The Coldplay kiss cam meme came back in October 2026 as an AI filter: two people hug on a stadium jumbotron, see themselves, and one hides their face while the other ducks. You can make it in the CapCut app or in a browser. Here's how the options differ.
The short answer
- Free, if you already use CapCut: the trend's CapCut template
- Closest to the viral reel's moves, up to 1080p, from two photos: Viral AI Video
- Crowd "ooh" in the audio, from one photo of you two: Kavel or MakeViral
- Change the setting (arena, restaurant screen): Kavel

How each one makes the video
Motion from the viral reel (Viral AI Video)
Viral AI Video follows a depth map of @capcuttingcorner's 16 October reel, the trend's most-viewed clip at over 5 million views, so the hug, the gasp, the duck and the crowd land where viewers expect them. The depth map carries only shapes and camera, and the stadium screen gets its own depth pass so the two people on it keep their moves. Your two photos supply the faces and clothes.
Text prompts (Kavel, MakeViral)
Both write the stadium, the round screen, the hug and the panic into a prompt and use your photos as the people. MakeViral sends both photos straight to Seedance 2.5 with a timed scene; Kavel uses Seedance 2.0 Mini and offers other settings — an arena face-palm, a restaurant screen, or random venues. The moves are generated each time, so every run comes out different.
The CapCut template
The trend started with a CapCut AI template, and that's still the free way to make it if you're in the app. The clips made with it keep the reel's stadium footage and put the faces from your photo on the screen, so the scene is the same every time; you need the CapCut app.
What one video really costs
- Viral AI Video: without an account, $7.99 (Balanced, 480p), $9.99 (Premium, 480p) or $11.99 (Balanced, 720p). With credits (about $0.41–0.50 each): Balanced 10 credits; Premium 25 at 480p, 50 at 720p, 85 at 1080p. Each account's first full 480p video costs 20 credits.
- Kavel: the exact credits show on its Generate button; its one-video pack is $9.99.
- MakeViral: 126 credits; its smallest one-time pack that covers it is $14.99 for 150 credits.
- CapCut template: free in the app.
Which one should you use?
- You're already in CapCut and don't need 1080p: the CapCut template.
- You want it to look like the reel everyone is posting, from two photos, or with your dog: Viral AI Video.
- You want the crowd sound baked in: Kavel or MakeViral.
- You want a different setting: Kavel.
Whatever you use: make it with someone who's in on the joke, never with photos of strangers, coworkers who didn't agree, children or public figures, and keep the AI label on when you post.
