How do I make a Car Chips Prank video?
By MimicZip Team · Updated:
Short answer
Upload one or two photos of adults, choose the snack, the payoff, the setting and the outfit and MimicZip stages the scene: the munch, the reach, the grab and the stare. Look at a 5-second bonus preview, then use 1 credit on the 5-second 720p video.
One snack, two people, no confessions
- Go to the template page. Add one sharp photo of an adult, from the waist up or whole body, facing the camera, then a second adult as the buddy if you like (without one, a made-up buddy does the stealing). JPG, PNG or WebP, 10 MB at most per file.
- Choose the snack (Potato chips by default), the payoff (Stare ahead by default), the setting (Sunny day by default) and the outfit (Your own clothes by default). None changes the price.
- Shape of the video: vertical 9:16, sized for TikTok, Reels and Shorts.
- 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.
- Look at the preview. It is watch-only, 5 seconds at 480p, marked PREVIEW. Check both faces looking like your photos, the arm reaching across and the payoff you picked.
- Render: 1 credit gives the 5-second 720p MP4 with no watermark, saved in My videos. Add your sound in TikTok.
The munch, the reach, the grab, the stare
The munch (0 to 1.5 seconds), the reach and the grab (1.5 to 3) and the stare (3 to 5).
The hardest part for the AI is two people sitting close with an arm that crosses between them and a snack that has to stay in one place: the hand has to stay in shape, the bag has to keep its size and both faces have to match your photos. A finger that looks a little long, a crumb that flickers or a seatbelt that shifts for a frame is normal, not a failed render. Treat it as a short, silly clip to watch.
Where it comes from
Save the MP4 or copy a share link from My videos. Our video follows the middle of the TikTok from 9 November 2026, from the reach to the stare. The sound guide shows how to add your own sound.

Questions people ask
Do I need to write a prompt?
No. The scene, the camera and the order of the beats are set. You provide the photos 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 does the video come in?
Vertical 9:16, made for TikTok, Reels and Shorts. The bonus preview uses the same shape.
