An AI video template is a tested prompt that recreates one viral format with your own photo. On MakeViral you add your photo and press one button: Nano Banana 2 puts you into the scene, then an image-to-video model animates it with original sound. You write no prompt, and you pay one price, shown before you start. Each page below has an example, the prompts and the price.

## What each template needs and what it costs

Credits are the one-tap price on each page: the scene photo and the video, charged once. The create page shows the exact price on the Generate button before you spend anything, and a failed video gives the credits back.

## How do these AI video templates work?

Most viral AI videos in September 2026 follow the same recipe. First an image model puts you, your friend or your pet into the scene of the trend: an orange studio booth, a 1985 living room, the front row of a cinema. Then an image-to-video model moves that still for 5 to 10 seconds and adds sound. The template is the pair of prompts that makes both steps land.

On MakeViral you do not need to paste anything. The "Make this video" button on each page opens the one-tap create page: add the photos and press Generate. Each page also has "Edit the prompts yourself", which opens AI Photo with the photo prompt filled in; the film button on the finished still opens AI Video with the still as the first frame and the video prompt filled in.

### What we leave out on purpose

The prompts never name a real song, artist, film, brand or sports team, and they ask for original music. Add the trending sound in the posting app. Use photos of yourself, of adults who agreed, or of your own pets.

## AI video template questions

### What is an AI video template?

An AI video template is a tested prompt, and sometimes a photo step before it, that recreates one viral video format with your own photo. You upload the photo, the image model builds the first frame, and the video model animates it. The template fixes the scene, the motion and the sound, so you only choose who is in it.

### Do I need video editing skills to use these templates?

No. Every template on MakeViral runs in the browser: upload a photo, press Generate, and download an MP4 with sound. Each page has the prompts to copy, a button that opens the app with everything filled in, and the credit price before you start.

### Can I use my own photos of friends or family?

Yes, if they agree. Use photos of adults who gave you permission, or photos of your own pets. Do not upload photos of celebrities or strangers. Some video models refuse images of well-known people, and a fake video of a real person can break platform rules.

### Do the videos use the original trend song?

No. The templates ask the model for original music or sound, so the clip has no copyrighted audio in it. If you want the trending sound, add it inside TikTok, Instagram or YouTube when you post, from their own licensed music library.

### How often do you add new templates?

When a format takes off. Viral AI video formats rise and fade within a few weeks, so we add a page once a trend shows real reach in several places, test the prompts, and date every page. The date on each template shows when we last checked it.

### Why are the people in the examples not real?

Every example on these pages was made from AI-generated people and pets, so no real person appears without consent. When you make your own, the video uses the photo you upload, and the result looks like you or your pet.

## Make your first trend video

Pick a trend, upload your photo, and download an MP4 with sound for TikTok, Reels or Shorts.
