How do I make a Somebody That I Used To Know video?

Painting yourself into the wall

• Open the template page. Use one sharp photo of an adult or a pet, head and shoulders or more, looking at the camera. JPG, PNG or WebP, up to 10 MB.
• Pick the wall (Warm patchwork by default), the paint (Face and neck by default) and the shot (Side-on 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 your faces and the paint staying the same through the turn.
• Render: 1 credit gives the 10-second 720p MP4 with no watermark, saved in My videos. Add your sound in TikTok.

Turn, first verse, answer

The turn to the camera (0 to 3 seconds), the first verse (3 to 7) and the answer (7 to 10).

The hardest part for the AI is the paint and the lips together: the face has to stay like your photo while the pattern runs across it and the mouth moves, so a small difference in the paint is normal, not a failed render. Treat it as a short duet to watch.

Where it comes from

Save the MP4 or copy a share link from My videos. Our video follows a stretch of the 25-second TikTok by @myst_vault from 6 October 2026, shortened to 10 seconds. The sound guide shows how to add your own sound.
