1. Choose a clear character photo
Use a well-lit photo with a visible, unobstructed face. Avoid heavy filters, sunglasses and tiny faces in group shots. This workflow takes a character image; it does not offer a five-person casting form or automatic assignment of singer, sax and backing roles.
2. Prepare your reference clip
The reference guides the performance and movement. Upload a video or use a supported direct video link in the generator. A YouTube watch-page URL is not a direct video file. Use a clip you own or have permission to use; the original concert link on our song page is for watching the source performance.
3. Generate, preview and download
Sign in when prompted, add your photo and reference clip, and choose the available output quality. Check the price before generating. Once the task finishes, preview the result before downloading. Failed generation tasks return your generation credit.
What does template mean here?
Here it means a reference-led workflow for a desk-concert-style video. This page is a guide to our generator, not an official NPR template or a downloadable CapCut project. AI results vary; exact faces, gestures and camera cuts are not guaranteed.
Do I need CapCut or Kling?
You do not need to switch to those tools to follow our generator’s workflow. If you are looking for a specific CapCut template, it is a separate product and is not included here. Use an editor afterward if you want captions or additional cuts.
Does it include the Outstanding soundtrack?
The generator does not provide a licensed copy of Outstanding. If you add music in a publishing app, check the available track and its permissions for your intended use. The original song and performance are identified on our song page.
