## What is the APT Pink Studio Duo trend, and where did it start?

"APT." (ROSÉ & Bruno Mars) came out on 18 October 2024. Its video is one long party in a hot-pink studio: Rosé sings into a microphone on the floor, Bruno Mars plays a red drum kit, they lean on each other, sing into the lens and dance. By 15 October 2026 it had about 2.7 billion YouTube views. Cat versions followed within weeks: a cat dance video to the song, posted with #aptcat on 26 November 2024, had 7.6 million TikTok views by October 2026.

In late September 2026 the AI version took off. AI video tools can now copy a clip shot for shot and swap the faces, so people put two new faces into the studio, first famous ones, then their own. AI video sites turned it into a two-photo template from 29 September: photo 1 plays the drums, photo 2 sings. On 6 October a Peruvian couple posted their own APT AI video, the clip at the top of this page, and AI cat versions of the studio scene, the APT cat trend, run next to the people versions.

## How to make the APT Pink Studio Duo video on MakeViral

Everything runs in the browser. No editing app, no watermark.

### The one-tap way (no prompt to write)

1. **Add the two photos.** Press "Make yours" and add the drummer, then the singer (mic). Add them in this order, because the order decides who is who in the scene. Take them with the camera or pick them from your library. Start here: https://www.makeviral.ai/templates/apt-ai-trend/create
2. **Press Generate.** The button shows the price. Seedance 2.5 puts your photos into the APT Pink Studio trend clip and copies it shot by shot for 15 seconds, with the reel's original song. You write no prompt.
3. **Download or share.** The video is ready in up to several minutes as a 16:9 MP4. Download it, share it from your phone, or find it later in your Library.

### The by-hand way, with the exact prompts

The one-tap flow runs this prompt for you. The video prompt animates your own photo directly. To change it, copy it and edit it in AI Video.

#### Variant: Human

Settings: 2 photos (the drummer + the singer (mic)) · Seedance 2.5 · 15 s · 720p · 9:16 · no sound · 228 credits in one tap.

1. The video prompt is filled in. Settings: Seedance 2.5, 15 s, 720p, 9:16, sound off. The video prompt:

   ```text
   Generate a 16:9 live-action two-person music performance short.

[Reference logic] Use [Video 1] as the motion and camera reference: follow its moves, positions, the interaction of the two people and the camera rhythm, but never copy the looks, hair, clothes or bodies of the people in [Video 1]: those follow the photos. Never stretch a body to fit a move. Keep the relaxed, rhythmic music-video mood.

[Scene] The studio of [Video 1] from start to end: a bright pink studio, pink floor and background, a red drum kit, cymbals and black amps. No other place, no extra props, no extra people.

[Role replacement] [Image 1] takes the expressions and moves of the man in the red T-shirt and black sunglasses who plays the drums. [Image 2] takes those of the man in the light-blue denim jacket and white cap who sings into the microphone. Do not swap the roles, do not blend the faces.

[Person A] [Image 1], the drummer: at the drum kit, relaxed, into the music. [Person B] [Image 2], the singer: outgoing, close to the camera, an arm around A's shoulders, singing hand gestures.

[Moves and camera] Follow [Video 1] strictly: the shot from above, the drum-kit two-shots, the frame with black corners, the mouth close-up and the full-body dance at the end. Contact looks real: no hands through bodies. Mouths, moves and cuts stay on the beat. A real studio music video, natural skin, never plastic.

The drummer = the person in [Image 1], in EVERY shot: copy the exact face from [Image 1] - face shape, eye color and eye shape, eyebrows, nose, mouth, skin tone, age, hair color, hair length and hairstyle, and any beard, moustache, glasses or freckles. They wear the clothes from [Image 1]. NO sunglasses unless [Image 1] shows them, no red printed T-shirt.

The singer = the person in [Image 2], in EVERY shot, also from above and in the mouth close-up: copy the exact face from [Image 2] - face shape, eye color and eye shape, eyebrows, nose, mouth, skin tone, age, hair color, hair length and hairstyle, and any beard, moustache, glasses or freckles. They wear the clothes from [Image 2]. NO white cap and NO glasses unless [Image 2] shows them.

Never drift back to the original men's faces, never add or remove facial hair. Both change: no one from [Video 1] stays, also in the wide shots.

Shots:
1. 0-3.3 s, from above: the singer kneels on the pink floor, sings into the mic and reaches a hand to the camera; the drummer plays behind the kit.
2. 3.3-6.6 s, a frame with black corners: the singer leans on the drummer, both grin at the camera.
3. 6.6-11.7 s, at the kit: the drummer plays, the singer hugs them from behind and sings to the camera.
4. 11.7-12.8 s: an extreme close-up of the singer's mouth, with the skin tone of [Image 2].
5. 12.8-15 s, full body: both dance side by side on the pink floor.

One head per person, on their own shoulders. Exactly two people. No text, no logos.
   ```

2. Press Generate, then download the 9:16 MP4.

One-tap version of this variant: https://www.makeviral.ai/templates/apt-ai-trend/create?variant=duo

#### Variant: Pet

Settings: 2 photos (drummer pet + singer pet) · h3-recast · 15 s · 720p · 9:16 · no sound · 180 credits in one tap.

1. The video prompt is filled in. Settings: h3-recast, 15 s, 720p, 9:16, sound off. The video prompt:

   ```text
   Image 1 replaces the black cat who plays the red drum kit, in every shot, also in the big close-up of its face. Image 2 replaces the cream long-haired cat with the brown tabby face and blue eyes who kneels on the pink floor and sings into the microphone, then leans on the drummer and dances, in every shot, also in the close-up of its open mouth. Keep the face, eyes, ears, fur colors, fur length and markings from each image, with the natural body volume and proportions of that animal: never flattened, squashed, stretched or merged with anything. Keep the pink studio, the drum kit, the amps, the moves, the mouth movement, the cuts and the camera exactly as in the video. No text, no logos.
   ```

2. Press Generate, then download the 9:16 MP4.

One-tap version of this variant: https://www.makeviral.ai/templates/apt-ai-trend/create?variant=pet

### Which photo works best?

You need **two photos**, one person in each.

- **Photo 1 is the drummer** at the red drum kit. **Photo 2 is the singer** with the microphone, who kneels on the floor in the first shot.
- **A sharp face, turned to the camera**, in good light. Chest-up is enough, but a photo that shows your outfit helps: you keep the clothes from your photo, and the clip shows you full body at the end.
- **Glasses, a cap and facial hair stay as in your photo.** Want the sunglasses look? Wear them in your photo.
- **For the Pet version**, use two pet photos: pet 1 drums, pet 2 sings. A clear photo of the whole animal, its face in view, works best. Cats and dogs both work.
- Use your own photo, or the photo of an adult who said yes. Never a celebrity, a stranger or a child.

## How many credits does it cost?

You pay per video in credits, and the create page shows the exact price on the Generate button before you spend anything. The one-tap price covers the scene photo and the video, charged once. The cheaper models are there if you run the prompts by hand in AI Video.

| Video model | Settings | Credits |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Seedance 2.5 (this template) | 15 s, 720p, copies the trend clip, one tap | 228 |

Credits come with a plan; see [pricing](https://www.makeviral.ai/pricing). A failed video gives its credits back.

## What happens in the APT AI video?

The Human version copies the 15-second clip at the top of this page, shot for shot, with your two faces:

| Time | Shot |
|---|---|
| 0-3 s | From above: the singer (photo 2) kneels on the pink floor, sings into the mic and reaches a hand to the camera, the drummer (photo 1) plays behind the red kit |
| 3-7 s | An old-TV frame with black corners: the singer leans on the drummer's shoulder, both grin at the camera |
| 7-12 s | At the drum kit: the drummer plays, the singer hugs them from behind, fixes their sunglasses and sings to the lens |
| 12-13 s | A big close-up of the singer's mouth, singing |
| 13-15 s | Full body on the pink floor in front of the amps: you both dance side by side, fists up |

The clip is 15 seconds, wide (16:9) like the original, at 720p, and comes back with the clip's own sound, the APT. chorus. You can turn the sound off on the result screen. The exact price shows on the Generate button before you spend anything.

## Human or Pet: which APT version should you pick?

| Version | Photos | What you get |
|---|---|---|
| Human | 2 people: the drummer, the singer | You and a friend in the couple's APT AI video, with your own faces and clothes, the same cuts and moves |
| Pet | 2 pets: the drummer pet, the singer pet | Your two pets in the APT cat version: the singer pet at the mic, the drummer pet at the kit, then the dance |

The photo order is the same in both versions: photo 1 drums, photo 2 sings. The Human version runs on Seedance 2.5 as a video edit of the clip, the model the AI video sites use for this trend. The Pet version runs on a pet swap model that keeps each animal's own fur and face. Both take a few minutes.

## What goes wrong, and how do you fix it?

| Problem | Fix |
|---|---|
| The singer and the drummer are the wrong way round | Photo 1 always drums, photo 2 always sings. Swap your photos and run it again. |
| A face looks less like the photo | Use a sharp photo with the face to the camera, no hat brim or hand over it. A far, full-body photo gives the model too few pixels of your face. |
| The two faces blend | Use two photos with one person each. A group photo confuses the model. |
| A white cap or sunglasses appear | The prompt keeps your look from your photo. Run it again; a front-facing photo helps. |
| The mouth close-up is not your mouth | It is half a second of lips only. Every run is a new take, so a second run can come out closer. |
| The model refuses a photo | Some photos get refused. The credits come back; try another photo. |

## Which caption and hashtags fit?

**Caption ideas:** "Our turn", "Me and my bestie in the APT. studio", "Nobody asked, we did the APT trend anyway", "My cats when the APT music video comes on".

**Hashtags** (TikTok, 15 October 2026): #apttrend (9,291 videos, 94.4 million views, most of them the 2024 dance), #aptcat (1,773 videos, 27.3 million views) and #aptai (88 videos, 1.0 million views). Keep the platform's AI label on.

The sound on your clip is the clip's own sound, the APT. chorus. The song belongs to its owners, and MakeViral gives you no rights to it: if a platform mutes it, pick the official sound in the app when you post.

## APT Pink Studio Duo trend questions

### What is the APT AI trend?

It is an AI video trend from late September 2026: two people, or two pets, take the places of ROSÉ and Bruno Mars in the hot-pink studio of the APT. video. One plays the red drums, one sings into the mic, then they hug, sing to the camera and dance. Our template makes the APT AI video from two photos.

### How do I make the APT AI video with a friend?

Press "Create your own", pick Human, add photo 1 for the drummer and photo 2 for the singer, and press Generate. The button shows the price first. You write no prompt, and the video waits in your Library when it is ready.

### Is this made by or with ROSÉ and Bruno Mars?

No. MakeViral has no link to the artists or their labels. The names are only here because people search for the trend as APT Bruno Mars or the Rosé APT trend. Your video shows you and your friend, never the singers. Do not upload a photo of a celebrity.

### Is the clip at the top the APT music video?

No. The official APT music video is never on this page. The first clip is an APT AI video a Peruvian couple made with their own faces and posted on TikTok on 6 October 2026; the second is an AI cat version. Both are credited to their creators, and your video copies them.

### Is there a prompt for the APT AI trend?

No creator shared one, and the app templates show none. Media.io published the prompt of its own APT duo effect, a Seedance 2.5 video edit: keep the pink studio, the camera, the cuts and the moves, and give each photo one role. Our Human prompt keeps its words and order and adds what Seedance 2.5 needs to keep both faces.

### Can my cat or dog do the APT cat version?

Yes. Pick Pet and add two pet photos: pet 1 plays the drums, pet 2 sings at the mic, then both dance on the pink floor. It copies the APT cats of an AI cat video, the same shots with your pets' faces, fur and markings. An APT dog works the same way.

### How long is the video and what format is it?

15 seconds, wide 16:9 like the original clip, at 720p, as an MP4 with the clip's sound and no watermark. Crop it to vertical in your editor if you want it full screen on TikTok or Reels.

### Does the video have the song?

Yes. The model makes the video without sound, then we put the clip's own sound back on: the APT. chorus, in time with the mouths and the drums. You can turn it off on the result screen.

### Is there an APT CapCut template or a Dreamina template?

Some app templates exist, and TikTok how-to videos show them. This page is a web template: no app to install, no CapCut, no Dreamina account. Add two photos in the browser and you get the same pink studio duo.

### Is this an APT face swap?

Yes, in effect. The Human version swaps both faces into an AI copy of the pink studio scene, and the Pet version swaps two pets. Unlike a face swap on a still photo, the whole video moves with your faces: the drums, the mic, the hug and the dance.

### What is the APT meme?

The APT meme is the song's chant and its pink studio: since 2024 people have made dance videos, cat videos and edits to it on TikTok. The APT meme cat videos are AI or animated cats that sing and dance to it, and the AI duo video is the 2026 version.

### Is there an APT dance trend in the video?

Yes. The last shot is the dance: both of you on the pink floor, knees bent and fists up, in sync, like the trend dance at the end of the APT music video. The APT trend dance from 2024 is a separate TikTok dance to the same song.

### Is there a red cup game?

No. Our 15-second cut ends with the dance, before the drinking game at the end of the original APT video.

### Is the video real?

No. It is made with AI from two still photos, and you never stood in that studio. Use only your own photo or the photo of an adult who agreed, never a child, and keep the AI label on when you post.

### Is it the same as an APT AI video generator?

Yes. Sites call it the APT AI video generator, the APT MV AI maker or the APT pink studio template. Here you get the APT AI duo as a ready template: Human for two friends or a couple, Pet for two pets, with the APT music video look and no prompt to write.
