Step04
Process the Images
After the capture is complete, wait a few minutes for the application to process the images and build your avatar.

Review Your Avatar
After processing is complete, your new AI avatar will appear in the Google Flow interface, ready to be used in video generation projects.

Recover
If it goes sideways
- Face capture fails due to poor lighting or occlusion
