Choose a face for the salute
Look for visible eyes and a clear brow. A photo with a hand already covering one eye gives the model less detail when the raised hand reaches the forehead. You can start with the subject looking straight at the camera.
Keep the pause in the edit
The raised hand is only part of the joke. The hold gives the viewer time to read the eyes and the tear. If you shorten the finished clip for a reply, leave a beat between the salute and the emotional reaction.
What to expect from the sound
The studio restores the reference audio. It does not ask for a voice recording or a custom spoken line. Listen to the preview before generating if your planned caption needs to land on a particular word.
