How to Make an AI Zombie Video, Step by Step

This guide walks through the AI Halloween generator one control at a time. You need two photos and a few minutes. The result is a 15-second MP4: a survivor raises a gun at someone who has turned, drops it, and the zombie's leap lands as a hug in a sunny meadow.

Nothing here needs a prompt or an editing app. The default settings (Seedance 2.0 Mini, 720p, 16:9) cost 12 credits, and every price is shown on the button before you create.

Step 1: Cast your two photos

The first card is "Cast your two photos". The left slot is the survivor, labelled "Survivor · keeps the gun". The right slot is "Plays the zombie". Each slot takes one photo with one person in it. Tap a slot to choose a photo from your phone or computer.

  • Once a photo is in, a small tag stays under it: "Survivor" or "Zombie". That is how you know which role it has.
  • Put them the wrong way round? Tap the round ⇄ button between the two photos to swap them.
  • Each photo is checked when it is added. A photo that fails the content check is refused before anything is charged.

Which photos work best is covered in best photos for an AI zombie video.

Video

Render time: up to about 5 minutes. If it fails, the credits come back. See prices

Step 2: Who plays the zombie

Choose Couple when both photos are people: a partner, a friend, a sibling or a parent. Choose Pet when a dog or cat has turned. In Pet mode the left photo is you and the right photo is your pet, and the last shot becomes you hugging the animal.

Step 3: Where the standoff happens

Pick one of five worlds for the standoff: Farmhouse, Fallen City, Blizzard, Empty Mall or Night Subway. The world changes the first nine seconds (place, light, sound, where the gun lands) but not the price or the ending. Details: zombie apocalypse AI video.

Step 4: Video settings

The Video card shows the model, the quality and the frame, for example "Seedance 2.0 Mini · 720p, 15 s · 16:9 landscape". Tap Change to open it. The length is always 15 seconds for this effect.

Prices for one film run from 6 credits (Seedance 2.0 Mini, 480p) to 108 (Seedance 2.5, 1080p). The default Seedance 2.0 Mini at 720p is 12 credits; at 480p it is 6.

Step 5: Create, wait, download

  1. Press "Create my Halloween film · 12 credits". If you are not signed in, you sign in with Google first. If your balance is short, the price options appear.
  2. The credits are taken when the render starts. The provider estimates up to about 5 minutes. You can leave the page; the video keeps rendering.
  3. When it is ready it plays in the preview and is saved under My videos. Download the MP4 from there.
  4. If the render fails, the credits come back automatically.

Before you post it

  • Watch the whole film once at phone size.
  • Check the zombie close-up (around 4 to 5 s) and the last shot (12 to 15 s): those show the faces most clearly.
  • In our tests the leap sometimes came about 1.5 s late, leaving a shorter memory. That is normal for this model.
  • Ask the people in it before you post. Caption it as AI if your platform asks for that.

Uploaded photos are deleted 7 days after the render. The MP4 stays in My videos until you delete it.
