The whole walk, move for move

Every step toward the lens, every wide arm swing, every point of the champagne bottle and every word you mouth land on the same beats as the original, in one handheld take that ends out by the glass balcony.

The full pop-star look

You wear the loose green-and-lilac silk shirt and matching trousers over a white tank top, with layered pearl necklaces, while a bald, bearded bodyguard in black shadows you through the house. Pick Pet and your cat or dog wears it instead.

Deep dive

The Popstar video is pure pop-star fantasy: wake up in a mansion, champagne in hand, a bodyguard who never leaves your side. Its best-known moment is one long handheld walk, the star backing down a warm wood-panelled hallway in a green silk shirt and pearls, mouthing every word to the camera, with security right behind.

This template puts you in that walk. Upload one photo and you become the star: same hallway, same light, same swagger, every move and every word on the same beat, ending out by the glass balcony. Pick Pet and your cat or dog struts it instead, upright in the silk shirt and pearls.

The result is a 12-second vertical clip, ready to post. Swagger is funniest on someone who has never had a bodyguard in their life, so send it to the friend who needs to see it.

For the full walkthrough, with what happens in the 12 seconds, why a selfie beats a full-body photo and what a French bulldog does as the star, read our guide: How to make your own Popstar AI video.

Frequently asked questions

What is the Popstar AI video trend?+

Popstar is the viral mansion walk: a pop star in a loose green silk shirt and layered pearl necklaces strolls backwards through a wood-panelled mansion, mouthing every word straight to the camera and swinging a champagne bottle, while a bald, bearded bodyguard follows close behind. The AI version puts you in the pop star's place.

What do I wear in the video?+

The full pop-star look: the loose green-and-lilac patterned silk shirt and matching trousers, worn open over a plain white tank top, with layered pearl necklaces. Your face, hair and build come from your photo.

Does my mouth move with the words?+

Yes. Every step toward the lens, every arm swing and every word you mouth lands on the same beat as the original walk, in one continuous handheld shot.

Can my cat or dog be the pop star?+

Yes. Pick Pet and upload a clear photo of your cat, dog or other pet. It walks the mansion upright in the silk shirt and pearls, with its own face, fur and markings and round furry paws, mouthing along while the bodyguard follows. Pets vary more from run to run than people, so if one result misses, generate again.

Will it look like me?+

It keeps your face, hairstyle, skin tone and build. Use a close-up selfie or a head-and-shoulders photo with your face large, sharp and toward the camera, and only one person in it. In a full-body shot the face is too small and the likeness gets lost.

How long is the video, and what shape?+

12 seconds, vertical 9:16, ready for Reels, Shorts and stories. 480p by default, or choose 720p.

How many credits does it cost?+

180 credits at 480p and 271 credits at 720p.

Is this an official product of the music video?+

No. This is an unofficial template inspired by a viral trend. It is not affiliated with, sponsored by or endorsed by any artist, label or creator behind the original video.
