🔥 To animate the source portrait with the driving video, please follow these steps:

1. In the Animation Options section, we recommend enabling the do crop (source) option if faces occupy a small portion of your image.

2. Press the 🚀 Animate button and wait for a moment. Your animated video will appear in the result block. This may take a few moments.

3. If you want to upload your own driving video, the best practice:

• Crop it to a 1:1 aspect ratio (e.g., 512x512 or 256x256 pixels), or enable auto-driving by checking do crop (driving video).
• Focus on the head area, similar to the example videos.
• Minimize shoulder movement.
• Make sure the first frame of driving video is a frontal face with neutral expression.
