One of you points and presses a flat palm down; the other hops, folds and sinks. Then you swap. Eight seconds, 9:16, no editor, no prompt. - **2 photos** - **8 seconds** - **9:16 vertical** - **720p or 1080p** - **Trend sound included** - **No watermark** *Made from these two photos · 8s · 720p* ## The exact clip you get This is a real render from the studio below, made from the two photos next to it. Nobody filmed anything. ![Photo 1](https://tiny-desk-video.com/media/examples/hophop-photo-front.webp) ***Photo 1*** ![Photo 2](https://tiny-desk-video.com/media/examples/hophop-photo-back.webp) ***Photo 2*** Both seats are required. A one-person version breaks the joke, because there is nobody to squish and nobody to swap with. ## How the Hop Hop Hop AI video is made No timeline, no keyframes, no editing app. The action is fixed; you supply the two faces. 1. **01**### **Add two photos** One per person. The first photo takes the close-up; the second starts down the hallway. Both people appear in both halves, so both photos matter. 2. **02**### **Pick 720p or 1080p** 720p is the native render and the fastest. 1080p is an AI upscale of that same master, for feeds that re-encode hard. 3. **03**### **Download and post** An 8-second vertical MP4 with the trend sound already laid under it, no watermark. Sound and picture are locked to the same beats, so posting it does not drift. ## The two roles in the duo The format is a two-person camera trick. Whoever stands at the lens holds a flat palm over the person far down the hallway and presses down; they crouch lower and lower. The palm never touches anyone — they are metres apart and only line up from the camera. At the hard cut they trade places and it happens the other way round. ![The pointer](https://tiny-desk-video.com/media/examples/hophop-photo-front.webp) **The pointer** Starts at the lens. Points back down the hallway, raises a flat palm over their head and presses them down. Takes the close-up in the first half; after the hard cut they are the one down the hallway. ![The bouncer](https://tiny-desk-video.com/media/examples/hophop-photo-back.webp) **The bouncer** Starts far down the hallway. Hops on the beat, then folds and sinks as the palm comes down. Starts down the hallway in the first half; after the hard cut they take the close-up. Both seats are required. A one-person version breaks the joke, because there is nobody to squish and nobody to swap with. ## What photos work for Hop Hop Hop AI The model has to keep both faces straight across a hard cut, so the photos do most of the work. ### **Works** - One adult per photo, face to camera, unobstructed. - Full body or knees-up framing — the sink needs visible legs on the far person. - Even light, no heavy filters, no sunglasses. - Both photos of the same kind: if one is a headshot and the other a full body, the swap reads unevenly. ### **Breaks it** - Group photos, or two people in one frame. - Screenshots, stickers, or faces covered by a hand. - Minors, celebrities, or anyone who has not agreed to appear. Upload only photos of adults who have agreed to appear. Label the result as AI-generated when you post it. ## Hop Hop Hop AI pricing One price per finished video. Credits never expire, and a failed render returns them automatically. 720p **$9.99** **10 credits** Native render · fastest 1080p **$16.99** **17 credits** AI upscale of the 720p master Credits come in packs; the per-video figure above is the single-pack price.
