How to Make a No Scrubs AI Video With Your Friends (2026)

How to make a No Scrubs AI video from three photos: a 15-second 16:9 widescreen clip of a late-90s trio music video look, with no sound. Steps and common mistakes.

A No Scrubs AI video puts the three people from your photos into a late-90s trio music video look. They stand on a shiny futuristic set in matching silver and black outfits, with the one in the center leading and the other two singing and moving along. You upload three photos and get a new 15-second widescreen clip with no sound.

What You Get

  • The scene. A glossy late-90s set with chrome walls and cool blue light.
  • The action. A center-led trio: one person leads while the left and right performers sing and move along.
  • The cast. Photo one plays the center, photo two plays the left and photo three plays the right.
  • The mouths. Lips move naturally but do not match any words.
  • The spec. 15 seconds, 16:9 widescreen, with no sound, labelled AI generated.

What the Trend Is

No Scrubs is a three-person look built on matching outfits, a shiny set and a clear center. People copy it as a trio on short-video apps because it is easy to recognise and fun to do with two friends. The name is borrowed from the song linked to the bit, and we use it only as the name of the trend.

We make no claim about where the trend started. Our version is new. It is not your own footage with an effect on top, and it is not another person's video with a face pasted in.

What to Prepare

Three photos, one for each performer. All three are required.

  • One adult per photo, alone and facing the camera, with the whole face visible.
  • Even light. Three photos taken in similar light sit better side by side.
  • A sharp, front-facing face. The scene has close shots on the performers.
  • No sunglasses, masks or heavy filters.
  • A JPG, PNG or WebP file under 20 MB.
  • Only you or people who agreed to appear.

Decide who leads before you upload. The center photo goes first, and that person gets the most screen time. For the full list, read How to Pick Photos.

Steps

This template is not open for orders yet. Its page is live, and the steps below are how ordering works on the templates that are open, such as Hotel Lobby.

  1. Open the No Scrubs page.
  2. Pick a quality: 480p, 720p or 1080p. The page shows a planned price of $4.99, $9.99 or $26.99, which can change before orders open.
  3. Upload the center photo first, then the left, then the right. We check them first. If one does not pass, nothing is charged.
  4. Pay once. There is no subscription.
  5. Wait a few minutes. The finished clip waits under My videos.

You do not write a prompt.

Common Mistakes

  • Sending only one or two photos. The scene has three performers and needs all three.
  • Putting the photos in the wrong order. The first photo is the center. If your friend is meant to lead, upload their photo first.
  • Using a soft or turned-away face. Close-ups show every flaw. Use a sharp, front-facing photo.
  • Mixing very different lighting. The three faces can look mismatched. Pick photos taken in similar light.
  • Using a group photo. The model cannot tell who to animate. Crop to one adult per photo.
  • Using a celebrity or a minor. Photos of public figures and anyone under 18 are not allowed. Use yourself or friends who agreed.
  • Expecting your own outfits. The scene dresses everyone in matching silver and black.

What You Get Back and How Long It Takes

You get a 15-second MP4 in 16:9 widescreen, labelled AI generated. It has no music and no voice.

Rendering takes a few minutes. Finished videos are kept for 30 days after delivery, so download yours in that time. Unpaid photos are deleted within 24 hours. The page shows a planned price of $4.99 for 480p, $9.99 for 720p and $26.99 for 1080p, which is not final until orders open. If we cannot make your video, you get a full refund.
