# How to create a video

Canonical guide: https://hittheroaddude.dev/how-to-use-hit-the-road-dude-ai-video-generator

1. Open the [generator](https://hittheroaddude.dev/#generator). Click or drag one photo onto the upload card.
2. Select one clear, unobstructed character photo you have permission to use.
3. Check your selected photo. The template uses 9:16 portrait at 480p, using one attempt per video.
4. Click Generate Video. Guests can buy without creating an account; all three packs have the same prices with or without an account. Signed-in users with remaining video attempts can generate directly. Otherwise choose a pack and complete payment.
5. Successful generation checkout returns to a private result page where generation starts. Save its link. Signed-in users can also use My videos. Processing time varies with the provider queue. Refreshing does not cancel an accepted task; another submission is another paid attempt.
6. Open the completed video's details to preview with sound, download or share. Cards automatically preview silently. Hover reveals the centered result button; touch devices always show it. Clicking opens a result dialog with sound. The page does not scroll automatically.

The share action provides a page link on this website. Download a local copy promptly because source media links may expire. This is not a promise of permanent hosting. A video attempt is restored when generation failure is confirmed; a status-check error alone does not confirm failure.
