Cheba Man guide
How to make a Cheba Man AI dance video
Upload one photo to cast the center dancer in a red-lit stage scene. The included reference guides the routine; the surrounding crowd remains part of the scene.
See the Cheba Man example and generatorWhich person does my photo replace?
The uploaded person takes the central dancer's role. Spectators, raised phones, overhead lights and the red stage remain part of the reference scene. The tool does not offer separate photo slots for the crowd.
The dancer may shift position on screen, so judge the result by the dancing role rather than assuming the subject must stay on one side of the frame.
Choose a photo that shows the look you want to keep
Use one sharp, well-lit photo of a single person. A visible face, hair and upper body help the model carry those features into the dance. Show more of your clothes if the outfit matters; a tight headshot gives less information about the jacket or sleeves.
Avoid a group crop, sunglasses, heavy filters or hands hiding the face. The still photo supplies appearance, not choreography, so you do not need to pose like the dancer.
What do 5, 10 and 15 seconds change?
The included movement reference is a 15-second opening excerpt. Choose 5 seconds for a quick first check of likeness, 10 for more of the arm and shoulder routine, or 15 for the longest supported segment. The selection changes how much of the opening you use; it does not loop a five-second take into a longer dance.
Video generation uses paid credits. Check the displayed cost for the duration and quality you choose before submitting.
Do I need to upload a dance or write a prompt?
No extra dance video is needed. The workbench includes the reference movement. Start with one photo and the existing routine; add a short optional note only for a specific change, such as preserving a jacket color.
Requests for a different set or choreography can make the result less faithful to the reference. Review the first take before asking for a focused change.
Open the Cheba Man workbenchHow do I check and fix the result?
Watch the face during turns, the hands near the head, the visible outfit and whether the center dancer stays the same person. If likeness slips, try a clearer front-facing photo. If clothing changes, show more of the outfit and ask to keep its color and shape. If movement strays, remove requests for a new routine.
When audio is enabled, the original reference soundtrack is attached at export. Listen to the downloaded MP4; sound and generated movement may not land on every beat. A revised take is another generation and uses credits.
Quick checklist
- Upload one clear person photo.
- Keep the included dance for the first take and choose 5, 10 or 15 seconds.
- Check the center dancer's face, outfit, hands and exported audio.
Before you continue
- Only the center dancer is recast; the crowd is scene context.
- Use 5 seconds to inspect identity before a longer take.
- Change one visible issue at a time when revising.
