How to make Hotel Lobby AI video clips in 5 steps
1. Pick two photos
You need one photo per performer: you and a friend, a couple, siblings, or a person and a pet. Separate photos work better than one group photo, because each face gets its own reference.
What works:
- One clear face per photo, looking at the camera or slightly to the side.
- Half-body photos are fine. So are everyday backgrounds: we tested a café photo and a living-room selfie and neither background showed up in the video.
- Glasses, beards and hats are kept.
What to avoid: heavy filters, sunglasses, faces turned far to the side, and photos with several people in them. Everyone must be 18 or older, not a public figure, and happy to be in your video.
Two everyday photos in, one Hotel Lobby AI video out.
2. Upload them and choose left and right
On the Hotel Lobby AI generator, upload Photo 1 for the left side and Photo 2 for the right. For each side, choose Person or Pet. In the routine, the right performer does the bigger moves — the pointing and the spin — so put your most dramatic friend (or your cat) on the right. If you pair a person with a pet, put the pet on the right.
Then pick a format: vertical 9:16 for TikTok, Reels and Shorts, or horizontal 16:9 like the original show. Both cost the same.
3. Check your free preview
Confirm the consent checkbox and request your free preview. In one or two minutes you get a watermarked still of the two of you in the orange booth, under the silver mic. You get two free previews a day. If a face looks off, try a sharper, more front-facing photo before you pay.
4. Pay once and download your Hotel Lobby AI video
One video costs $4.99, or $11.99 for three and $29.99 for ten. Credits never expire and there is no subscription. Enter your email so you can find your video on any device. The 15-second, 720p video is usually ready in three to four minutes. If it fails for technical reasons, your credit comes back automatically.
5. Add the Hotel Lobby sound and post
Your video is silent on purpose: we don't ship copyrighted music. Every viral Hotel Lobby AI video is posted with the sound from the original COLORS performance, and that is also how the moves line up.
On TikTok:
- Upload your video and tap Add sound.
- Search Hotel Lobby and pick the sound the trend videos use.
- Keep the sound starting from the beginning. Our routine follows the same timing as the trend, so the point, the spin and the hush land where viewers expect them.
On Instagram Reels and YouTube Shorts, use Add audio or Add sound the same way. Our Hotel Lobby song guide explains which track it is.
Hotel Lobby AI tutorial: what your video will look like
Every Hotel Lobby AI video follows the same 15-second routine as the trend:
| Time | What happens |
|---|---|
| 0–4 s | Medium shot. The right performer points; the left one nods with hands together. |
| 4–8 s | Close-up. They face each other and trade gestures. |
| 8–12 s | The right performer covers their face with an arm, spins around and turns back. |
| 12–15 s | Tightest shot at the mic: a "hush" finger, then they point at each other. |
That fixed routine is the difference between a generic AI rap clip and the Hotel Lobby trend. We explain how we found it in how we built Hotel Lobby AI.
How to make Hotel Lobby AI video with a pet
This is also how to do the Hotel Lobby trend with a pet, which is the funniest version — the two-cat clip is the most viewed one. Upload a clear photo of each animal and choose Pet for that side. They stand up on their hind legs and use their paws like hands. See more in our Hotel Lobby AI cats guide.
Common questions
How long does it take to make Hotel Lobby AI video clips?
About five minutes in total: one or two minutes for the free preview, then three to four minutes for the video after you pay.
How to do Hotel Lobby AI without writing a prompt?
You don't need one. The template already contains the scene, the silver microphone and the routine. If you want to write your own prompt for another tool, our Hotel Lobby AI prompts page has them.
Is it free?
The preview is free (two a day, watermarked). The finished video is $4.99. Details in is Hotel Lobby AI free?
How to make Hotel Lobby video clips look like the real trend?
Keep the 15-second length, post with the official sound from the start, and don't speed the clip up. Faces come out best from sharp, front-facing photos.
Will it look exactly like my preview?
Close, but not identical: the preview is a still and the video is generated separately from your original photos.
