01What happens in the Tying Shoes Money trend
The linked TikTok shows a black cat on a leafy park path beside a clear cup. The cat sits behind it with a wide grin while passers-by drop money into the cup. The low camera keeps the cup and the approaching feet in view, turning an ordinary park moment into a tip-cup gag.

02How to make the Tying Shoes Money AI video from one photo

03The photo that works

- Use one clear photo.
- Show one person or one pet.
- Keep the lead visible in the frame.
- Avoid a group photo.
- Avoid several pets in one image.
- Avoid a crop that hides the face or body.
04The Tying Shoes Money AI prompt
There is no prompt to write on the AI Trend Club page. If you want to try the idea in another video model that accepts a reference clip and a photo, this prompt describes the scene in order.
Recreate the reference scene on the park path. The person in the reference photo takes the black cat’s place, walks up to the clear cup and sits behind it as passers-by leave money. Keep the leafy park, low phone camera, backpack, cup and same timing. Let the lead grin as in the reference. Keep each passer-by’s own appearance and retain the photo’s identity for the whole clip. Do not add another lead, a new story, captions or a brand mark.05CapCut template or AI video?
A CapCut template can arrange clips that you record. This AI video uses the linked park clip as a reference and puts one photo into the lead role. The reference supplies the path, cup, low camera and passers-by, so you do not need to film those parts yourself.
After you download the video, CapCut can help you trim it or add captions. The page offers a download with the trend sound and a silent version. Choose the sound option that fits the social app where you plan to share it.
The source credit stays visible on the trend page. If you repost the idea, keep the creator attribution and link to the original. A caption can stay focused on the cat, cup and the unexpected tips.
- Arrange your own clips in a CapCut template.
- Use the linked clip and one photo in the AI flow.
- Edit captions or timing after downloading.
