Open · Step 1

Open the Card Declined Trend template

Go to aicut.pro and open the Card Declined Trend template. The page already holds the original performance, shows how many views it has on TikTok and plays an example, so there is nothing to film and no moves to learn.

Character · Step 2

Pick a character or use your photo

Click the Customer slot. Presets has 13 characters, including a pink tracksuit bodybuilder, a grandpa crooner, a Boston terrier and a French bulldog. Describe a new character under Generate, add a photo under Uploads, or reuse one you made earlier under Generations.

  • A clear, front-facing, full-body photo works best.
  • Only use photos of people who agreed to be in the video.

Scene · Step 3

Pick the scene

Choose where it happens: Original streetwear store, Luxury boutique, Gas station, Fast food counter or Supermarket checkout. Pick Custom to describe any place in one line, such as a car dealership desk. The moves and the timing stay the same in every scene.

Tip: The fancier the shop, the funnier the decline: try Luxury boutique with a dog as the customer.

Generate · Step 4

Hit Generate video

Click Generate video: the button shows the price before you click. You get a vertical 9:16 video of 14 seconds in which your character stands at the till while the card keeps getting declined, every glance and gesture of the "chat gtt lookin" skit.
