Choose based on what you have. A two-photo AI scene starts with portraits, while a video editor starts with material you can already cut.

When does an editor fit better?
If you have your own elevator footage, use an editor such as CapCut to time the pause, cut between faces and add audio you can publish.
When does a portrait template fit better?
If the two people are in different places, prepare two separate portraits and map each to a role. A generated scene requires a working reference and can vary in expression and timing.
What if you film it yourself?
A staged shot gives you control over acting and dialogue. Use a place you can film in, keep the camera stable and leave a beat between the first line and the reply.
