Street Light Slide AI Video Generator: Slide In Under the Lamp
Also called: AI Slide Transition, AI Slide Transition Effect, Streetlight Slip, Street Light Slide Effect, CapCut AI Slide
Add one photo of yourself or an adult friend. A tiny figure slides away down an empty path at night, the frame sits empty for a beat, then you slide in close from the lower left with your hair flying and stop in front of the lens under a street light, calm and self-assured, your head swaying a little. It is a 5-second fixed-camera clip that follows the viral AI slide effect. Adults only, and no real footage is used.

The trend, explained
What is the Street Light Slide AI effect?
“Street Light Slide” is the name people use for an AI video effect from October 2026, also called the AI Slide Transition: on an empty path at night a tiny figure slides away in the distance, the frame is empty for a beat, then the person slides in close from the lower left, hair flying, and stops chest-up under a street light, looking straight at the camera. The effect first spread through CapCut templates around 20 October 2026.
The post we follow is @dreamina_tao’s “AI Slide Transition Effect” video from 22 October 2026, which had about 2 million views when we checked. Our video matches the effect demo inside that post, roughly seconds 1.6 to 6.8 of its 32 seconds, not the post from second 0. Two tutorial posts show how people make it from one photo.
MimicZip makes your own version from one photo of an adult, in a 5-second video on a fixed camera. The path, the lamp and the clothes are generated and no real footage is used. MimicZip is an independent template tool: your video is generated from your own photo and is not made, endorsed or licensed by CapCut, TikTok or the people who posted the trend.

What happens in a Street Light Slide AI video
A 5-second video follows four beats in this order, on one fixed camera. Timings are approximate, and the 5-second preview shows the same scene at lower quality.
01 · 0–0.5s
The slide away
Far down an empty path at night, a very small figure crouches low and slides out of the frame on the left.
02 · 0.5–1.5s
The empty beat
Nobody is in the shot for a moment: just the path, the tree wrapped in string lights and the street lamps.
03 · 1.5–2s
The slide in
You slide in from the lower left, very close to the camera, hair whipping up from the speed, face turned to the lens.
04 · 2–5s
Under the light
A chest-up close-up with the street light shining from above: you stand almost still, look straight into the camera, calm and sure of yourself, and your head sways a little.
Your photo decides who slides in. The path, the camera and the order of the beats are fixed, and every result comes out a little different. Nobody speaks or sings in the video.
How to add a sound to your Street Light Slide AI video in TikTok
Pick the song inside TikTok when you post, then turn the video's own sound down.Show the full how-to
Our video has an AI-made instrumental track and is not timed to any sound. The effect is usually posted with the TikTok sound “original sound - naddy”, which we do not include. The effect part is very short, so you will need to line the beat up with the slide-in yourself in your editing app. Pick the sound in TikTok, or download a silent version from My videos.
- In TikTok, search “original sound - naddy” (or “Street Light Slide”), open a post you like and tap its sound, then tap Use this sound.
- Tap Upload and pick the video you downloaded from us.
- Open Volume and turn the video's own sound down to 0, or download the silent version from My videos.
- Slide the sound left or right until its beat meets the moment you slide in, trim it to the length of the video and post.

Which photo works?
One photo is required: a single adult, ideally from the chest up or the waist up, with the face easy to see. The shot ends in a close-up, so a sharp, front-facing face photo gives the best match.

- Subject facing the camera and not covered
- JPG, PNG or WebP, up to 10 MB
- Between 300 and 6000 pixels on each side
Avoid
- Pets, toys or drawings: this template takes adults only

Street Light Slide AI: frequently asked questions
What is the Street Light Slide AI effect?
On an empty path at night a tiny figure slides away, the frame is empty for a beat, then the person slides in close from the lower left and stares into the lens under a street light. It is also called the AI Slide Transition and spread in October 2026, first through CapCut templates. AI versions use your own photo. The explainer guide has the background.
How do I make the Street Light Slide video with my photo?
Upload one photo of an adult, pick 9:16 or 16:9, choose a place and an outfit and start. A few minutes later you get a 5-second 720p MP4. The how-to guide lists each step.
Is it free to try?
Not at the moment. MimicZip has no free tier or free preview; one full 5-second 720p video costs 1 credit, and packs start at $8.99. Every pack includes bonus watch-only previews so you can check your photo before spending a credit. There is no subscription, and the full video has no watermark.
Can I add the original sound, and will it line up?
People post the effect with the TikTok sound “original sound - naddy”, but our video is not timed to it: the effect is only 5 seconds, so the sound’s beat will not land on the slide-in by itself. Add the sound in TikTok or your editing app and shift it until the beat meets the slide. The sound guide shows how, and a silent download is available.
What sound does Street Light Slide AI use, and is it in my video?
The trend is usually posted with the TikTok sound “original sound - naddy”, uploaded in 2024. Our video does not include it: MimicZip generates its own instrumental beat, and you add the sound you want in TikTok.
How many photos do I need?
One. It shows a single adult, as a JPG, PNG or WebP file up to 10 MB, ideally from the chest up and facing the camera.
Can I use my pet?
No. This template takes photos of adults only. For pets, try the pet templates on MimicZip, such as Talk Dirty AI.
Is this connected to CapCut?
The effect first spread through CapCut templates in October 2026, and the post we follow promotes one of them. MimicZip is an independent template tool: your video is generated from your own photo, with no real footage, and is not made, endorsed or licensed by CapCut or the people who posted the trend. Photos of celebrities are not accepted.
More questions (7)
Does my video have words or lyrics?
No. Nobody speaks or sings in it. The AI soundtrack is an instrumental beat made with the video. Download the silent version and add your own sound if you prefer.
Is there a watermark, and can I post it on TikTok or Reels?
A bonus preview wears a PREVIEW badge and can’t be saved, while the full video has no watermark. Yes, you can post it: pick 9:16 for TikTok and Reels and add the sound you like in the app. Keep the platform’s AI-generated label on.
Can I change the place or the outfit?
Yes, from presets. Places: an empty lamp-lit path (the default), a neon street corner, a seaside promenade, a snowy street, a rainy street or a misty park path. Outfits: the clothes from your own photo (the default), a black off-shoulder top, a leather jacket, a white shirt, a beige trench coat or a grey hoodie. Accessory: none (the default), a red scarf, silver hoops, a pendant, headphones or black gloves. The camera, the slide and the timing stay the same, and the options do not change the price.
Is the street real?
No. Everything in our video is generated by AI, the path, the lamp and the clothes included. No real footage is used, and nothing in the scene is readable.
Is it the same as the Streetlight Slip or pop-up videos?
Close, but not the same. They use the same night street, but the other version has the person wave, slide out and pop back in as a selfie. Ours follows the version where you slide in from far away and stop in a close-up.
Do I have to write a prompt?
No. This is a fixed template, so there is no prompt box: you add a photo and pick the place, the outfit and the video shape. Prefer your own tool? Copy the ready-made prompt from the Kling prompt page.
What if a video fails, and how long is my photo kept?
A failed generation returns its credit automatically, and unused packs can be refunded within 7 days; see the refund policy. Photos are stored privately and deleted automatically 14 days after upload.
