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

A No Scrubs AI video puts the three people from your photos into a late-90s trio music video look. They dance on a shiny futuristic set in loose black cargo pants, 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 the template's music.

It is the AI music video with friends behind the No Scrubs AI trend on TikTok and Instagram. You don't film, learn the dance or open an editing app.

What You Get

• The scene. A glossy late-90s set with chrome walls, a silver elevator and cool white 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. They follow the performance but won't match every word of the music.
• The spec. 15 seconds, 16:9 widescreen, with the template's music, labelled AI generated.

What the Trend Is

No Scrubs is a three-person look built on baggy cargo pants, 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. On TikTok and Instagram it also goes by the No Scrubs TikTok trend and the No Scrubs dance 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

1. Open the No Scrubs page.
2. Pick a quality: 480p, 720p or 1080p. A video costs $9.99, $19.99 or $39.99.
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 whole outfit. Tops, hair and accessories come from your photos, but the scene puts everyone in loose black cargo pants.

What You Get Back and How Long It Takes

You get a 15-second MP4 in 16:9 widescreen, labelled AI generated. It comes with the template's music.

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. A video costs $9.99 for 480p, $19.99 for 720p and $39.99 for 1080p. If we cannot make your video, we make it again or refund you in full.

Posting It for the No Scrubs TikTok Trend

1. Download the MP4 from My videos within 30 days.
2. Post it on TikTok, Instagram Reels or YouTube Shorts. The clip is 16:9, so a vertical feed shows it with space above and below.
3. Keep the template's music. The moves and mouths follow it, so a different sound will look off the beat.
4. Turn on the app's AI-generated label. TikTok, Instagram and YouTube each have a setting for AI-made content.
5. Add the trend's hashtag, such as #NoScrubsAI, and tag the two friends in it. Use only photos of people who agreed to be in the video.
