It is a short AI video made from a photo of someone who has passed away and a photo of you, in which the two of you share a long, gentle hug. On Rap Cut it is the AI Memorial Hug effect: soft light, quiet piano, no speech, and it works with old and scanned photos.
Open this page, add a photo of them and a photo of you in the generator (or one old photo of you together), keep Memorial Hug selected in the Effects tab and press Make the effect. The MP4 is usually ready in 2 to 5 minutes.
One clear, front-facing photo of each person, from the waist or chest up. A scanned print, a faded snapshot or a black-and-white portrait works if the face is sharp enough to recognize.
Yes. The model is asked to show both people in natural color as real people in the same light, while keeping their face, hair and clothes. A clear face matters more than the color or quality of the print.
Yes. Switch the photo step to One photo and upload the picture with both of you side by side. Whoever is on the left of the photo stays on the left in the hug.
Their face, hairstyle, age and clothes come from their photo, so the likeness depends on how clear it is. It is an imagined moment made by an AI video model, not a recording, and small details can differ; if one photo does not feel right, try another.
No. The clip has soft piano and a quiet breath, with no speech, and this effect does not recreate anyone’s voice. It is a hug, not a conversation.
Not here. Every clip is rendered on a paid video model, so it costs credits from the first one. The cheapest clip is 3 credits (5 seconds, 480p), the smallest pack is 10 credits for $9.99, and a failed render always gives its credits back.
On the Standard model: 5 seconds is 3 credits at 480p or 5 at 720p, 10 seconds is 9 credits at 720p and 15 seconds is 13 credits at 720p. The button shows the exact price before you pay.
No. The hug, the light and the music are already set up, so you only add the photos. It runs in your phone or desktop browser: upload, render, download.
Only you. The clip stays private in My videos for 7 days and is never posted to the showcase unless you choose to share it. Download the ones you want to keep.
They are used only to render your clip, deleted within 2 days and never used to train models.
Yes. Upload your pet’s photo as one of the two pictures. Pets stay animals, with their own ears, eyes and fur, and the hug becomes a gentle cuddle.
Often on an anniversary or a birthday, on Día de Muertos or All Saints’ Day, for Mother’s Day or Father’s Day, for a wedding where someone is missing, or as a short moment in a celebration-of-life slideshow.
You can pick 5, 8, 10, 12 or 15 seconds, in vertical 9:16, square 1:1 or landscape 16:9. Five seconds covers the look and the hug; longer clips hold the hug longer.
If a clip fails, times out or is blocked by a safety check, its credits go back to your balance automatically. You can then try again with a clearer photo.
AI Hug is bright and playful, for partners, friends and family who are still here. AI Memorial Hug is slower and quieter, in soft hazy light, and it is written for old and scanned photos of someone who has passed away.
