What you need before you start
Two photos and enough credits for the resolution you want. The first photo fills the person holding the gun, the second fills the person who takes the zombie look. Neither photo needs to be lit like the template, because the room, the cold window light and the memory field all come from the clip rather than from your uploads.
You do not need a location, a prop or an editing app. That is the whole point of the prepared scene.
Step 1: pick the photo of the gun holder
Use a recent, front-facing photo with even lighting and one person in frame. The face, hair, skin tone and outfit all come from this photo, so anything covering the face will carry into the render.
Avoid sunglasses and heavy filters. The template supplies the stance, the room and the timing, so a clean portrait is more useful than a dramatic one.
Step 2: pick the photo of the one who turns
The second slot wants a clear portrait of the other person, on a normal day. The clip supplies the template's zombie styling, so the photo should simply make the face and hair easy to read.
Keep one person in frame, use even light, and leave the makeup alone. If you want a pet pairing instead, the same slot accepts a dog or a cat photo, and a collar or name tag helps viewers tell the two apart.
Step 3: keep the template and set the frame
The scene is fixed, so the only settings that matter are the output ratio and the resolution. Leave the ratio on Auto to stay on the template's own 16:9 widescreen frame, or pick a vertical ratio when the clip is going to Reels, Shorts or TikTok.
Resolution sets both the detail and the cost: 480P uses 50 credits, 720P Standard uses 100 and 1080P Pro uses 200. The required credits are shown in the form before you submit, and nothing is charged until the paid task starts.
Step 4: generate and download
Confirm the credits, submit the task, and wait for the render. Most tasks finish within a few minutes, and the preview panel shows progress while the video service works.
When the clip comes back, preview it and download the file you want to keep. The result is a 15 second widescreen short that keeps the template audio, so the hug and the hard cut land together.
Step 5: add the sound and post
The render already carries the scene's own audio. If your feed is playing an emotional track, add it inside TikTok, Reels or CapCut and line the cut up with the beat you chose.
Common questions
Can I use two friends instead of a couple? Yes. The story works for any two people who matter to each other.
Do I need zombie makeup in the photo? No. The zombie styling comes from the template; a clean photo works better.
What if the generation fails? The unused credits are refunded automatically, and the failed task stays in your history so you can see what happened.
Is the gun real? No. It is part of a fictional scene and nothing is ever fired.
One rule before you upload
Only upload photos of yourself, or of people who have agreed to appear, and label the clip as AI-generated wherever the platform asks for it.
Try it
Upload two photos, keep the template, and render the story. The examples on the landing page show the same beats with the lead pair, a winter variant and a pet take.
