How to make the 24K Magic AI video, step by step
This tutorial shows how to make the 24K Magic AI video that stays closest to the original clip: the same 30-second scene, the same cuts and camera moves and the same sound, with your faces in it. You need 1-2 photos and no prompt, editing app or download of the TikTok.
Real videos from this maker, unedited, made November 4, 2026 with photos of AI-generated sample people.
What you need
- 1-2 photos: Photo 1 (the dancer): does the whole cruise deck dance: the grin in the doorway, the kicks, the squat and the splits. One person; Photo 2 (the friend, optional): watches from the corridor, grins, hides under a blanket and pops out of a vent with the flare gun. Leave it empty and an AI friend plays the part.
- 100 credits ($8.90 paid once, less with a plan), taken only when the video finishes.
- about 5–10 minutes of waiting. You can leave the page.
- A phone or a computer with a browser. No app, no editor, no account on another AI tool.
Step-by-step: make the 24K Magic AI video
Open the template
Go to the 24K Magic AI page on Remake Your Meme. The maker sits next to a real 30-second result, so you can compare it with the original clip before you spend anything.
Choose 1-2 photos
The 24K Magic AI video needs 1-2 photos: photo 1 is photo 1 (the dancer) (does the whole cruise deck dance: the grin in the doorway, the kicks, the squat and the splits. One person); photo 2 is photo 2 (the friend, optional) (watches from the corridor, grins, hides under a blanket and pops out of a vent with the flare gun. Leave it empty and an AI friend plays the part). Use one person per photo with the whole face visible, ideally front-facing and sharp.
Upload and confirm
Drop the photos into the maker and confirm that you have permission to use them. They go straight to private storage and are deleted with the video after 30 days.
Keep the trend sound
Leave "Trend sound" on to get the audio of the original clip under your video. Choose "No song" if you want to add the official sound inside TikTok instead.
Start and wait
Press "Make my video". The 24K Magic AI video usually takes about 5–10 minutes. You can close the tab or start another one; the video waits in Your videos, and we email you when it is ready.
Download and post
Download the 30-second 16:9 MP4 without a watermark and post it on TikTok, Reels or Shorts. Label it as AI-generated where the app asks, and tag the people in it.
Why this remake stays almost identical to the original
Most AI versions of this trend are generated from a prompt and a reference image, so the room, the timing and the camera drift away from the clip. Here the original clip is the starting point: we turned it into a depth video that keeps where everyone stands, how they move and how the camera moves, but drops the original faces. The video model films the scene again on that depth video, with empty sets rebuilt to match the original and your photos as the people.
What stays exactly as in the original
- The 30 seconds and ten shots of the 24K Magic AI video by @theraguler: the doorway grin, the kicks on the deck, the squat by the stairs, the friend in the corridor, the flare gun, the splits and the vent.
- Every camera angle, cut and dance move, taken from the clip as three depth videos.
- The cruise ship top deck in late afternoon sun, the sea, the funnels and the stairs.
- The 24K Magic sound of the clip, laid under the finished video.
What changes
- The dancer and the friend come from your photos; with one photo the friend is an AI-made person.
- The dancer wears a dark t-shirt and black trousers in every shot, like the original.
- The video is made in three parts, cut on the original shot changes, then sharpened to 1080p.
How to get the closest result
- Use a photo that shows the dancer to the knees or full body: most dance shots are wide.
- For the friend a sharp face photo is enough: most of their shots are close-ups.
- One person per photo; group photos confuse who dances.
Three ways to make a 24K Magic AI video almost identical to the original
| Method | How close to the original | What you do |
|---|---|---|
| This maker | Very close: built from the original clip, with the scene, cuts, camera and sound already set up. | Add 1-2 photos and press one button. Failed videos are refunded. |
| Motion transfer in other AI video apps | Very close: those apps keep the motion, camera and timing as filmed and rebuild everything else from your references. | Find and download the original clip, upload it with your photos, describe the swap, check every shot, then add the sound back. |
| Prompt and a reference photo | Loose: the model invents the room, the timing and the camera again on every run. | Write a long prompt for every shot and retry until the scene looks right. |
The manual way, for comparison
This is how people make the 24K Magic AI video with a general AI video tool. It works, but every step is a place where the result drifts from the original:
- Find a deck, a corridor and a friend willing to film ten shots, and learn the kicks and the splits.
- Cut the shots in CapCut on the beat of "24K Magic" and add the sound.
- Or ask an AI video app to animate one photo, which gives one shot, not the ten-shot story with a friend.
Photo tips for the 24K Magic AI video
- Use one sharp photo per person, with only that person in it and the face clearly visible. A photo to the knees or full body helps the dance shots.
- The dancer wears a dark t-shirt and black trousers in every shot, like the original, so the outfit in your photo does not matter much.
- For the friend, a face photo with an expression you like works well: most of their shots are close-ups.
