How to Make an AI Zombie Trend Video Without CapCut

You do not need CapCut to create the core AI zombie trend video in Zombie Trend AI Video. The service uses a built-in two-photo story template: choose the story type, add two reference photos, choose resolution and frame, confirm permission, and request review. An approved finished video appears in My Creations.

This does not mean you can reproduce every version of a social-media trend without an editor. The tool creates a fixed fictional story; it does not offer a blank timeline, custom transitions, shot-by-shot direction, a custom prompt, or an uploaded soundtrack. Use this guide when you want a complete template output first and may decide separately whether to make a platform-specific post later.

What the built-in template handles

Start on the creator and select one of two modes.

Couple uses two adult photos. The person in the first slot is the survivor role in the opening scene; the person in the second slot receives zombie styling in that fictional scene.
Pet uses one adult photo followed by one dog or cat photo. The adult is the owner role, while the pet receives the fictional zombie styling.

The templates create a multi-scene story that later moves to a healthy memory. Current targets are about 26 seconds for Couple and about 24 seconds for Pet. They are not a promise of an exact duration, visual continuity, identity match, or specific action. The generated video can change clothing, pose, lighting, camera framing, facial detail, pet markings, or sound timing.

Use two separate images, with one intended subject in each. For an adult, a clear front-facing face in even light provides a stronger visual reference than a dark, filtered, partial, or group image. For a dog or cat, show the full face with visible eyes, ears, and characteristic coat markings. The current uploader accepts JPG, PNG, and WebP files up to 8 MB each.

Only upload material you are entitled to process. Each recognizable adult must be an adult and must have given clear permission for this specific fictional AI use. Do not use minors, public figures, or someone else's image without the required permission. The AI Generation Disclosure explains that the references influence appearance but do not authenticate identity or prove consent.

Create the template video

Sign in and verify your email. Private photos cannot be added until this is complete.
Select Couple or Pet. Assign the first and second photos to their displayed roles; do not assume they are interchangeable after submission.
Review both image previews. Replace a photo before requesting review if the wrong person, pet, or crop is visible.
Choose 480p or 720p. The current cost is 100 credits for 480p and 200 credits for 720p.
Choose 9:16 for vertical playback or 16:9 for a wide frame.
Confirm the rights-and-consent statement only if it accurately describes your photos and selected story.
Request input review. Check My Creations, rather than sending another request immediately if the status is still pending.

The workflow includes administrative review of inputs before generation and of stored output before delivery. Review does not guarantee that every concern is caught, and it does not promise delivery by a particular time. A request can be held or declined under the Acceptable Use Policy.

Sound, music, and posting are separate choices

The current template asks for model-generated nonverbal voices, animal sounds, and environmental effects. It asks for no dialogue and no background music. That is an instruction to the model, not a guarantee that every output has perfectly synchronized sound or no unintended audio.

Download and check your video

Open the completed task in My Creations, play it through with sound, and select Download. Save that original file before adding a song. Check the opening, the change to the memory, and the ending; listen for unexpected speech, music, or sound that does not fit the scene. Downloading a file does not fix a face mismatch or missing action, so review the actual result before sharing it.

Add a sound in TikTok

You can finish this step inside TikTok without a CapCut timeline:

Tap + and upload the downloaded video from your device.
Continue to the editing preview and open Sounds or Add sound.
Search for a sound available to your account, preview it, and select it.
Play the post preview with headphones. Where volume controls are available, balance the added track against the video's existing voices and effects.
Check the framing, add an AI-generated disclosure, and review the audience before you post.

TikTok documents adding sound to an uploaded video in its sound walkthrough. Control names and placement can vary with the app version. For content promoting a brand, product, or service, TikTok recommends its Commercial Music Library unless you have the necessary music rights separately.

Prefer Instagram Reels?

Start a Reel with the original downloaded file, then use the Audio control to choose from the music available to your account. Preview the resulting mix before sharing. Instagram's licensed music library is intended for personal, non-commercial use; some business accounts, post types, and regions have restricted access. Meta describes library access and Sound Collection as an alternative for eligible commercial uses. A sound available on TikTok is not automatically licensed for an Instagram upload, so make each post from the original file and select its audio separately.

You can also share an approved video with its generated sound alone. Label it as AI-generated rather than presenting it as a real incident or endorsement.

If your goal is a cut to a specific beat, a caption sequence, or a custom ending, you will need an editor after the template is delivered. That is a separate editing workflow and does not change the original generator's fixed story. Do not upload copyrighted music or footage unless you have the rights needed for that use.
