Closing Door Prank AI: price, photos, free options and FAQ
By MimicZip Team · Updated:
Short answer
No subscription, and credits never expire. A Closing Door Prank video costs 1 credit per 10-second 720p clip with no watermark: 1 for $4.98, 3 for $9.98, 5 for $12.98. Each pack includes watch-only previews.
What the credit pays for
A credit pays for one finished clip: the door held open, the sprint, the shut door and the swap, 10 seconds in all. The options (six hallways, five outfits, five doors and five kinds of light) make no difference to the price. The price comes to about $4.98, $3.33 or $2.60 a clip.
Room for a second take
If the two of you start to look alike, a second run with two clearly different photos usually fixes it. With 3 or 5 videos in a pack you can try another photo or option, and credits you do not use carry over to any template on MimicZip.
Previews, refunds, renewals
- Bundled previews: 1 ($4.98), 3 ($9.98) and 5 ($12.98). They are not free and cannot be downloaded.
- If a run fails, the credit comes back without a request.
- Packs you have not used qualify for a refund in the first 7 days (refund policy); spent credits do not.
- No renewal, ever.
Is there a free Closing Door Prank AI video generator?
No. MimicZip has no free Closing Door Prank version and no free preview. A finished 10-second 720p clip costs 1 credit and packs start at $4.98. Every pack includes watch-only previews, and there is no subscription.
The original on TikTok, and what is free there
The trend is a 14-second TikTok by @thepadillafamily_ from 29 October 2026, with about 8.2 million views: one person holds a half-open door, another sprints down the hallway, and the door shuts in front of them. You can watch it for nothing on TikTok.
What we sell is a version made from your own photo, with a hallway, a door and a light made up for you.
What a Closing Door Prank run takes
- Photos: one photo per person, or one photo for both, of adults, pets, toys or drawn characters facing the camera. No children.
- Free choices: 9:16 or 16:9, six hallways, five outfits, five doors and five kinds of light.
- Cost: 1 credit for the 10-second 720p clip, without a watermark. $4.98 buys 1 video, $9.98 buys 3 and $12.98 buys 5.
- Previews: 1 in the $4.98 pack, 3 in the $9.98 pack and 5 in the $12.98 pack. A preview is the same 5-second scene at 480p, with a PREVIEW badge, and cannot be downloaded.
Why this is a paid tool
Each render uses a paid AI video model, so there is no free version. MimicZip is independent and not made, endorsed or licensed by @thepadillafamily_.
What photo works for a Closing Door Prank AI video?
Upload one clear photo per person, or one photo for both, facing the camera in good light. The sprinter is seen running and the closer is seen full-length, so a clean outline helps. Files must be JPG, PNG or WebP, up to 10 MB, with each side between 300 and 6000 pixels.
File rules
- JPG, PNG or WebP, up to 10 MB.
- Each side between 300 and 6000 pixels.
- Width-to-height ratio between 0.4 and 2.5.
What makes a good photo
- One subject per photo, facing the camera.
- Whole body or at least head to knees: the sprint shows the full figure.
- Good light and a clear face; the model copies your colours.
- A plain background so each outline is easy to cut out.
Who you may upload
This template takes adults, pets, drawn characters and toys, never anyone under 18, and anyone you upload must be fine with it. See the photo consent rules and the acceptable use policy.
Can I change the hallway, the clothes, the door and the light in a Closing Door Prank AI video?
Pick from six hallways (a bright family hallway by default), five outfits, five doors and five kinds of light. The camera, the order of the beats and the roles are the same in every option: the closer holds the door, the runner sprints. The options do not change the price.
Hallway
Bright family hallway (default), Stair landing, Apartment corridor, Long loft hall, Plain hotel-style corridor and Wood cabin hall.
Outfits
Plain casual clothes (default), Pastel pyjamas, Plain hoodies, Just home from work and Sports tops and joggers.
Door
White panel door (default), Oak door, Navy-blue door, Sage-green door and Frosted-glass door.
Light
Soft daylight (default), Warm evening lamps, Bright morning, Quiet night and Cloudy afternoon.
What stays fixed
The camera inside the room, the half-open door, the order of the beats and the roles stay the same in every option.
Questions people ask
Do credits expire?
No. A credit is yours until you spend it.
Will I be charged again automatically?
No. There is no recurring billing; each pack is paid once.
Can I get a refund?
Only an unused pack, inside 7 days. Once a credit has produced a clip, it is not refundable.
Do I need a credit card for a free preview?
There is no free preview. You can look at the options with one or two photos before paying; you pay once, at checkout, when you choose a pack.
Can I watch the original for free?
Yes. The original post by @thepadillafamily_ plays on TikTok, and this page links to it. We only make your own version from your photo.
Is the preview the whole clip?
Close. A preview shows the same 5-second scene at 480p instead of 720p, so you can check your photo first. It carries a badge and cannot be downloaded.
Can I use a photo of the family from the original?
No. Photos of celebrities or famous characters are blocked, and so is anyone who looks like a child. Use yourself, an adult friend who agreed, or your pets.
Do the two photos need to match?
No. Use any two photos, or one for both. The hallway, the door and the light are generated, so any background works.
How long is my photo kept?
It is stored privately and deleted automatically 14 days after upload.
Do the options cost more?
No. The price is the same for every option.
Are the options tested?
The defaults are the ones the scene was written around; the others are marked New in the generator and have not been run on their own yet.
Can I type my own option?
No. This template has presets only, with no free-text prompt.
