How do I make a 2026 to 2027 Road Sign video?

Hugging yourself at the turn of the year

• Open the template page. Use one sharp photo of an adult, whole body or from the waist up, looking at the camera. JPG, PNG or WebP, up to 10 MB.
• Choose the weather (Rain and sunshine by default), the outfit (Your clothes by default) and the car (Red sedan 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.
• Check the preview. It is watch-only, 5 seconds at 480p, with a PREVIEW badge. Look for the two of you looking alike and the sign reading 2026 and 2027.
• Render: 1 credit gives the 6-second 720p MP4 with no watermark, saved in My videos. Add your sound in TikTok.

The meeting, the hug, the car, the drive-off

The meeting (0 to 1 second), the hug (1 to 2.9), the car (2.9 to 4.8) and the drive-off (4.8 to 6).

The hardest part for the AI is drawing the same person twice, side by side, and keeping the two numbers on the sign right, because the hug brings both faces close together and the car comes in and out of the frame, so a small difference between the two of you or a wobbly digit is normal, not a failed render. Treat it as a short clip to watch.

Where it comes from

Save the MP4 or copy a share link from My videos. Our video follows the daytime version in the first 9 seconds of the TikTok from 8 November 2026, shortened to 6 seconds. The sound guide shows how to add your own sound.
