Step-by-step: make the video
1Upload 1 photo
Open the generator and tap the photo slot. Use a sharp, front-facing, waist-up photo with only one face. You keep your own clothes in the video.
2Pick 1 of 12 choirs
Classic robes, pet choir, skeletons, cats, dogs, pumpkin heads, angels, penguins, frogs, teddy bears, green aliens or grandmas. Each choir has its own fixed scene, so there is no prompt to type.
3Choose 9:16 or 16:9
9:16 portrait fills the screen on TikTok, Reels and Shorts. 16:9 landscape matches the original music video and suits YouTube and X. Both cost the same.
4Pick a quality and press Generate
480P uses 56 credits, 720P uses 112 and 1080P uses 224 for 14 seconds. Rendering usually takes a few minutes; you can close the page and come back.
5Download the MP4
Your clip appears in the result card and in My videos. It is 14 seconds long, has the original choir audio with a fade-out, and has no watermark.

Post it on TikTok
1Upload the MP4
Post the downloaded file as a normal video. A 9:16 clip needs no cropping.
2Keep the sound
The original choir audio is already in the file. You can also tag the “Closed on Sunday” sound so the clip shows up on that sound’s page.
3Caption the contrast
For example “me at the family reunion when they start singing” or “my dog refusing to join the choir”, plus #closedonsunday #closedonsundayai.
Edit it in CapCut (optional)
The MP4 works in CapCut and any other editor like a normal video. Common edits: add a text caption over the first seconds, put the original music video clip above yours as a side-by-side “original vs me”, or cut two of your choir videos together (for example you, then your dog). If you add a different sound, mute the clip’s own audio first so the two do not overlap.
If something goes wrong
| Problem | Fix |
|---|---|
| Face does not look like you | Use a sharper, front-facing photo with window light and no filters. |
| Two people in the photo | Crop to one person; the centre spot holds one subject. |
| Wrong framing for your platform | Make it again in the other format: 9:16 for phones, 16:9 for widescreen. |
| Render failed | The credits go back to your balance automatically. Try again or use another photo. |
