    Short answer: two separate portraits are enough. Together on Video places both people in one scene and gently animates it, so they turn to each other, smile or hug.

    Why it matters

    Family albums are full of portraits but have few photos of people together. Grandma was photographed for an ID card, Grandpa in the army, the wedding photo got lost. A video of them together again is a powerful memory for many families.

    Ideas for who to bring together

    • Grandparents with no shared photo, or only a poor one.
    • A grandmother in her youth and a grandchild today, a meeting that never happened.
    • A parent who has passed away and their child in a photo from today.
    • Siblings who grew up apart.

    Choosing the scene

    For memorial videos, people most often pick smile at each other or hug. Both feel natural and calm. If you have something specific in mind, like "sitting together on a bench by a pond", describe it in your own words.

    What to expect

    AI keeps the faces from the photos but creates a new scene, so clothing, background or light may differ slightly from the originals. Black and white photos are fine. The result looks like one shared scene, not a collage.

    Before you start, check which photos work best.
