How do I make a Christmas Lights Wife video?
By MimicZip Team · Updated:
Short answer
Upload one photo of each of the two: an adult, and an adult or a pet, pick the place, the decorations and the action, and MimicZip builds the scene: the calm start, the rush, the tree flying past and the deadpan look. Check a 5-second bonus preview, then spend 1 credit on the 8-second 720p video.
Putting two of you in the hallway
- Go to the template page. Add one sharp photo of each of the two: an adult, and an adult or a pet, whole body, facing the camera. JPG, PNG or WebP, up to 10 MB.
- Pick the place (Hallway by default), the decorations (Tree and lights by default) and the action (Opens the door by default). None of them changes the price.
- Video shape: the video is vertical 9:16, made 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 staying the same while the partner runs past.
- Render: 1 credit gives the 8-second 720p MP4 with no watermark, saved in My videos. Add your sound in TikTok.
The calm start, the rush, the tree, the look
The calm start (0 to 2 seconds), the rush begins (2 to 4), the tree flies past (4 to 6) and the deadpan look (6 to 8).
The hardest part for the AI is the sprint, because one body moves fast across the frame while the other stays still, so a small change in a face or in the tree is normal, not a failed render. Treat it as a short clip to watch.

Do I need to write a prompt?

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.
