Photo to Music Video
Two stills become a moving, singing, rapping performance — no filming, no editing timeline.
Photo to music video usually means animating one picture. LobbyDuo does something more specific: it takes two photos and produces a rap performance, with both faces moving on the beat and the studio’s own original soundtrack playing. You choose the set, the orientation and the length, and the finished MP4 is ready in about five to ten minutes for 50 credits at 15 seconds and Standard 2K.
From a still frame to a performance
The jump from a photo to a performance is all in the timing. Instead of a generic “make this image move” instruction, LobbyDuo asks for specific performance cues — mouths opening and closing on the vocal rhythm, subtle head bobs on the beat, small gestures at chest height, natural blinking — and synchronises them to an actual audio track rather than an imagined one. The clip is one continuous, static take, so the two faces stay anchored in frame and the motion reads as performance instead of drift. The result is a still photo that genuinely performs.
Which photos work best
The best inputs are front-facing photos with a clear, well-lit face, both eyes open, no heavy occlusion and no other people in frame. Sunglasses, extreme angles, motion blur and group shots all reduce how faithfully the identity is carried over. Portrait or square photos are ideal, but the browser downscales anything large to a 1024-pixel long edge before upload, which both speeds up the request and keeps the input clean for the model. Snapshots straight from a phone front camera are usually all you need.
Horizontal or vertical
The same two photos can be rendered either way. Horizontal 16:9 gives you a wide music-video frame for YouTube, a website embed or a big-screen recap. Vertical 9:16 fills a phone screen and is the right pick for Reels, Shorts and TikTok, where the two performers stack naturally in the tall frame. The credit cost is identical for both orientations, so the choice is purely about where the video will live. You can render the same pair in both formats if you want a wide cut and a phone cut.
What it costs and what happens to your photos
At Standard 2K a 5-second clip is 20 credits, 10 seconds is 35 and 15 seconds is 50; the lighter 768p quality is 10, 15 and 20. The pricing table lists the exact credits for each option currently offered. Credits are bought in one-time packs — $9.99 for 50, $24.99 for 150, $59.99 for 500 — and never expire. Your photos are sent to our provider only to render the video and are deleted there within 24 hours; we never store them. If a render is confirmed failed, the credits are restored automatically.
