Hotel Lobby AI Prompts & Photo Preparation
Prepare two portrait references and understand the fixed character-swap instruction used by the Hotel Lobby AI studio.

Start with the photos
A prompt cannot compensate for a face hidden behind sunglasses, an extreme angle or a heavily filtered image. Choose separate photos of two consenting adults, one clearly visible face per image. Even lighting, a sharp face and a simple background make it easier to inspect your references.
Match the roles
Image 1 represents the left performer and Image 2 the right performer. If a photo contains several people, crop it to the intended person before adding it. Check the order in the studio and use Swap when needed.
What instruction does this studio use?
The studio supplies a fixed instruction rather than a custom prompt field. It asks the model to replace the left performer with Image 1 and the right performer with Image 2 while preserving the stage, background, gestures, timing and camera movement. This describes the requested edit; it is not a guarantee that the output will match every detail.
For a separate editor that accepts text instructions, a neutral starting point is:
Replace the left role using portrait one and the right role using portrait two. Preserve the scene and timing, and keep both people visible.
This example does not change the instructions in this studio or grant rights to source media.
Avoid common reference problems
- Use one person per photo, without a partially hidden face.
- Prefer natural light and avoid beauty filters that change identity.
- Keep enough of the face visible to compare the result accurately.
- Use photos you are authorized to submit, with the person's consent.
Review the output
Check both identities, hands, gestures, sound and lip sync throughout the clip. A different photo may help with a poor result, but creating another job consumes credits. Read the tutorial, pricing and actual test example before generating.
