# Starrd > Starrd is an AI video generator that lets anyone star in their own cinematic video. Pick a scene template, upload one or two photos, and frontier AI models — Seedance 2.0 and Kling Motion Control — generate a Hollywood-grade video starring you in minutes — no prompt-writing, editing, or VFX skills required. Available as a web app and iOS app. Last-Updated: 2026-09-09 Canonical: https://www.getstarrd.app/llms.txt Starrd is built by Take 220 Productions LLC. It runs a multi-model AI pipeline to turn your photos into high-fidelity cinematic videos: Claude (Anthropic) writes each scene's prompt, Nano Banana Pro (Google) or GPT Image 2 (OpenAI) renders the storyboard that locks in your look, and Seedance 2.0 (Seedance 2.0 Omni, by ByteDance) or Kling Motion Control (Kuaishou) generates the final video. Instead of writing complex prompts and tuning settings, you pick a pre-built cinematic scene and Starrd handles the prompt engineering — so anyone can make a video starring themselves, their friends, or their pets. Core use case: pick a cinematic scene template, upload 1-2 photos (or a short clip for prank scenes), and generate a 12-second cinematic video starring you. Key differentiators: - You are the star — built around character consistency, so it's really you in the scene - Templates do the prompt engineering — no prompt-writing or editing skills needed - Multi-model AI stack — Seedance 2.0 + Kling Motion Control for video, Nano Banana Pro + GPT Image 2 for storyboards, Claude for prompts; each template uses the models best suited to its scene - Timelapse Studio — turn a single still photo into a moving timelapse with a generated camera move and time-of-day light progression, no tripod and no hours of shooting - Product Ad Studio — turn one product photo into a spoken, UGC-style phone-camera ad: a presenter (you, or one of eight) holds your exact product and pitches it, lip-synced, 10 or 15 seconds - AI song generator — turn a group chat, a photo, a typed idea, or an occasion into a full song with real lyrics and vocals - 200+ cinematic scene templates plus AI song generation across 16 categories, with new templates added weekly - Credit-based pricing — no subscriptions, no hidden fees, credits never expire - Available on web and iOS ## Pages - [Home](https://www.getstarrd.app): Browse scene templates and create videos - [All Templates](https://www.getstarrd.app/templates): The full template library, organized by category - [Timelapse Studio](https://www.getstarrd.app/timelapse): Turn one photo into a cinematic timelapse — pick up to 3 camera moves, set how many hours pass (1-12), get a 6-10 second clip.

Download or share via unique link ## Studios Studios are standalone tools that are not scene templates — they take your own photo as the subject rather than casting you into a pre-built scene. - [Timelapse Studio](https://www.getstarrd.app/timelapse): One photo in, a moving timelapse out. A traditional timelapse stitches hundreds of frames shot over hours from a tripod; Timelapse Studio generates the camera movement and the time-of-day light progression from a single still. Pick up to 3 of 13 camera moves (truck, pan, push in, pull out, pedestal, tilt, zoom, or static), set how many hours should pass (1 to 12), and choose a quality tier. Best on a sharp, well-lit scene with depth: a landscape, skyline, building or street with a horizon. Renders in a couple of minutes. Tiers: 720p 6s (20 credits), 1080p 6s (30 credits), 720p 10s (40 credits). Output is a 16:9 or 9:16 MP4, set by how you crop the photo. - [Product Ad Studio](https://www.getstarrd.app/product-ad): One product photo in, a spoken ad out. A presenter (you from a selfie, or one of eight cast: Chloe, Mia, Sofia, Bella, Ryan, Sam, Marcus, Grace) holds your exact product in a real-looking room (kitchen counter, bedroom desk, car front seat, gym floor, storefront, city sidewalk, studio backdrop, bathroom mirror, or a custom one-line setting) and speaks a two-line script to a handheld phone camera: a hook of 4-8 words and a line of 9-16 words, drafted from your product description and editable. Four formats: talk to camera, unboxing, show and try, walk and talk. The product's shape, colour and label text carry through every shot with a dedicated close-up. Output: 10 seconds (100 credits) or 15 seconds (150 credits), 720p, 9:16 for Reels, TikTok and Shorts or 16:9 for YouTube and product pages, with no music, captions or logo baked in. Renders in a few minutes. ## Template Categories Every template has its own page at https://www.getstarrd.app/template/{slug}.

An AI video generator that lets you star in cinematic videos — pick a template, upload 1-2 photos, and Starrd (powered by Seedance 2.0 and Kling Motion Control) generates a video starring you. - Which AI models does Starrd use? Claude writes each scene's prompt, Nano Banana Pro or GPT Image 2 renders the storyboard, and Seedance 2.0 or Kling Motion Control generates the final video. - Do I need to know how to write prompts? No. The templates handle the prompt engineering; you just pick a scene and upload photos. - How much does it cost? Credit-based: a video is 100 credits, a photo pack 20, a song 10. 100 credits is $4.99 on the web. No subscriptions; credits never expire. - How long does video generation take? A few minutes. Real-time progress tracking included. - Are my photos private? Yes. Photos are used only for video generation and never shared. - Can I make videos with my pet? Yes. Pet-friendly templates are available. - Can Starrd make a timelapse from one photo? Yes. Timelapse Studio generates the camera movement and the changing light from a single still, so you do not need a tripod, an interval timer, or an hour of shooting. Pick up to 3 camera moves and how many hours should pass (1-12); a render is 20-40 credits and takes a couple of minutes. - Can Starrd make a product ad or UGC ad? Yes. Product Ad Studio turns one product photo into a spoken, phone-camera ad: pick a presenter (yourself from a selfie or one of eight), a setting and a format, approve the drafted hook and line, and get a 10 or 15 second lip-synced clip, vertical or wide, for 100 or 150 credits. - Can Starrd make a song, not just a video? Yes. The Songs category turns your texts, a photo, a typed idea, or an occasion into a full song with real lyrics and vocals — 10 credits, a few minutes, no subscription. ## Compare How Starrd stacks up against other AI video tools.

[How to Make a UGC Ad With AI From One Product Photo (No Creator, No Shoot)](https://www.getstarrd.app/blog/how-to-make-a-ugc-ad-with-ai): The complete walkthrough of Product Ad Studio: what product photo works (straight on, plain background, label readable; lifestyle shots fail), how to match the eight presenters to product types, what the eight settings and four formats do, the 4-8 word hook plus 9-16 word line rule and why anything over 16 words breaks lip sync, common failures and their causes, and when to film the real thing instead. - [UGC Ad Script Examples: 30 Hooks and Lines That Sell (and Fit the Lip Sync)](https://www.getstarrd.app/blog/ugc-ad-script-examples): Thirty ready-to-say two-line UGC scripts sorted by product type (skincare, drinks, fitness, apparel, home, services), the hook-beat-line structure in one table, the buzzwords to cut, and the delivery notes that matter more than the words: product in frame before the first word, one claim, the call to action spoken last. - [The Best AI UGC Ad Generators in 2026, Judged on One Thing: Is That My Product?](https://www.getstarrd.app/blog/best-ai-ugc-ad-generators): Arcads, Creatify, HeyGen, MakeUGC, Captions, Icon and Starrd's Product Ad Studio compared on whether your real product is in the shot, who presents, and whether you pay per ad or per month. Verdict table up top, one honest section per tool, and a "how to choose" list by situation. - [Cómo hacer un anuncio UGC con IA a partir de una foto de tu producto](https://www.getstarrd.app/blog/como-hacer-un-anuncio-ugc-con-ia): Spanish edition of the Product Ad Studio walkthrough (hreflang-linked). - [Como fazer um anúncio UGC com IA a partir de uma foto do seu produto](https://www.getstarrd.app/blog/como-fazer-um-anuncio-ugc-com-ia): Brazilian Portuguese edition of the Product Ad Studio walkthrough (hreflang-linked). - [How to Make a TikTok Shop Product Video Without Filming Yourself](https://www.getstarrd.app/blog/tiktok-shop-product-video-without-filming): What a TikTok Shop product card needs (vertical, a face in the first second, product by second two, one spoken claim, under 20 seconds), how to generate one from a listing photo, which presenter and room read as a customer rather than a host, and how to post it: disclose the AI toggle, caption it as a pitch not a review, add sound in the app, pin the product. - [How to Make a Timelapse From One Photo (No Tripod, No Waiting)](https://www.getstarrd.app/blog/how-to-make-a-timelapse-from-one-photo): The complete how-to for generating a timelapse from a single still instead of shooting hundreds of frames from a tripod. Covers what makes a photo work (depth to move through, sky detail to change; blown-out white skies and close-ups fail), which of the 13 camera moves suits which scene, what the 1-12 hours setting actually controls (the time being compressed, not the clip length), the three quality tiers at 20/30/40 credits, why cropping before rendering sets the aspect ratio, and an honest section on when you should shoot the real thing instead — construction progress, a specific sunset, anything where the footage is evidence. - [The 13 Timelapse Camera Moves, and When to Use Each](https://www.getstarrd.app/blog/timelapse-camera-moves): The move vocabulary in detail, built around the three pairs people confuse. Truck travels sideways and reveals depth through parallax; pan rotates in place and does not. Push in moves the camera closer and keeps perspective natural; zoom in changes the lens and flattens depth. Pedestal raises the whole camera to sell scale; tilt angles it to sell a reveal. Includes a table of all 13 by what the photo has, why one strong move usually beats three stacked, and the case for static — a real tripod timelapse does not move, so removing the camera movement removes the main tell that a clip was generated. - [How to Turn Your Texts Into a Song (The TikTok Trend, 2026)](https://www.getstarrd.app/blog/how-to-turn-your-texts-into-a-song): The complete how-to for the viral text-to-song trend: screenshot a conversation, pull the words out with Live Text (iPhone) or Google Lens (Android), paste them as lyrics into an AI music generator, and pick a genre that takes them far too seriously.

Built around four stances that give the song a point of view: Hype, Roast, Love, and Narrator. Covers describing a photo well (the model cannot see it, so the description is the input), picking a genre that fights the photo instead of matching it, why pets are the most shareable subject, and the rule that keeps roasts funny: roast choices, never bodies. - [31 Funny AI Song Ideas (That Actually Land)](https://www.getstarrd.app/blog/funny-ai-song-ideas): Specific, usable AI song ideas grouped by source: your group chat, your camera roll, occasions (birthday, wedding, anniversary, breakup), pets, work, and petty grievances.

Covers gospel, opera, 90s power ballad, screamo, UK drill, country, sea shanty, Broadway, nature-documentary orchestral, reggae, lo-fi, trap and Gregorian chant, with what content each flatters and why over-serious genres beat comedic ones.

Covers photo selection, deciding the prize and its 3-5 specific junk features first (so picture and audio match), the de-branded 6-beat game-show prompt, swapping the prize via director's notes (a goat, a taco, a lowrider carcacha, an ex with a "sorry" sign), model choice (Seedance 2.0 for the host/announcer/crowd audio; also Sora 2, Kling, Veo), the flip-to-joy ending that makes the joke land, and posting.

Covers designing the edition name and three accessories first so audio matches picture, the roast-the-accessories-never-the-person rule, keeping the figure plastic for the whole video, the self-opening blister pack (no giant unboxing hands), model choice (Seedance 2.0 for the announcer/foley/jingle audio), and theming via director's notes.

Sparked by ESPN's roasted June 2026 AI "living portraits" of NBA legends, flipped so YOU are the one on the broadcast. Covers the reference photo, the two-part recipe (an image model bakes the crisp end-state graphic, Seedance 2.0 animates it on), the timed-overlay prompt trick, keeping the face barely moving (the lesson from ESPN's over-animated misfire), de-branding, director's-notes customization (name/number/stats/sport/color), and posting.

Explains that the sound is Russian TikToker @pasairiska doing a deliberate Conor McGregor impression (not McGregor, and not Bruce Lee), why the format needs motion control rather than a text prompt, why the pet must be reared onto two legs before the motion pass, why fluffy breeds clear moderation more reliably than short-haired ones, and which model to use (Kling 2.6 Motion Control, not 3.0).

The screaming karate man is @pasairiska ("Mad Pasha"), a Russian TikTok creator doing an intentional Conor McGregor impression — he tags his own videos #conormcgregor and resembles him, which is why the meme spread as "Conor McGregor cat" and "CONNOR CATGREGOR". The Bruce Lee framing (#brucelee, #kucingkungfu) attached later, only after the clip was mapped onto cats with AI motion control. Covers why the original is hard to find (no official name, keyword-spam captions, and no Know Your Meme entry — KYM's "Wawa Cat / Oh The Misery Cat" is a different meme about a cat named Kotaro), and how the cat versions are driven rather than prompted.

Distributed as a green-screen and CapCut template so creators composite the dog into their own footage; the AI version instead puts your own pet into the motion. Covers photo selection, the motion-control (motion-transfer) method, why the pet must be stood upright with its front paws separated from the torso before the motion pass, why the handshake beat fails when the paws are tucked in, which model handles it (Kling Motion Control), and how to post it.

Note: there is NO native 4K tier — 4K is a post-generation upscale, contrary to widely repeated claims - [Seedance 2.5 vs Seedance 2.0](https://www.getstarrd.app/blog/seedance-2-5-vs-seedance-2): Practical comparison of the two ByteDance models — 15s vs native 30s clips, ~12 vs 50 reference inputs, re-roll vs local-redraw editing, synchronized vs co-generated audio, prompt adherence and consistency gains, pricing, and why to keep using Seedance 2.0 now (skills transfer directly to 2.5) - [Seedance 2.5 Prompt Guide: The Complete Handbook](https://www.getstarrd.app/blog/seedance-2-5-prompt-guide): The full handbook for prompting Seedance 2.5 — the core formula, splitting 30-second clips into 3-5 timed beats, spending the 50-reference budget in layers (identity / world / style / motion / sound), keeping a real person's face consistent, audio direction, camera vocabulary, the parameters worth setting, corrected specs, and the failure modes that cost the most time. Hub for the whole Seedance 2.5 cluster - [Seedance 2.5 References: All 30 Images, 10 Videos & 10 Audio Clips](https://www.getstarrd.app/blog/seedance-2-5-references): The full reference stack, one modality at a time — what images, video and audio references are each genuinely good for, why references are numbered by UPLOAD ORDER rather than by type (which silently renumbers prompt tags), why order equals priority, scoping video references so they transfer motion without also copying the subject and location, and why 8-12 purposeful references beat 40 overlapping ones - [Character Sheet or Storyboard Grid?](https://www.getstarrd.app/blog/seedance-character-sheet-vs-storyboard-grid): How to BUILD the reference image rather than just attach one — six-view character sheets vs panel storyboard grids, which to use when, and three things rarely documented: a grid sequences by design so it produces hard cuts, any generated reference has already lost likeness because it re-renders rather than composites, and multi-view builds hold wardrobe and lighting but drift on limb position (which the video model then reads as a motion cue) - [How to Write a 30-Second Seedance 2.5 Prompt](https://www.getstarrd.app/blog/seedance-2-5-30-second-prompts): Beat structure for long clips — 3-5 beats with one job each, naming every transition so cuts don't become morphs, stating invariants when a subject reappears from behind an occlusion, staggering cause and effect, describing physical motion in contact phases, dialogue timing, and chaining past 30 seconds with return_last_frame - [How to Keep a Real Person's Face Consistent in AI Video](https://www.getstarrd.app/blog/seedance-keep-real-face-consistent): The likeness problem — identity reference first in upload order, narrow role labelling, never contradicting a reference in prose, repeating 3-5 visible anchors verbatim, the ~8-identity ceiling, and the finding that inverts standard advice: a HELD POSE holds while a MID-STRIDE photo drifts, because the model completes the action the frame implies. Photo selection outranks prompt wording - [Seedance Ignoring Your Prompt? The Real Causes](https://www.getstarrd.app/blog/seedance-not-following-prompt): A fault finder sorting failures into five classes (plumbing, moderation, prompt, input photo, model limit) because retrying only helps one of them. Covers references that silently don't bind, content refusals disguised as "Internal Error, please try again later", the word "fast" degrading motion, unstated transitions causing morphs, 真人实拍 placement (near the END, or you get Chinese dialogue), why long negative lists backfire, and an honest list of things Seedance will not do - [Seedance 2.5 vs MiniMax H3 (Hailuo 03)](https://www.getstarrd.app/blog/seedance-2-5-vs-minimax-h3): Both launched July 31, 2026 with opposite bets — Seedance goes long (30s single-pass, 50 references) while H3 goes sharp and open (native 2560x1440 at 24fps, 15s clips, 12 omni references, OPEN WEIGHTS).

Covers the glossy-from-frame-one look, the head-on-a-surface composition, varied hand moves, the prompt, and native-audio models (Seedance 2.0 / Veo 3). The Starrd Face Squish template does it in one tap. - [How to Make an AI Elastic Face Video (Stretchy Face Trend, 2026)](https://www.getstarrd.app/blog/how-to-make-an-ai-elastic-face-video): The guide to the viral AI elastic / stretchy-face ASMR trend — one selfie becomes a matte stretchy-rubber head on a marble counter that hands pull into long taffy strands and snap back, with synced stretch-and-snap ASMR. Covers how it differs from the squish trend (matte rubber vs glossy jelly, snap vs slow ooze), the composition, varied stretch moves, the prompt, and native-audio models (Seedance 2.0 / Veo 3). The Starrd Elastic Face template does it in one tap. - [How to Make a Breaking News AI Video (Empire State Climb Trend, 2026)](https://www.getstarrd.app/blog/how-to-make-a-breaking-news-ai-video): The guide to the viral breaking-news / Empire State Building climb trend — one or two photos become a fake live TV broadcast of you atop the spire holding a hand-painted banner with your own message (proposal, promo, birthday, flex), shot as a three-shot news-helicopter sequence with a reporter voiceover. Covers the believable-broadcast frame, the legible-banner rule, the chopper camera language, custom text via Director's Notes, and native-audio models (Seedance 2.0 / Veo 3). The Starrd Breaking News template does it in one tap. - [How to Make an AI Pet Spa Video (The Top-Down Pet Facial Trend)](https://www.getstarrd.app/blog/how-to-make-ai-pet-spa-video): The AI version of the viral pet-facial clips — one pet photo becomes a soothing 10-second top-down video of your dog or cat in a tiny towel turban getting the full facial: cucumber slices over the eyes, a slow cream massage, a foam-brush sweep, a cool mist, and a finishing cheek squish. Single locked overhead camera (the genre rule), close-mic'd ASMR audio with the pet's own contented purr or sigh, no music. The Starrd Spa Day template does it in one tap. - [How to Make the World Cup AI Video (Run Onto the Pitch and Score, From One Photo)](https://www.getstarrd.app/blog/how-to-make-world-cup-ai-video): The guide to the viral World Cup "fan runs onto the pitch and scores" trend that exploded during the July 2026 tournament — one photo becomes a 16:9 fake live-TV broadcast where you leap from the stands at a packed floodlit final, sprint past sliding defenders, rip a slow-motion top-corner goal, and knee-slide as the crowd erupts. Covers photo selection, the timed leap-run-goal-celebration prompt, the de-brand rule (generic unbranded kits and a fictional "GVN SPORTS" broadcaster — never a real league, team, or network), swapping the celebration/text/scenario via Director's Notes, native-audio models (Seedance 2.0), and how it differs from the quieter World Cup fan cam. Positions Starrd as the one-tap way versus manual prompting in Dreamina/CapCut. The Starrd Pitch Invader template does it in one tap. - [How to Make a Red Carpet AI Video (Met Gala Paparazzi Trend, 2026)](https://www.getstarrd.app/blog/how-to-make-a-red-carpet-ai-video): The guide to the viral red-carpet / Met Gala AI trend — one photo becomes a 12-second video where you step out of a black SUV into a wall of paparazzi flashes, walk the red carpet past a shouting press line, and pose at a step-and-repeat backdrop while an entertainment reporter announces "the star of the night has arrived," with crowd noise, shutter clicks, and a reporter voiceover. Explains how it's the moving upgrade of the AI Met Gala photo wave (a video, not a still), the timed door-flashes-walk-pose recipe, keeping the flashes from washing out the face, the legible fictional event wordmark on the backdrop, solo vs couple arrivals, customizing the outfit and paparazzi shouts via Director's Notes, and native-audio models (Seedance 2.0). The Starrd Red Carpet template does it in one tap. - [How to Make an Earth Zoom Out AI Video (The Zoom-to-Space Trend, 2026)](https://www.getstarrd.app/blog/how-to-make-an-earth-zoom-out-ai-video): The guide to the viral earth zoom out trend — one photo becomes a 12-second unbroken shot that opens as an ordinary ultra-wide 0.5x phone selfie and then pulls back off the ground, over the rooftops and coastline, up through the clouds and out past the atmosphere until the whole Earth hangs against the stars. Covers why the opening frame must look like a real photo rather than a drone shot (an overhead start makes the subject read as composited), the continuity language that stops video models cutting to a stock Earth shot partway through, the anchor-frame-plus-timed-segment prompt recipe, the scale-escalation ladder from person to planet, the audio arc that sells altitude, and reversing the clip for the arrival-from-space cold open. The Starrd Earth Zoom Out template does it in one tap. - [How to Make a Bullet Time AI Video (The Matrix Time-Freeze Effect, 2026)](https://www.getstarrd.app/blog/how-to-make-a-bullet-time-ai-video): The guide to the bullet time / Matrix shot effect — the frozen-moment camera move from The Matrix (1999), originally shot with a rig of over a hundred stills cameras fired in sequence, now generated from a single photograph. Covers the distinction people keep searching past: bullet time freezes everything including you and moves only the camera, while the TikTok "time stop" / "time freeze" trend freezes the world around you while you keep walking — same premise, opposite subject. Also covers why parallax, not the freeze, is what actually sells the shot (and therefore why a photo with separated foreground / subject / background beats a flat backdrop), how to choose the orbit direction (toward the side the face is turned, then toward the deeper open side of frame, never a full 360), the camera-path-only prompt recipe, the two-second dead opening caused by writing "the frozen moment holds still" in the first beat, and the honest limitation that no current text-to-video model holds a statue-perfect freeze — a depth-map parallax renderer is the tool for that. The Starrd Bullet Time template does it in one tap. - [How to Make a Skyfall AI Video (Falling From the Sky Trend, 2026)](https://www.getstarrd.app/blog/how-to-make-skyfall-ai-video): The guide to the viral Skyfall / falling-from-the-sky AI trend — one photo becomes a 12-second cinematic clip where you plummet past towering sunset clouds at full speed, the footage speed-ramps into weightless slow motion, and the camera glides over your wristwatch and outfit in a luxury fashion-film close-up pass before ending on your calm face drifting into a glowing cloud bank. Covers the three beats every viral version shares (speed contrast, the explicit "extreme slow motion, 10% speed" ramp line, the detail pass), the anchor-frame-plus-timed-video prompt recipe, common failure modes (no slowdown, all-floaty, melting faces, wrong mid-air anatomy), customizing the outfit/sky/close-up via Director's Notes, and native-audio models (Seedance 2.0). The Starrd Skyfall template does it in one tap. - [How to Do the 'Generate a Man Next to Me That Would Suit Me' AI Trend (2026)](https://www.getstarrd.app/blog/how-to-generate-a-man-next-to-me-that-would-suit-me-ai-video): The guide to the viral "generate a man next to me that would suit me" AI ideal-partner trend — upload one photo of yourself and AI casts the partner who'd suit you, upgraded here from a single still into a candid handheld home-video montage of a whole life together (morning coffee, cooking, a dressed-up date night, a coastal getaway, a night in), graded like a faded early-2000s camcorder tape. Covers the trend's lineage (soulmate-sketch to GPT-4o ideal-partner to the TikTok "generate a man next to me" wave), the storyboard-first prompt that keeps your invented partner the same person across every scene, the candid-not-posed rule, sex-agnostic "generate a girlfriend next to me" support, and native-audio models (Seedance 2.0). The Starrd "The One Who'd Suit Me" template does it in one tap. - [How to Make a Netflix Documentary AI Video of Yourself (2026 Trend)](https://www.getstarrd.app/blog/how-to-make-a-netflix-documentary-ai-video): The guide to the viral "me preparing for my Netflix documentary when the group chat gets leaked" trend — a fill-in-the-blank "me preparing for my Netflix documentary when ___" format where one selfie becomes the cold open of a dead-serious dramatic documentary about you: the camera is already rolling as you settle into the interview chair, a film clapperboard swings in and snaps, and you lock into a dramatic unblinking stare under one hard key light — deadpan footage you caption with your own trivial "scandal" when you post (the group chat gets leaked, the receipts drop, she used the last of the oat milk). Covers why the comedy is the contrast — documentary gravity applied to something petty — the reference photo, the settle-in / clapperboard-snap / dead-serious-lock prompt recipe, keeping the documentary lighting dark and the face completely serious, writing a short readable scandal caption to add when you post, customizing the genre and tone via Director's Notes, and native-audio models (Seedance 2.0). The Starrd My Netflix Documentary template does it in one tap. - [How to Make a Mini Me AI Video (2026 Tiny-Person-in-Hand Trend)](https://www.getstarrd.app/blog/how-to-make-mini-me-ai-video): The guide to the viral "mini me" / tiny-person-in-hand / pinch-cheek trend — one selfie shrinks you into an adorable hyper-realistic palm-sized chibi version of yourself standing on a giant open hand, where a huge fingertip boops your cheek and your tiny self grumpily swats it away and pouts before caving into a hug, shot like macro photography with a razor-sharp figure and creamy bokeh. Covers the reference photo (your real face on a chibi body), locking the scale with a contact shadow, the anchor-frame + timed-beat prompt recipe, the single biggest artifact — the cheek stretching or sticking to the finger because models have no physics, fixed with a light "boop" that lifts clean instead of a "pinch" — customizing the reaction and outfit via Director's Notes, and native-audio models (Seedance 2.0). The Starrd Tiny Me in My Hand template does it in one tap. - [How to Make a Future Baby AI Video (Me + My Partner Trend, 2026)](https://www.getstarrd.app/blog/how-to-make-a-future-baby-ai-video): The guide to the viral "what will our baby look like" future-baby trend — upload one photo of each partner and AI generates the baby you two might have, upgraded from a static face-mixer into a 15-second faded-camcorder home-video montage of one tender day: a sleepy morning crib yawn, first wobbly steps toward a parent, a messy high-chair breakfast, a golden-hour toss in the park, and a bedtime tuck-in. Covers the key trick (generate the blended baby first on a face-faithful reference model so it inherits from both parents, then animate), keeping both parents matching their photos and one unchanging baby across every scene, pushing the early-2000s DV-camcorder look so it reads nostalgic instead of like a stock baby ad, why it's entertainment not genetics, and native-audio models (Seedance 2.0). The Starrd Our Future Baby template does it in one tap. - [How to Make a 'Give Me Peanut Butter Please' AI Video (2026 Trend)](https://www.getstarrd.app/blog/how-to-make-give-me-peanut-butter-ai-video): The guide to the viral "give me peanut butter please" AI trend — the breakout of the "AI Cast" body-horror comedy wave (5.6M+ posts, tied to streamer idksterling) where one selfie becomes a creature that keeps your real, unchanged human face on a body of glistening creamy peanut butter with long spindly daddy-long-legs limbs. It skitters down a real city street on shaky phone-cam footage, snatches a peanut butter jar from a bystander's grocery bag, pours it over its head, spins to smear a peanut-butter ring, and rampages a grocery store while screaming the phrase in a high-pitched voice. Covers the reference photo, why the preserved photoreal face against the impossible body is the whole joke, locking the wet-glisten peanut-butter material and spindly-legged creature before animating, the timed skitter / snatch / pour / spin / rampage prompt recipe, the found-footage phone-cam realism rule, the common failure modes (cartooned face, clay-like material, cinematic camera), and native-audio models (Seedance 2.0 for the screamed catchphrase and grocery-store ambience). The Starrd Give Me Peanut Butter Please template does it in one tap. - [How to Make the Nun Cagnam Maje AI Video (Haaland Bathroom Song Trend, 2026)](https://www.getstarrd.app/blog/how-to-make-nun-cagnam-maje-ai-video): The guide to the viral "Nun Cagnam Maje" trend — the Neapolitan song by Christian Liguori & Rivreck (the title means "we never change") that took over football TikTok via an AI-generated clip of Erling Haaland singing it in a bathroom with pointing and kiss-blowing gestures on the beat. Covers what the song is and what the words mean, why the trend is a motion-control format (a fixed driving clip supplies the exact choreography so every version syncs perfectly — text prompts can't), the two-step recipe (a clean upright full-body still, then the motion pass on Kling 2.6 Motion Control), why baby and pet versions outperform the straight self-insert, and keeping your photo's own background. The Starrd Nun Cagnam Maje template does it in one tap. - [How to Make the Real Madrid AI Dance Video (Ngifuna Wena Trend, 2026)](https://www.getstarrd.app/blog/how-to-make-real-madrid-ai-dance-video): The guide to the viral Real Madrid AI dance — the amapiano routine from "Ngifuna Wena (Skin to Skin Remix)" by Weckly Jay (isiZulu for "I want you") that owned South African TikTok (2M+ challenge posts) and went global as the "Madrid dance trend" through CapCut's Real Madrid AI templates. Covers the song and what the words mean, the two stacked trends (the dance challenge + the AI wave), why every AI version syncs perfectly (motion control — the original dancer's performance drives the choreography, text prompts can't), the two-step recipe (full-body upright still, then the motion pass on Kling 2.6 Motion Control), and the pet/baby versions ("AI dog dancing amapiano" is its own trending search). The Starrd Ngifuna Wena template does it in one tap. - [The Best AI Video Generator Apps in 2026 (Honestly Ranked)](https://www.getstarrd.app/blog/best-ai-video-generator-apps): The 8 best AI video generator apps in 2026, ranked by what each one is actually best at rather than by raw model quality — Starrd, Sora, Veo, Kling, Runway, Pollo AI, PixVerse, and Viggle.

Covers why the routine syncs move-for-move (motion control: the original dancer's performance drives the choreography, which text prompts cannot do), the single upright full-body photo it needs, and why the versions that travel are the ones featuring someone who'd never actually do the dance. The Starrd Juju On That Beat template does it in one tap. - [How to Make the I Want You Back AI Dance Video (2026)](https://www.getstarrd.app/blog/how-to-make-i-want-you-back-ai-dance): Turn one photo into a clip of anyone doing the viral I Want You Back dance — the TikTok routine set to the Jackson 5 classic.

The Starrd Chanel Dance template does it in one tap. - [How to Make a Streetball AI Video (Blacktop Legend Dunk, 2026)](https://www.getstarrd.app/blog/how-to-make-streetball-ai-video): The guide to the AI basketball video — one photo in, and you're the blacktop legend hitting ankle-breaking crossovers and a monster dunk while a crowd loses its mind at the chain-link fence.

The Starrd Streetball template does it in one tap. - [How to Make an Open-World Game AI Video of Yourself (Third-Person Gameplay, 2026)](https://www.getstarrd.app/blog/how-to-make-open-world-game-ai-video): The guide to the "put myself in the game" trend — one photo becomes third-person open-world crime-game gameplay, with you walking city streets, stealing cars, and dodging police at a rising wanted level, HUD and all. Covers the gameplay-camera language that keeps it reading as a game rather than a film, the HUD and wanted-level details that sell it, and the recipe. The Starrd Open-World Game template does it in one tap. - [How to Make the Empire State Building Banner AI Video (Your Message, 2026)](https://www.getstarrd.app/blog/how-to-make-empire-state-banner-ai-video): The guide to the viral breaking-news trend where you climb the Empire State Building's antenna and unfurl a hand-painted banner carrying YOUR message — a proposal, a birthday, a promo, a flex — caught live on a news-helicopter broadcast.

The Starrd Pet Wake-Up Call template does it in one tap. - [How to Make an AI Documentary Video About Yourself (Prestige Treatment, 2026)](https://www.getstarrd.app/blog/how-to-make-ai-documentary-video): The guide to the "documentary about me" trend — one photo becomes a prestige documentary about your life, complete with the interview chair, archival-style B-roll, a swelling score, and a standing ovation.

Covers the detail-specificity rule (named in-jokes beat generic praise), genre choice, and the fact that the same flow covers weddings, anniversaries, and apologies. Shares as a branded video card rather than a bare audio file. - [How to Make an AI Song From One Idea (Text to Song, 2026)](https://www.getstarrd.app/blog/how-to-make-an-ai-song-from-an-idea): Type one line — the pettier and more specific the better — and get a real song with vocals about it for about 50 cents.

Covers the photo to use, the rules that keep the figure reading as moulded plastic instead of drifting back into a real person, and the announcer copy pattern. The Starrd AI Action Figure template does it in one tap. - [Viral AI Video Trends (2026): The Monthly Roundup](https://www.getstarrd.app/blog/viral-ai-video-trends-2026): The viral AI video trends actually worth making, organized by month — July, June, May, and April 2026.

Covers what the routine actually is (weight rocking side to side, shoulders and chest on the beat, hands working close to the chest, head nodding on the count) and why its small, centered movement maps onto subjects that big choreography breaks — babies, toddlers, pets. Also covers what "jawn" means (Philadelphia slang, an all-purpose noun; "that's the jawn" is roughly "that's the one"), why hands passing in front of the chest are exactly where motion-transfer tools like Viggle smear, photo selection, and AI disclosure. The Starrd That's The Jawn template does it in one tap. - [How to Make the Your Next Opponent Is You AI Dance Video (Baby Dance Remix, 2026)](https://www.getstarrd.app/blog/how-to-make-your-next-opponent-is-you-ai-dance): Guide to the dance cut of the "your next opponent is you" trend — the same "Congratulations, you're moving to the next level. Your next opponent is… you" audio (a voice-over on a remixed instrumental of Eclipse's "Welcome to My Crib", traced by Know Your Meme to @shannon__cahill's May 12, 2026 post), further remixed with a heavier beat and given a full routine that the AI baby dance wave adopted. Covers how it differs from Starrd's cinematic VS-screen face-off template on the same sound (face-off = the motivational cut, dance = the funny cut), what the routine is (upright and gesture-led: a slow sway, a point on "next level", arm swings, finger guns on "…you"), why a taunt performed by a baby is the joke, why CapCut/filter versions smear the hands and face on the point and finger guns (motion transfer) while regeneration plus motion control keeps them intact, photo selection, child-photo safety, and AI disclosure. The Starrd Your Next Opponent Is You Dance template does it in one tap. - [How to Make the Don't Play With Me AI Dance Video (AI Baby Trend, 2026)](https://www.getstarrd.app/blog/how-to-make-dont-play-with-me-ai-dance): Step-by-step guide to the Don't Play With Me dance — the TikTok routine set to "DON'T PLAY WITH ME" by Thompsxn Therapy, a gospel hip-hop single released December 29, 2025 on Pain to Power Records, whose chorus ("Don't play with me, God on my side, you can't prey on me / I'm too covered, you can't aim at me") became the sound behind 2026's viral AI baby dance wave. Covers what the routine actually is (upright and gesture-led: praise hands on "God on my side", a sharp point at the camera, head bobs and a two-hand shimmy on the beat), why a hands-and-face routine maps onto babies, toddlers and pets that athletic choreography breaks, why the CapCut/filter versions smear the face on the praise-hands moves (motion transfer) while regeneration plus motion control keeps it intact, photo selection, the caption trap ("don't play with me" alone is a generic meme — add "AI baby" or the artist), child-photo safety, and AI disclosure. The Starrd Don't Play With Me template does it in one tap. - [How to Make the David Blaine AI Dance Video (K-Trap Trend, 2026)](https://www.getstarrd.app/blog/how-to-make-david-blaine-ktrap-ai-dance): Step-by-step guide to the David Blaine dance — the TikTok routine set to K-Trap's UK drill track "David Blaine", released in January 2017 and pulled back out by TikTok in 2026, with K-Trap's own account posting versions of it. Covers what the routine actually is (upright and gesture-led rather than footwork-led: weight shifts, sharp pointing, hand flutters near the face, a wide arms-out spread on the drop, filmed down the middle of a street), why a hands-and-face performance suits motion control better than an athletic routine, why the casting is the joke on a routine built out of grown-man swagger, the name collision with the magician and how to search around it, photo selection, which of the circulating sounds to post with, and disclosure. The Starrd David Blaine template does it in one tap. - [How to Make a Henshin Transformation AI Video (The Seedance 2.0 Trend, 2026)](https://www.getstarrd.app/blog/how-to-make-a-henshin-transformation-ai-video): The henshin transformation trend explained end to end — what henshin actually means in tokusatsu, the beat-by-beat 15-second structure that works, and the one decision that separates a real transformation from an obvious costume. Covers why the mask has to seal shut (a bare human face inside armor reads as cosplay every time), why the first three seconds decide whether the clip drags, and why the last two seconds need to be an action beat rather than a held pose. The Starrd Henshin Transformations templates do it in one tap. ## Optional - [Full context for LLMs](https://www.getstarrd.app/llms-full.txt): Complete FAQ, all template details, and pricing information
