How to Use Realistic Photos in Sora2 Image-to-Video: A 3-Step Guide
Background
Currently, Sora2's Image-to-Video feature has limitations when directly using realistic human photos as a reference, which significantly restricts its use cases. This guide provides a three-step workflow to cleverly bypass this limitation, enabling you to generate high-quality videos from any real-life photo.
Step 1: Stylize the Reference Image
The core of the first step is to transform the realistic human face into a stylized format that the AI can more easily recognize and process.
- Tool: SJinn's Face to Lineart Tool
- Objective: To convert the face in the photo into a line art style, making it a suitable input for Sora2.
Process:
- Upload your original reference image.
- Process it using the Face Lineart feature.

Step 2: Generate the Stylized Video
Now, we will use the stylized image from the previous step as a reference to generate a video with Sora2.
- Tool: SJinn's Sora2 Image-to-Video
- Objective: To generate a dynamically consistent video clip based on the stylized image.
Process:
- Upload the stylized image to the Sora2 Image-to-Video tool.
- Use a descriptive prompt.
Sample Prompt:
The girl introducing this perfume product, she has yellow-toned skin and black eyes.
Pro Tip:
It is crucial to specify realistic features like skin tone and eye color in your prompt. This guides the AI to generate a video with a more natural human foundation, even with the stylized input. This makes the final character replacement in the next step much more seamless and effective.
Step 3: Replace with the Realistic Character
In the final step, we will swap the stylized character in the generated video with your original, realistic person.
- Tool: SJinn's Video Character Replacement
- Objective: To seamlessly replace the animated character in the video with the real person from the original photo to achieve the final, realistic result.
Process:
- Source Video: Upload the stylized video generated by Sora2.
- Target Character Image: Upload your original realistic photo.
- Execute the replacement to generate the final video.
By following these three steps, you have successfully overcome Sora2's limitations and can now create realistic videos using real-life human photos.
