The short answer
An AI clone video turns one photo into the clone trick: copies of you step out to the side, one by one, until a full line of identical yous stands along a sunny street and hits the same pose. Upload a selfie or a photo of two people, leave Clones as the effect and press Make the effect; minutes later the clip arrives, with a punchy beat and a whoosh for every copy. No tripod, no green screen, no masking. 5 seconds at 720p costs 5 credits, and a failed render is never charged.
One photo, a whole crew of you
The clone video is the kind of clip people watch twice: one person, then two, then an entire line of the same person posing in sync. Doing it for real meant a tripod, several takes and patient masking in an editor. Here it begins with a photo of you, and every copy in the line wears your face.
How to make an AI clone video
- Upload a photo. A sharp selfie facing the camera works best; one picture with two people works too.
- Leave Clones selected. Or choose a different effect from the grid.
- Tap Make the effect. A few minutes later, download the clip.
Tips for better clones
- Show more of yourself. A knees-up or full-length photo leaves room for the row of copies to stand.
- Light your face evenly. Each clone copies the face in your photo, so clarity beats a fancy background.
- Bring a friend. Two people multiplied into one crowd is the version that gets shared.
More effects and a rap
The same picture works with Earth Zoom Out, Money Rain, Turning Metal, Disintegration and the rest on the AI video effects page, or try the Earth zoom out on its own. Or open the Rap video tab and turn you and a friend into a rap duo.
