the flex, the reach and the curl. A photo where your arms are already crossed or flexed can actually make the motion harder to read.
Sleeves, outfits and backgrounds
The heart is drawn by the outline of your upper arm and fingers, so anything that hides that outline hurts. Short sleeves work best. Simple backgrounds help the model keep the arm edge sharp; busy patterns behind you can blend into the hand.
Uploading someone else: consent first
Only upload photos of yourself or of adults who clearly agreed to be in an AI video. Agreeing to an upload is not the same as agreeing to be posted, so ask again before you share the clip. Photos of minors, celebrities and public figures are not allowed.
We cannot check age, identity or consent from a picture. That responsibility stays with the person uploading.
