Viral videos are designed to feel real. A smile, a look of surprise, a moment of confusion, these small human reactions can make people stop scrolling and pay attention.
Here's how to do it:
Open the Zeely app and tap the play icon at the bottom of the screen. Then, select Viral video.
On the Select a reference screen, browse the available videos. Choose a concept that matches the story you want your video to tell. Each concept groups references around a different creative idea, such as emotional moments, transformations, or movement.
Then, choose a video type to narrow down your search and find the kind of video you’d like to recreate. The available types depend on the concept you selected and help you find videos with a specific look, emotion, or style.
For example, if you choose In motion, you'll see types such as Dancing, Active lifestyle, and Exercise routines.
Tap the sound icon on a reference to preview its audio. When you find a reference you like, select it to use it in your video. This lets you watch the avatar and listen to the original audio.
When you find a reference you like, tap it.
Select an avatar. If you want to use the same person as in the reference, tap × in the upper-right corner to continue with that exact AI personality.
To choose a different avatar, browse the library or use the filters to specify your search by gender, age, or ethnicity.
You can also create your own character. If you choose Create avatar, you can upload a Reference image, describe the character’s distinctive features in a Prompt, or use both. Then, give your avatar a name and specify their Gender, Age, and Ethnicity.
Some settings, such as the AI model and video duration, are set for Viral videos. But you can still add your own creative touch by customizing the headline. Tap Add headline to get started.
Tap Select an asset if you want Zeely to use your product or service information when generating headline ideas. This helps the headline match your offer and catch viewers’ attention. If you don't want the headline to be connected to a specific product or service, choose No asset.You can then write your own message or tap Generate with AI to create headline ideas without product-specific information.
Select the headline position by tapping the position icon. You can place it at the top, center, or bottom of the video.
Note: You may still see the avatar from the reference template while editing your headline. That's expected. Your chosen avatar will appear in the generated video.
When you're happy with the headline, tap Save.
Review the audio from the reference video. You can preview it, but you can’t edit it at this time. If you don’t want to use the original audio, tap the speaker icon to turn it off. This lets you generate the video without sound, so you can add your own audio later when sharing it on social media.
When everything looks right, tap Generate.
Wait while Zeely generates your video. Most videos are ready in about 6 minutes. Once finished, you'll find your video in Projects under Video in the format filter at the top.
