How do I make a Tough Like a Gorilla video?

By MimicZip Team · Updated:

Short answer

Upload one photo each of two adults, choose the place, the prop and the ending and MimicZip stages the scene: the dare and the quesadilla. Look at a 5-second bonus preview, then use 1 credit on the 5-second 720p video.

Daring a friend, on purpose

  • Open the template page. Use one sharp photo each of two adults, whole body or from the waist up, looking at the camera. JPG, PNG or WebP, up to 10 MB.
  • Pick the place (Poolside by default), the prop (Quesadilla by default) and the ending (Both laugh 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 the two of you looking like yourselves and the pat staying soft.
  • Render: 1 credit gives the 5-second 720p MP4 with no watermark, saved in My videos. Add your sound in TikTok.

The dare, the quesadilla

The dare (0 to 2.3 seconds) and the quesadilla (2.3 to 5).

The hardest part for the AI is the prop: a big flat quesadilla held by one person and pressed to another person’s cheek, with two faces kept the same. A quesadilla that changes shape, a hand with an extra finger or a pat that looks like it goes through a cheek is normal, not a failed render. Treat it as a short, silly clip to watch.

Where it comes from

Save the MP4 or copy a share link from My videos. Our video follows the two beats of the TikTok from 7 November 2026 that show the dare and the quesadilla, cropped to the wide picture in the middle and stretched to 5 seconds. The sound guide shows how to add your own sound.

Questions people ask

Do I need to write a prompt?

No. The scene, the camera and the order of the beats are set. You provide the photos and choose the options and the format.

Can I close the page while it renders?

Yes. Rendering carries on at our end, and the finished video is saved under your account in My videos.

Which format does the video come in?

Vertical 9:16, for TikTok, Reels and Shorts. A bonus preview has the same shape.
