Use images you have permission to animate. Do not create intimate or embarrassing depictions of someone without consent, and do not imply a generated scene records a real event. Wedding, anniversary, costume, and fictional-character use can work when everyone depicted agrees.
Review the clip once at normal speed and once frame by frame. Check supporting hand placement, extra limbs, face swaps, fabric continuity, foot contact before the lift, and whether the carried person remains supported throughout the settle.
Keep the preset and model visible, edit the prompt when needed, and review the complete physical event rather than only the final pose. Check the brace, lift, hand contact, balance, and settling frame.
The clip also fits a broader workflow. A stable ending can feed a continuation, transition, caption, or music pass, so the effect is not trapped inside a single template library.
