How do I make a Birds of a Feather AI video?
Updated:
Short answer
Upload one photo of an adult, pet, toy or drawn character, pick the place, the outfit, the light and the float, and MimicZip builds the scene: the wide shot, the close-ups, the drifting feet and the head tilt. Check a 5-second bonus preview, then spend 1 credit on the 10-second 720p video and add your sound in TikTok.
Putting yourself in the chair
- Open the template page. Use one sharp photo of one adult or pet, close-up or chest-up, looking at the camera, with the hair or fur visible. JPG, PNG or WebP, up to 10 MB.
- Choose the place (green-carpet office by default), the outfit (dotted black top by default), the light (cool even light by default) and the float (slow turn by default). None changes the price.
- Pick 9:16 for TikTok, Reels and Shorts, or 16:9 for YouTube and desktop screens.
- Consent and sign-in. Tick the photo-consent box and log in with Google. Previews arrive inside a pack, so take one if you have no credits.
- Check the preview. It is watch-only, 5 seconds at 480p, with a PREVIEW badge. Look for your face staying yours as you float and for the hair or fur spreading out around you.
- Render: 1 credit gives the 10-second 720p MP4 with no watermark, saved in My videos. Add your sound in TikTok.
One wide shot, four close shots, one head tilt
A smooth camera starts wide on the green-carpet room (0 to 2 seconds), moves in from above on your head tipped back with your hair spreading (2 to 4), drops to your feet beside the chair legs (4 to 6), holds on your face looking into the lens (6 to 8), and ends with a slow head tilt (8 to 10).
The hardest part for the AI is keeping your face the same when the camera jumps from a wide shot to a close one while your hair swirls, so a small drift is normal, not a failed render. No real person is drawn, and no singer or video clip appears.

Questions people ask
Do I need to write a prompt?
No. The scene, the fixed camera and the order of the beats are set. You provide the photo and choose the options and the format.
Can I close the page while it renders?
Yes. Rendering carries on at our end, and the finished video is saved under your account in My videos.
Which format should I pick?
Choose 9:16 for TikTok, Reels and Shorts, or 16:9 for YouTube and desktop. A bonus preview works in either shape.
