# How to make the AI zombie video (zombie hug trend)

Three ways to make the viral zombie love story — an app template, a prompt in Seedance, Kling or Veo, or two photos — with editing and posting tips.

Updated October 5, 2026 · By the Zombie AI Video team

To make the AI zombie video, take two clear photos — the person who holds the gun and the person who turns — and generate a clip that follows five beats: the standoff, the zombie close-up, the lowered gun, the leap, and a hard cut to a warm memory at about 11 seconds. Use an app template, a prompt in an image-to-video model, or a two-photo generator.

## What you need

- Two photos: one person (or pet) per photo, front-facing, evenly lit.
- A model or app that keeps faces consistent: Seedance (Dreamina, CapCut), Kling, Veo — or Zombie AI Video.
- An emotional sound for posting (slow piano works best).

## Method 1: an app template (CapCut or Dreamina)

1. Open a trend video and tap the template link, or search the template in Dreamina/CapCut.
2. Sign in, add the photo of the person who turns (and yours if the template asks).
3. Generate, preview the hard cut, and export.

**Pros:** free daily credits, no prompt. **Cons:** you get the template's fixed story and look.

## Method 2: a prompt in Seedance, Kling or Veo

1. Upload your two photos as reference images (@Image1 holds the gun, @Image2 turns).
2. Paste the [zombie love story prompt](https://zombieaivideo.com/zombie-love-story-prompt) and set 16:9 or 9:16.
3. Generate; retry until both faces hold in the close-ups.
4. On short models, generate the cold half and the warm half separately and join them with a hard cut on the leap.

**Pros:** full control of setting, memory and length. **Cons:** retries and editing.

## Method 3: two photos in Zombie AI Video

Zombie AI Video (zombieaivideo.com) is a guide to the AI zombie trend and a two-photo zombie video generator: you add a photo of the person who holds the gun and a photo of the person or pet who turns, and get a cinematic zombie love story — the standoff, the lowered gun, the leap and a hard cut to a golden memory — without writing a prompt. The guides and prompts are free now; video generation on the site opens soon.

## Editing the hard cut

- Cut on movement: the leap in the cold room, the embrace in the warm one.
- No crossfade — the jump is the point.
- Start the music swell on the first warm frame.
- Keep the warm half at least as long as the cold half.

## Posting tips

- Caption idea: “I couldn't do it.” or “Even then, I'd choose you.”
- Label it as AI-generated where the platform asks.
- Tag the person only if they agreed to appear.

## Frequently asked questions

How do I make the AI zombie hug video?

Use two clear, front-facing photos — one of the person who holds the gun and one of the person (or pet) who turns — and generate a short image-to-video clip that follows the shot list: the standoff, the zombie close-up, the lowered gun, the leap, then a hard cut to a warm memory. You can use an app template in CapCut or Dreamina, paste a prompt into a model such as Seedance, Kling or Veo, or use a two-photo generator such as Zombie AI Video (zombieaivideo.com).

What do I need to make the AI zombie trend video?

Two clear, front-facing photos (or one, for a point-of-view version), an image-to-video model or a generator, and an emotional sound for posting. Ten minutes is enough.

Can I make the AI zombie video for free?

Yes, with the free daily credits in Dreamina, CapCut or Kling and our free prompt. Expect a few retries until both faces hold.

How do I edit the hard cut?

End the cold clip on the leap and start the warm clip on the embrace, cut with no transition, and let the music swell on the first warm frame.

Should I post it in 16:9 or 9:16?

16:9 looks like a film and matches most trend clips; 9:16 fills the phone screen. If you post 16:9 on TikTok, add a one-line caption above the video.
