How do I make a Street Light Slide AI video?

Setting up the slide-in

• Open the template page. There is one box. The shot ends in a chest-up close-up, so use a sharp, front-facing photo of one adult, chest-up or waist-up or further, with nobody else in it. Pets, toys and anyone under 18 are not accepted. JPG, PNG or WebP, up to 10 MB.
• Choose the place: lamp-lit path (the default and the tested one), neon corner, seaside promenade, snowy street, rainy street or misty park path. Choose the outfit: your own clothes, a black off-shoulder top, a leather jacket, a white shirt, a beige trench coat or a grey hoodie. Choose the accessory: none, a red scarf, silver hoops, a pendant, headphones or black gloves. None changes the price, and the defaults are the safest first try.
• Pick 9:16 for TikTok, Reels and Shorts, or 16:9 for YouTube and desktop screens.
• 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, the same scene at lower quality, with a PREVIEW badge. Look for the empty beat and the entrance: you should not be in the frame at the start.
• Render: 1 credit gives the 5-second 720p MP4 with no watermark, saved in My videos.
• Add your sound in TikTok and slide it until its beat meets the entrance.

Five seconds, four beats

A fixed camera looks down an empty path at night. A very small figure crouches and slides out of the frame on the left (0 to 0.5 seconds), nobody is in the shot while the string-lit tree and the street lamps sit there (0.5 to 1.5), you slide in from the lower left, very close, with hair whipping up (1.5 to 2), and then comes a chest-up close-up under the light where you stand almost still, look into the lens and sway your head a little (2 to 5). Nobody speaks or sings.

If a run puts you in the frame from the start or adds a second person, that is a normal AI miss, not a failed render; the preview is the place to catch it.

Timing the sound

Download the MP4 or copy a share link from My videos. The effect is only 5 seconds and our video is not timed to a particular sound, so use the full video, then drag your sound left or right until its beat meets the slide-in at about 1.5 seconds. The sound guide shows how, and the silent download leaves only the sound you add.
