Reject a Still That Changed the Face
Hairline and jaw have to match the lock. If either moved, reject the still. A nicer face is still the wrong host.
Reject a still that changed the hairline or the jaw. Lena's lock is those two lines plus the way the eyes sit. A wool-shop frame that looks pleasant and fails either line is the wrong host. Do not approve it because the red knit is right. Clothes can change only as clothes. The face cannot come along for the ride. Compare the still with the reference before any motion. Life photos must pass the same test, because they reuse that host. A realistic face is labeled as AI. The platform label stays on the post. Hairline first, jaw second, prop out of the way, motion last. Follow the hairline from temple to temple, check jaw width and chin in the same light, move anything covering the jaw, and allow motion only on a match. The first three seconds show the matched hairline and jaw while Lena says she is the locked host. A smoother hairline or a narrower jaw is rejected before posting, even when the red knit is right. One host, fifteen to forty-five seconds, and the caption says the face is AI.
Check the hairline first
Put the still beside the lock and follow the hairline from temple to temple. Lena's wool-shop frame should match that path, including the little unevenness you already accepted. A smoother, higher, or broken hairline is a new person. Reject it. Do not average it with the good frames and hope the moving clip settles. Set the still beside the lock and trace the hairline, including the unevenness you already accepted. The first three seconds show that hairline in the wool shop while Lena says the face matches. A smoother, higher, or broken hairline is the frame you reject. Waiting for the moving clip to settle it is how a wrong host gets posted.
Then check the jaw
The jaw width and the chin should match the lock in the same light. A narrower jaw that arrived with a new sweater is a failed wardrobe change. Scro's rule on this host is that clothes change only, which you enforce by throwing out the still. Props must not cover the jaw during the check. If they do, move the prop and look again. Measure the jaw after the hairline. Props stay off the chin during the check. A wardrobe change that brought a new head is thrown out. The opening three seconds show the jaw clear of the sweater collar while she says the clothes were the only swap you allowed. A narrower jaw that arrived with a new sweater is refused.
The same test for life photos
A later life photo reuses the host only if hairline and jaw still match. A festive street is not a new identity. Approve that still before motion too. Label the realistic face as AI. Leave any platform disclosure where the app puts it. Export the vertical file only from stills that survived both checks. The life photo takes the same two tests, and it is approved before motion. The first three seconds show the errand or the shop with the matched jaw while Lena says the host is unchanged. A festive street that became a new identity is the still you reject. The caption says the face is AI.
A worked example
Lena's new wool-shop still is compared with the lock. The hairline matches and the jaw matches, so it can move. Another still in the same red knit has a narrower jaw. That one is rejected, even though the sweater looked correct. The life photo the next day is held to the same hairline and jaw. The posts are labeled as AI. Hairline, jaw, prop moved, then motion. The first three seconds show the matched face while Lena says this is the lock. The red-knit still with a narrower jaw is rejected before posting. The caption says the face is AI.
Before you post
- The hairline matches the lock.
- The jaw matches the lock.
- A mismatched still is rejected before motion.
Where Scro fits
Scro locks one host face, and a wardrobe change changes clothes only, which is why a new jaw is rejected in the still. Approve the stills before motion. Life photos reuse that host. Export at 9:16. Compare the still with the lock, approve only the match, and export after both lines agree. The first three seconds show the hairline and jaw while Lena says she is the same host. A new jaw is rejected before it moves. The caption says the face is AI.
