How do I make a Me Sitting and Doing Nothing video?
By MimicZip Team · Updated:
Short answer
Upload one photo of a pet or an adult, pick the backdrop, the snack and the accessory, and MimicZip builds the scene: the lying back, the snack and the deadpan look. Check a 5-second bonus preview, then spend 1 credit on the 8-second 720p video.
Getting yourself into the bathrobe
- Go to the template page. Add one sharp photo of a pet or an adult, head and shoulders or more, facing the camera. JPG, PNG or WebP, up to 10 MB.
- Choose the backdrop (Pink glitter by default), the snack (Popcorn by default) and the accessory (Sunglasses by default). None 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 your face and fur or hair staying the same through the lazy movements.
- Render: 1 credit gives the 8-second 720p MP4 with no watermark, saved in My videos. Add your sound in TikTok.
Lying back, snack time, deadpan look
The lying back (0 to 3 seconds), the snack (3 to 6) and the deadpan look (6 to 8).
The hardest part for the AI is the snack and the face together: you eat slowly, then the eyes lift over the sunglasses, so a small difference in the snack or the sunglasses is normal, not a failed render. Treat it as a short scene to watch.
Where it comes from
