The trend
What is the AI New Year hug trend?
The goodbye-2026, welcome-2027 trend is a meet-your-other-self clip for the turn of the year: two versions of one person, the one who made it through the year and the one stepping into the next, meet and hug at midnight. It is a tender, shareable way to close a year.
This generator makes that clip from one photo. Pick a setting and the model creates both versions of you, keeps your face and build, dresses the new-year one a little brighter, and films the meeting and the hug as a single shot.
The clips are made without on-screen text, so there are no baked-in year signs. Add 2026 and 2027 captions, a countdown or your own greeting in an editor, where the lettering will be sharp and spelled right.
The window is short. People post year-end clips from late December to the first days of January, and a page needs time to be found, so this one is built to be published early and used through the New Year.

Photo tips
Photos that work best
- Use a photo where your face is sharp and fills a good part of the frame.
- Even, natural light beats harsh flash or strong shadows.
- One person per photo. The tool makes two versions of that one person.
- A half-body photo carries your outfit and build into both versions.
- Keep the detail short, such as "new-year me in gold". Long notes dilute the scene.
- Add year captions in your editor; generated lettering is unreliable.

Does it make a video?
Yes. You get an 8-second vertical MP4 with ambient sound, not a still image.
How does one photo become two people?
The model creates two versions of the same person from your photo: one in everyday winter clothes and one a little brighter. They are both you, so use a clear photo of one person.
Will the clip show 2026 and 2027?
No. The clips are made without on-screen text because generated lettering is often garbled. Add the years as captions in your editor.
How much does one video cost?
Standard 8-second videos cost 200 credits and Ultra 470 credits. Credit packs are one-time payments, and a failed render refunds its credits automatically.
Will it still look like me?
The model works from your photo and is told to keep your face, hair and skin tone in both versions. A clear, well-lit photo gives the closest likeness.
What happens to my photo?
It is used only to make your video. Your results are listed only in your own account.
Why did my video fail?
Usually the photo was too dark, blurry or had several people. Your credits are refunded automatically; try again with a clearer single-person photo.
How long is the video?
Eight seconds, 720p, vertical 9:16 with ambient sound, so it fits TikTok, Reels and Shorts without cropping.
Can I download without a watermark?
Results are delivered without a watermark in the quality you chose.
