Staff Outfit Lock for the Week
Keep the same person and the same apron knot all week. Approve the still each time the clothes appear.
Lock the staff outfit for the week: the same person, and the apron knot tied the same way, on the same side. A new knot, a new apron color, or a new face makes Tuesday look like a different shop. Lock the face first. The apron is clothes, and clothes are the only thing that should have been chosen on purpose. Approve every still against the first morning before it moves. If the host looks real, say the host is AI. Life photos later in the week reuse this person in this apron. Photograph the apron knot on the left, lock the window-lit face, and compare both every morning before the still moves. Keep one speaker. A practical reel is 15–45 seconds. The first 3 seconds show the same person with the knot on the same side, and they say the shop line. Reject a knot that jumped hips, a shinier apron you did not schedule, or a narrowed jaw under a perfect uniform. If the face or the voice could be mistaken for a real person, the caption must say it is AI, and the platform label stays visible.
Photograph the knot
The knot is the continuity object. Show it at the back or the side, in the same place, with the same loops. If a still flips the knot to the other hip, reject it. Describe the apron color in plain words and keep that color. A cleaner, shinier apron is a wardrobe change you did not schedule. Show the loops in the same place, describe the apron color in plain words, and reject a flip to the other hip. The first 3 seconds show that knot and say the shop line. Do not post a cleaner wardrobe change you did not plan.
Face first, cloth second
Compare eyes, nose, jaw, and hairline with the locked still before you judge the apron. A perfect uniform on a new head is a failed day. Change clothes only when you mean to, and the apron is that change, already decided. Do not also change the hair to match a mood. Compare eyes, nose, jaw, and hairline before you judge the cloth, and do not change the hair to match a mood. In the first 3 seconds the face matches the first morning and the voice says the line. Reject a new head in the right apron.
Approve every morning
Motion keeps the face and the knot you approved. Check both on a phone. Life photos can reuse this host in this outfit once the still matches. Label the realistic face as AI, and leave the platform label visible. The week should look like one person who came to work. Check face and knot on a phone, then allow motion, and reuse this host in this outfit for a life photo only when both match. In the first 3 seconds, viewers see one person who came to work and hear the shop line. Throw out the morning where the knot and the jaw both drifted.
A worked example
A cafe host locks a window-lit face and a natural apron knot on the left side. Each morning's still is compared with that frame. One day the knot jumped to the right and the jaw narrowed, so that still is rejected. The posted days match, and each caption says the host is AI. Compare each morning with the left-side knot and the locked face, and reject the day the knot jumped right. The first 3 seconds show the apron and the same face and say the shop line. One speaker, 15–45 seconds. If the face looks real, the caption says the host is AI, and the platform label stays in place.
Before you post
- Keep the apron knot on the same side.
- Match the locked face every morning.
- Label the realistic host as AI.
Where Scro fits
Scro locks one host face and lets you change clothes only, which is how the apron stays a decision instead of a new person. Approve stills before motion. Life photos can reuse that host. Export 9:16, and label the realistic face as AI. Treat the apron as the clothes change you already decided, approve the still, then export 9:16. The first 3 seconds show the same knot and say the shop line. Reject a new person. If the face or voice could be mistaken for a real person, the caption says it is AI.
Lock the apron. Finished samples are on the examples page.
