How to make AI videos of your friends

Three ways to make AI videos of your friends

The template is the quickest: the scene, the moves and the song are ready, and only your friends change. Your own clip is for an inside joke you already filmed. A new scene is for something that does not exist yet.

Make AI videos of your friends with a trend template

1. 1

   Pick the trend: Tiny Desk AI for a band of 1 to 5, Hotel Lobby AI for two, the TikTok Christmas dance on Christmas Dance AI, the (500) Days of Summer elevator scene on I Love the Smiths AI, or tap another template under the studio above.

2. 2

   Collect a photo of each friend: face to the camera, alone in the frame.

3. 3

   Add the photos in the order of the parts; the page says who plays what.

4. 4

   Press the button once and sign in with Google. A free 2-second preview comes first.

5. 5

   Send the MP4 to the group chat before anyone posts it.

Put your friends into a clip you filmed

1. 1

   Upload the clip in Clone Cut: MP4 or MOV, 2 to 30 s, up to 50 MB.

2. 2

   Add a photo for each friend you want in it, up to 9. People without a photo stay as filmed.

3. 3

   Press the button once. The studio finds who is who in the clip; it asks only when it cannot tell.

4. 4

   A 10-second clip is 16 credits at 480p on Wan 3.0; the moves, the cuts and the sound stay.

Make a new scene with your friends from their photos

When there is no clip, start from the photos: group photo to video takes up to 9 photos as references on Seedance 2.5 and Seedance 2.0 and Wan 3.0, and a prompt says what happens. For example: "The three friends from the photos dance on a rooftop at sunset, the camera circling them, a summer pop song playing."

What makes AI videos of your friends land

Our experience from the trends, not a rule: the best AI videos of your friends play on something the group already knows. The friend who always laughs gets the laugh, the one who never dances ends up dancing, the couple who argue about everything share the mic. A trend everyone recognises does half the work, because the joke is who is in it.

Keep them kind. An AI video of a friend should be one they would post themselves. If you would not show it to them first, do not make it.

Share AI videos of your friends in the group chat before anyone posts them publicly. A friend who laughs in private may still not want the clip on a public profile, and asking takes ten seconds.

Is it legal to make AI videos of your friends?

This is not legal advice, and laws differ by country. What holds almost everywhere: ask first. A friend who said yes, a clip that is clearly a joke and an AI label keep you on safe ground. Sexual content, harassment, passing a fake off as real and anything involving children are where AI videos of people become illegal or banned.

Platforms have their own rules too. TikTok asks creators to label realistic AI-generated content. Capafy AI’s terms allow only photos you own or have consent for, and no minors.

Photos that make your friends look like themselves

• One person per photo, face to the camera, eyes visible.
• Recent photos, with the hair and look they have now.
• Even light and no beauty filter: the model copies the smoothing too.
• Full body for dance clips, waist-up for a band, knee-up for the Hotel Lobby booth.
• Photos from different phones and places are fine; nobody needs to meet up.

Funny AI video ideas for your friends

• The group chat as a band, the loudest laugh in photo 1 (what the Outstanding Tiny Desk meme is).
• Best friends in the orange booth (what the Hotel Lobby trend is).
• The friend who never dances, in the middle of Dame Hombro (how to do the AI dance trend).
• A birthday video: the birthday person as the lead, everyone else backing them up.
• A long-distance reunion: friends from three cities in one scene.
