Get a better result
A vertical 8-second handheld clip of a reporter and a passer-by on a busy street, with the person laughing and answering your line over natural traffic and crowd sound.
The words come out wrong, or the lips do not match them.
Fix: Keep each spoken line short, under about 12 words, and inside quotes. Veo lip-syncs quoted lines best.
- The background crowd looks repeated or strangely empty. Name street details: “auto-rickshaws, a tea stall, a bus passing”. Specific objects give the crowd variety.
- The microphone shows an unreadable logo. Add “a plain black microphone with no logo”. Writing on small objects often comes out as gibberish.
- The answer does not fit in eight seconds. Time yourself reading both lines aloud. If they take more than six seconds, shorten them: the clip also needs room for the laugh and the street sound.
Swap the city and the person for your own setting, such as “Jaipur bazaar” and “shopkeeper in a turban”, and change the question to one your followers would want to answer.
Clear audio. The person speaks slowly and their lips match the words exactly.
