How to Make the Drake Burning Bridges AI Video With Your Own Face

By the Encorette team · Updated 2026-10-13

You have seen the chandelier party clip, and now you want a version starring you. On Encorette, your Burning Bridges AI video is generated from your real face using one selfie. The party scene is already set up: you do not need to find the source footage, write a prompt or learn a video editor.

This is a walkthrough of the actual product, from opening the Burning Bridges AI video generator to saving the finished MP4. Have a clear photo and a Google account ready. Generation is paid, and the video usually takes about seven minutes after you start it.

What your finished video looks like

Encorette makes a 15-second video of the Burning Bridges chandelier party scene with you as the host. The room, the crowd and the handheld camera movement provide the setting. Your uploaded photo gives the model the face it uses to generate your appearance in the clip.

The output is a landscape, 16:9 MP4 with no watermark. You can choose 768p or 1080p and decide whether to include the original sound before generation. This is a preset experience: the scene and duration are already chosen, so your main decisions are the selfie, the quality and the audio setting.

Before buying credits, watch the example on the home page. It shows the scene and format you are making. A selfie does not guarantee an identical likeness in every frame, and a clear, well-lit photo gives the model a better starting point.

Step 1: Open Encorette and sign in with Google

Go to the Encorette generator in your browser. You can use a phone or a computer; there is no app to install. Select Sign in with Google to start and finish signing in with the Google account you want to use for your purchases and videos.

Use that same account when you come back later. Your credit balance and finished clips belong to it. If you sign in with a different account, you will see that account’s balance rather than the credits you already purchased.

New accounts begin with zero credits. If the upload action takes you to pricing, choose a pack first, finish checkout and return to the generator. You can view the example without purchasing, but there is no free generation or free preview of your own video.

Step 2: Buy a one-time credit pack

The available packs are Starter (2 credits, $9.99), Popular (6 credits, $26.99), Crew (20 credits, $79.99). The entry pack starts at $9.99 for 2 credits. These are one-time purchases through Stripe, and credits never expire. You do not need a subscription to make a video.

Your chosen resolution determines how many credits a generation uses: 768p costs 2 credits and 1080p costs 3 credits. Check that your balance covers the option you want before starting. A pack that covers one 768p generation may not cover a 1080p generation, so choose the pack and quality together.

All purchases are final, and credits cannot be exchanged for money. If a video generation fails, its credits return to your account automatically. That lets you try again with the returned credits; it does not reverse your payment. The price and credit cost shown in the product are the ones to check before paying or generating.

Step 3: Choose and upload a clear selfie

Select Upload your photo and choose one photo of yourself. The uploader accepts JPEG, PNG, WebP and HEIC, up to 10 MB. You only need the photo: Encorette already has the party scene prepared.

For a useful starting photo, face a window or another soft light source. Keep your face sharp, your eyes visible and your shoulders and upper body in frame. A natural expression is fine. You do not need to pose in a chandelier room or match the outfit from the clip.

Avoid group photos, sunglasses, heavy filters and pictures where your face is partly hidden. If the only photo you have is blurry or strongly backlit, taking a new selfie is a better next step than submitting it repeatedly. The model needs a clear view of you to make a convincing Burning Bridges AI video.

After upload, the product checks the photo before allowing generation. Wait for Photo approved. A rejected photo does not use generation credits. Only use photos of yourself or adults who have given permission, and make sure everyone shown is an adult.

Step 4: Set the quality, sound and consent

Once the photo is approved, select the quality in the generator. 768p uses fewer credits, while 1080p gives you a higher-resolution file. Both options make the same 15-second scene. Resolution is a file-quality choice; a better selfie still matters for how closely the result resembles you.

The Include original sound option is off by default. Leave it off if you want a silent MP4 and plan to add audio while posting. Turn it on before generating if you want the original audio included in the downloaded file. Think about where you will share the clip before choosing this setting.

Read and check the consent box confirming that you are the person in the photo or have their permission, and that everyone shown is an adult. The generate action needs both an approved photo and consent. Check the displayed credit cost, then select Generate my video when you are ready.

Step 5: Let the video generate

After you start, the generator shows the job progressing. Most videos take about seven minutes, though processing time can vary. You do not need to keep clicking the button or submit the same photo again while the existing video is being made.

You can close the page while it renders. Come back with the same Google account and open My Videos to find your finished clip. This is useful on a phone if you need to switch apps or put the device away during the wait.

If the job fails, the credits used for that generation return automatically. Check your balance before trying again. If you cannot find the video or need help with a failed job, contact Encorette support using the account associated with your video.

Step 6: Watch, download and share your MP4

When the result is ready, watch the clip and select Download MP4. Save the file somewhere you can find it again, especially if you are working on a phone. The same MP4 can be uploaded to a social platform or shared directly in a group chat.

If you generated a silent clip, add the audio you want in the app where you post it, using sounds available to your account. Preview the timing before publishing. The downloaded file is landscape, so check the platform’s framing and crop controls to keep your face visible.

Download any video you want to keep. Uploaded photos are deleted after seven days, and videos after 90 days. My Videos is a convenient place to return to your results during that period, but your own saved copy is the one to keep for later.

Quick checks before your first generation

Make sure you are signed into the right Google account, have enough credits for your selected quality and have an approved selfie. Check the sound toggle and consent box before pressing generate. Those are the settings that determine what you are asking Encorette to make.
