# Hop Hop Hop AI FAQ

### What is the Hop Hop Hop AI trend?

It is the TikTok trend where one person at the camera "squishes" a friend far behind them with a flat palm, then they swap and it happens again, to a sped-up cut of Shluzov's "Её парень". It crossed over to English TikTok in October 2026 as "squished or get squashed", and the AI versions put new people into it.

### How do I make a Hop Hop Hop AI video?

Upload your photo and your friend's, or one photo of you both, and tap the button. You see a picture of you squishing your friend first; say yes and we make a free 4-second preview. If you like it, unlock the full 8-second video with the swap and download it.

### What app are people using for the squished or get squashed trend?

Most AI versions come from photo-to-video tools or CapCut templates. Hop Hop Hop AI is made for this one video: one or two photos, in your browser with no app to install, and a free preview first.

### Does it follow the trend shot for shot?

Yes. Your video has the same 8 seconds as the hallway take: the point, three hops on the beat, the palm squish, the hard cut where you swap, and the second squish.

### Do I need two photos?

No. One photo is enough: you start at the camera and the friend from our example video stands down the hallway. Add a friend's photo and they take that spot.

### Who squishes first?

The first photo starts at the camera and squishes first. After the swap the second person is at the camera and squishes them back.

### Can I use one photo of both of us?

Yes. Upload one photo with the two of you and each of you fills a spot. More people in the photo? Pick who to use.

### Does the video include the Hop Hop Hop song?

Yes. Full videos come with the sped-up trend sound lined up, and you can also download a silent MP4. To use TikTok's own sound instead, post the silent one, add "original sound - venadeaakira" and start it at 0:00. The song belongs to its owners, and we grant no rights to it.

### Is there a free Hop Hop Hop AI generator?

Yes, one free preview per device: the first 4 seconds with the hops and the squish, watermarked. The full video adds the swap and the second squish.

### Do our clothes change?

No. You both keep your own face, hair and the clothes in your photo. The grey hallway comes from the trend.

### What photos work best?

A clear face for each person, facing the camera, evenly lit. Selfies from the shoulders up are fine. Avoid sunglasses, masks, heavy filters and tiny faces in wide shots. JPG, PNG or WEBP, up to 25 MB each.

### Why doesn't my video look like me?

Most often the photo is the cause. Try a sharper, front-facing one and check the free preview again. The full video is made again from the same photos, so small details can differ from the preview.

### How long is the video and how fast is it made?

8 seconds, vertical 9:16 for TikTok, Reels and Shorts, in HD (720p) or Standard (480p), as an MP4 with no watermark. The free preview takes about 5 minutes and a full video usually takes a few minutes. You can close the page; it waits for you under My videos.

### How much does a Hop Hop Hop AI video cost?

The preview is free. A full video uses 100 credits in HD (720p) or 50 in Standard (480p). That works out to $3.33–$6.99 per HD video depending on the pack. Packs start at $6.99. There is no subscription and credits never expire.

### Do I need a prompt or a CapCut template?

No. The hallway, the hops, the squish and the swap are already set up, so there is nothing to write or install. You make the video in your browser, on a phone or a computer.

### Can ChatGPT make the Hop Hop Hop video from two selfies?

No. ChatGPT can describe the trend or write a prompt, but it doesn't make this video from your photos. Here you add two photos and get a free preview in about 5 minutes.

### What if a video doesn't generate?

If a video doesn't generate (it stops with an error, not a result you don't like), its credits go back to your balance automatically. If your free preview doesn't generate, you can usually make it again.

### How is the video made?

Seedance 2.0, an AI video model, makes every frame new from your photos. The hallway, the camera and the timing follow the trend; nothing is pasted onto an existing video.

### What happens to our photos?

They are used only to make your video and are deleted automatically, with the videos, after 30 days. Only upload people who agreed to be in the video. Photos of public figures are not allowed.

### Can I use my friend's photo?

Yes, if they agreed to be in the video. Ask first, and only upload photos of people who said yes.

### Do you use our photos to train AI?

No. Photos are used only to make your video, never to train AI models, shown on the site or sold, and they're deleted with the videos after 30 days.

### Can I put my dog or cat in it?

No, not yet. Both spots are played by people, so each photo needs a human face.

### Should I label my video as AI when I post it?

Yes. Turn on TikTok's AI-generated label, or the Reels and Shorts one: the people are real, the video is made with AI.

### Do credits expire?

No. Credits never expire and there is no subscription; packs start at $6.99.

### Is this affiliated with Shluzov or TikTok?

No. Hop Hop Hop AI is an independent tool, not affiliated with Shluzov, TikTok or the people in the original videos.
