04The Tough Like a Gorilla AI prompt
AI Trend Club uses the reference clip directly, so there is no prompt to write on the trend page. If you want to try a similar edit in another video model that accepts a reference clip, you can start with this plain description. It keeps the selected solo scene and avoids adding a second person or a new prop.
Create a vertical, front-facing lip-sync clip based on the supplied reference video. Replace only the performer with the person in the reference photo. Keep the laundry room, washer and dryer, camera position, distance, outfit silhouette, body gestures, pauses and timing. Maintain the same single performer through every frame and preserve the person’s face, hair and skin tone. Keep the expression playful and direct. Do not add a second person, a prop, text, logo, song title or watermark. Make the output silent.05CapCut template or AI video?
A CapCut template gives you an edit structure and places your own photos or clips into it. That is useful when you are filming the source actions yourself. A template does not take the laundry-room source and put your identity into the existing performance.
AI video generation starts with the reference clip. It changes the lead to match your photo while keeping the room, camera view, pauses, and gestures from that source. That is how this page follows the selected one-person lip-sync rather than building a new edit from recordings you make.
The original sound is included on this page’s trend flow. You can also select the silent download and add a platform sound yourself after the render. Avoid copying the official music video as a visual source; this page uses the credited user-posted clip from @71cent.
