To do the money trend, upload one clear photo to AI Money Trend, pick a template and a format, and generate. You get a 10-second video of yourself hugging and fanning stacks of $100 bills, with the "all my money is cash" sound already in it. There is no prompt to write and nothing to edit. Open the generator.
Four steps from one photo
1. Pick a clear photo
Front-facing, good light, waist up. Whatever you are wearing in the photo is what you wear in the video, so choose the outfit on purpose. For the pet template, one animal with its face toward the camera.
2. Choose the template and the format
Pick one of 6 templates: a bedroom with a ceiling fan, a gold mansion, walls of cash bricks, a dark midnight room, a couple, or your pet. Choose 9:16 for TikTok, Reels and Shorts, or 1:1 and 16:9.
3. Generate and download
A Standard 720p video costs 10 credits, and the smallest pack is $6.99 for 10 credits. The render usually takes a few minutes. Download the MP4 within 24 hours.
4. Post it
Upload to TikTok, Instagram Reels or YouTube Shorts and mark it as AI-generated. The sound is already in the file.
AI Money Trend vs CapCut and other apps
People do the money trend three ways: a CapCut template link, a mix of other AI apps, or a web generator. The table compares them. This site does not teach the manual route; it costs time and several paid attempts.
| AI Money Trend | CapCut template | Other AI video apps | |
|---|---|---|---|
| What you supply | One photo | A working template link and a photo | Photo, reference clip, prompt, settings |
| Rooms to choose | 6, including couple and pet | Whatever the template shows | Whatever you describe |
| The trend sound | Already mixed in | Depends on the template | Find it, trim it, sync it |
| Risk | Face may drift; re-render if so | Link may expire, be region-locked or need Pro | Several paid attempts |
| Cost | 10 credits for Standard 720p; failed renders return credits | Varies by template and plan | Each attempt is paid, whether it works or not |
The model underneath is Seedance 2.0 / 2.5 by ByteDance. What you pay for here is the tested setup around it. The reasons copied attempts break are on the prompt page, and CapCut links are covered in the CapCut question page.
Photo tips that change the result
- Show the waist up: the camera in the video looks up from table height and needs your torso and arms.
- Take sunglasses and heavy filters off the photo; the fan of bills covers your face for a moment and the model must bring it back.
- Plain tops read best. Busy prints and big logos get redrawn when the bills pass over them.
- For a pet, use a photo where the whole animal is in focus and facing the camera.
- Only adults who agreed, or pets. No celebrities and no one under 18.
Posting it
The file is vertical 9:16 for TikTok, Reels and Shorts unless you chose a square or wide format. Do not add the trending sound on top, because it is inside the MP4 already. The money is AI-generated, so do not present the clip as real wealth. Read what the trend is if you want the background.
