How to make the I Love the Smiths AI video
Last updated:
To make the I Love the Smiths AI video, you need one clear photo for Summer, and a second one if someone plays Tom. The elevator, the timing, the dialogue and the Smiths song from the film are already in the template. You don't need to find the clip, trim it or add the sound.
1. Photo 1 plays Summer
The first photo replaces Summer, the one on the right in the white sleeveless blouse. She's the one who talks: "I love the Smiths", "I said I love the Smiths", the line about good taste in music, the bit of the song she sings, and then she walks out when the doors open.
The shot is waist-up, so faces are big. They also glance at each other, so you're often seen from the side. Pick a sharp photo taken from the front, with even light, no sunglasses and nobody else in it. Your hair comes from your photo, not Summer's bangs.
2. Photo 2 plays Tom (optional)
The second photo replaces Tom, on the left in the grey cardigan and striped tie, with the headphones and the shoulder bag. He's in the frame almost the whole time, and he gets the last line, "Holy shit", alone in the elevator.
Roles go by upload order, not gender. If you'd rather be Tom and have your friend say the line, put their photo first. Skip photo 2 and Tom stays as he is in the film. Only use photos of adults who said yes; celebrities, public figures and kids aren't allowed.
3. Pick 6 or 25 seconds
6 seconds costs 5 credits, which the Try pack (USD 4.99) covers. It's the opening of the scene: Summer hears the music and says "I love the Smiths" twice. It's the cheapest way to see how your face looks in the elevator.
25 seconds costs 15 credits, which the Single pack (USD 9.99) covers. It's the whole scene: the song from the headphones, "You like the Smiths?", Summer singing along, the doors opening, and Tom's "Holy shit". It's a bit longer than the viral TikTok cut, which runs about 24 seconds, so nothing is missing at the end.
4. Generate and wait a few minutes
Confirm you have the right to use the photos and press generate. It takes a few minutes. You can leave the page; the video shows up in My videos. If a render fails, the credits go back to your balance.
The 25-second video is made in two parts behind the scenes, because the AI model does at most 15 seconds at a time. You still get one file. We cut it where both of them face forward and barely move, and we put the film's sound over the whole thing, so you don't hear the join.
5. Check it before you post
Watch it once. Look at the moments where they turn toward each other, around the first "I love the Smiths" and when Summer sings, since that's where a face is most likely to look off.
Your clothes might come from your photo instead of the film outfits. In our 9 November 2026 test with two photos, both people kept the sweaters from their photos. If you want the film look, take your photo in something plain.
6. Post it and say it's AI
Download the MP4 from My videos. It's 16:9 widescreen, like the film and the viral posts, so TikTok and Reels show it with bars at the top and bottom. Crop it in your editor if you want it full screen.
The film's sound is already on it. Many AI posts swap in "ghostin" by Ariana Grande instead; if you want that, add it in TikTok's editor when you post. Say it's AI in your caption. #ilovethesmiths and #ilovethesmithstrend are the tags people use.
