What this action does
Selfie with a lion in the savannah. You give the app a single photograph and it generates a short clip of that movement, roughly 5 seconds long. Nothing is filmed and nothing is recovered: the motion is produced from the one frame you supply.
What photo works best
Leave space behind and beside you: the lion walks into the background, so a photograph that fills every corner with a face gives it nowhere to arrive. Selfie framing at arm length, front on, outdoors, is the shape this was designed around. A calm expression in the original reads better than one already surprised.
What to expect
One photograph goes in and a short clip comes out. It is generated rather than filmed, so run it twice if the first attempt puts a hand somewhere strange; the second version will not be identical.
If the result is not convincing, the fix is almost always the photograph rather than the settings. Reshoot it wider, get more light on the face, and move the arms clear of the body. The rest of what decides the result applies to every action here, and the limits apply to this one too.
