Three ways to post today

Pranks, moves and trend templates

Plain "look at this AI effect" videos get scrolled past. A real clip with something impossible in it gets watched twice and sent to the group chat.

${SCENE} Add a scene

Add a scene

Upload 3 to 10 seconds of any clip. Pick a prank. The AI scene starts from your last frame, then we stitch both into one MP4 with your sound.

${MOVE} Make it move

Make it move

A photo of you, your pet, a drawing or a toy. Pick a move, or upload a video of any dance and we copy the motion onto your photo.

69 ready AI formats: viral effects like Earth Zoom Out, Inflate and 360 Orbit, cartoon baby skits, the pet that turns into a tiger, the 4D cinema POV. Add a photo or nothing at all.

Why pranks

The AI demo era is over. The reaction era is here.

We measured median TikTok views on small accounts (under 10K followers) in October 2026.

"Look at this AI effect" demos~0.6K
AI pranks on a real clip6K to 17K
Meme motion (a photo copies a move)10K to 150K

Median views per format from TryThisTrend's own scan of public TikTok posts, a small sample of a few accounts per format. Ranges, not promises: your results depend on your clip, hook and timing.

Real beats fakeA real room, a real friend, a real pet. Then something impossible happens. That contrast is the whole joke.

The reaction is the postShow it to your partner, your mom, your roommate. Film their face. Post both.

No prompts, no editing appTwelve tested prank scenes and nine moves. Tap one, we handle the AI, the stitch and the tag.

Close the app, we email youVideos take 1 to 4 minutes. Leave the page and we email you the moment yours is ready.

Tag & share

"How did you make this?" answered for you

Every export carries a small "trythistrend.com" tag in one corner and a short "Made with TryThisTrend" end card. Once your paid plan starts, you can also download new videos without them.

  • Ready caption with "Made with @trythistrend"
  • Public share page with a "Make yours" button
  • Tagged posts can count for the creator program
The viral loop

Every prank you post brings the next prankster

People see something impossible in a real clip, ask "how?", and make their own. TryThisTrend builds that loop into every video.

1

Make & post. Your caption already says "Made with @trythistrend".

2

Viewers ask "how?" The tag, the trythistrend.com end card and your share link answer it.

3

They prank their own people with their own clip, and post it.

4

You get noticed. Creators who post often with the tag can apply to our creator program.

Prank Post + tag "How?" → link Their turn

FAQ

Everything you might ask

What is TryThisTrend?

TryThisTrend (say it: try this trend dot com) makes AI videos from your own clips and photos. Swap a funny face into any viral reel, add a prank scene to any video, make any photo move, or use one of 69 viral effects and trend templates. Every video comes with hooks and a caption to post.

How does Reel swap work?

Upload a reel you saved (TikTok Save video, Instagram Download or a screen recording) and pick one of 10 original funny characters or your own photo. We recreate the reel with the new star: same moves, same timing, the reel's own sound. A swap takes about 5 minutes and we email you when it is ready.

How does "Add a scene" work?

Upload a short clip (3 to 10 seconds is ideal) and pick a prank. We take the last frame of your clip, generate about 5 seconds of AI video from it with the prank happening, and stitch your clip and the AI scene into one vertical MP4. Your original sound plays first.

Can I use a photo instead of a video?

Yes. With a photo, the photo comes to life and the prank plays out in it.

How does "Make it move" work?

Upload a photo of a person, pet, drawing or toy and pick a preset move: the AI animates it from a description, so each video is its own take on the dance. For an exact copy of a dance, upload 3 to 6 seconds of someone doing it and we copy the motion onto your photo with a motion transfer model.

Can I add celebrities or famous movie characters?

No. Scenes use original characters, like "a superhero in a red and blue suit" or "a giant lizard monster", and we block real public figures and trademarked characters.

How long does a video take?

Usually 1 to 2 minutes; copying a move from a video takes 3 to 4, and a reel swap about 5. You can close the page: it keeps going, lands in My videos, and we email you when it is ready.

How much does it cost?

7 days free ($0 today), then $9/week. Cancel anytime: tap the chat button in the app and message us, or use Manage subscription on the last day of your free week. Cancel before day 7 and you pay nothing.

How many videos can I make?

During the free week: 3 videos, including 1 reel swap and 1 move copy from your own video. Once your plan starts: 5 videos every day, including 1 reel swap and 2 move copies. Failed videos never count.

Is there a watermark?

Every export has a small "trythistrend.com" tag in one corner and a short "Made with TryThisTrend" end card. Once your paid plan starts, new videos also come with a copy without them.

Can I swap someone else's reel?

Use reels you made or have the right to use, and credit the original creator when you post. A photo of a real person needs their permission. We refuse photos of children, famous people and explicit content.

How does the creator program work?

It is opening now. Post your pranks and moves with the "Made with TryThisTrend" tag and apply on the creator page. We review every application by hand and will reach out by email. Rewards are not live yet.

Can I post the videos on TikTok and Instagram?

Yes, they're yours to post. Only upload clips and photos you have the rights to, and only prank people who are fine with it.

Are my clips used to train AI?

No. Your upload is sent to the video model only to make your video. Deleting a video removes it from our servers, and during the free week videos are deleted after 14 days.

What are trend templates?

69 ready AI formats: one-tap effects like Earth Zoom Out, Inflate, 360 Orbit, Liquid Chrome and a two-photo Morph Transition, plus cartoon baby skits, cat and fruit drama, the pet-to-tiger bucket and the 4D cinema POV. Pick one, add a photo if it needs one, and get a vertical video.
