How to make a Santa Caught on Camera AI video

Pick the right photo

• ✓Use one empty porch, front-door or living-room photo. Keep people out of the frame.
• ✓A night porch with the porch light on usually looks the most like a doorbell camera.
• ✓The face check is skipped because this template needs a place photo, not a selfie.

Photos that tend to go wrong

• ✕Photos of children — never upload them for this template.
• ✕Selfies or group photos; only the empty scene is used.
• ✕Brand logos or camera-brand stickers you do not want remade into the clip.

Steps

1. STEP 01

   Upload

   Add one clear photo of your empty porch, front door, or living room (max 5MB). Nobody in the frame. Please never upload a photo of a child.

2. STEP 02

   Generate

   Try it free once a day (watermarked 480p, first 5s), or Unlock for $4.99 (1 credit). Remake HD is $9.99 / 3 credits. Face check is skipped for empty-scene photos.

3. STEP 03

   Share

   Download the 9:16 clip. Santa speaks "Merry Christmas, everyone!" on the soundtrack bed. Keep the AI-generated label on.

If the upload or remake fails

The photo is rejected before payment

The check needs exactly one clear face in the photo. Crop out other people, move closer, and make sure the file is JPEG, PNG or WebP and under 5MB.

The remake fails after you pay

Failed jobs refund the credits automatically. Try again, or try a sharper photo if it fails twice.

The face does not look like you

A front-facing photo in even light, with no sunglasses or heavy filters, gives the model the most to work with.
