Quick answer

Starrd's No Scrubs template turns three photos into TLC's No Scrubs video starring you and two friends. Photo 1 is the lead in the middle, photo 2 is on the left and photo 3 is on the right. You get the whole opening: the lead alone in the elevator, a close-up of the left performer pointing at the camera, a close-up of the lead with both hands up, then all three of you dancing on the silver futuristic set in front of the big TLC letters, singing along to every word. Each of you keeps your own face and your own top, hat, glasses and jewellery, with the video's black cargo pants and the three signature hairstyles: long curls in the middle, braided pigtails on the left, short red hair on the right. The dance, cuts and camera moves follow the original video, set to the song. About 15 seconds, 16:9 widescreen, 480p, 150 credits (about $7.50).

The Fastest Way

No Scrubs

You and two friends as TLC, on the silver set, singing along. Three photos.

Try It

Three photos, 150 credits (about $7.50), no prompt. It renders at 480p, 16:9, with the song. Find it in Comedy & Viral.

Build It Yourself

1. Make one still of all three. Recreate a wide frame of the set with your three people swapped in, each in their own top and accessories, with the three hairstyles fixed.

2. Make the close-ups too. Render the two solo close-ups as separate stills, one per person, so the model doesn't swap faces between shots.

3. Transfer the motion. Feed the stills and the photos to a motion-transfer video model with the dance reference, and say who is middle, left and right in every shot.

Common Mistakes

Letting people swap places. Name the position of each person in every shot, including the close-ups, or faces drift between members.

Dropping the hairstyles. Keeping everyone's own hair sounds nicer but breaks who's who. The three signature styles keep the members apart.

Only describing the group shot. The close-ups need their own reference frames.
