A Burning Bridges AI result can differ from a showcase because the source portrait is different and the prepared template does not promise an identical frame-by-frame result for every person. The template fixes the scene and performance; your one portrait supplies the lead likeness, while the output tier controls the export resolution.
Compare the source portrait first
Look at the uploaded image and ask whether the face is clearly visible, near-front, and evenly lit. A profile, deep shadow, covered features, distant face, or strong crop changes what facial information is available. Head-and-shoulders framing with one clearly visible person is the practical recommendation. If the source image is dark or soft, the generated lead may not resemble a brighter, sharper showcase portrait as closely.
Differences in hair, facial proportions, expression, and light also make two people's results look different. A showcase is an example of the template, not evidence that another portrait will produce the same identity, movement, or appearance in every frame.
Separate fixed template elements from variable output
The configured video is 15 seconds, 16:9, and retains the template audio. Its prepared scene, performance, and edit sequence are not rewritten through a user-facing free-text prompt. Your portrait changes the represented lead, not the template's creative direction. If your goal is a different song, setting, or choreography, this fixed-template workflow may not match it.
Some variation during motion or transitions can occur in AI-generated video. A completed clip that differs visually is not the same as a failed render. Review the whole result and decide whether the likeness and overall transformation are usable for your purpose; do not infer a guaranteed match from a short preview or a single sample.
Treat resolution as a separate decision
The configured tiers are 480P for 50 credits, 720P for 100, and 1080P for 200. Moving up a tier changes the selected export detail; it does not reveal hidden facial features, correct a profile, or change the performance. If the issue is likeness, first choose a clearer portrait rather than paying more for resolution. Check the current options at the pricing page.
Choose the right next step
For a completed but unexpected result, compare the source portrait and review whether the fixed scene was what you wanted. For an unstable face, use a clearer near-front image on a later attempt and change one source factor at a time. If the job failed or no clip was delivered, check the job and credit status and contact support; that is a technical/account question rather than a showcase-matching issue.
