Hotel Lobby CapCut Template or AI Generator?
Choose the workflow by what you want to change. Editing arranges footage and presentation. A two-photo generator uses images to guide character replacement. A workflow with your own reference video gives you responsibility for choosing the source performance as well. These approaches can be combined, but they do not offer the same controls.
Generation and credit purchases on this site are currently coming soon. You can explore the reference and guides, or work with a completed video you already own. Check Pricing for availability before planning a new generation here.
Start from a template in an editor
An editing template can provide a sequence, transitions, text positions or places to insert media. What changes depends on that particular template and any effects it uses. Some projects work with still images; others expect video clips or include additional AI steps.
Inspect the template’s instructions and preview before selecting it. Check the number and type of inputs, the resulting duration, audio behavior and export conditions. Do not assume every CapCut template performs a face swap, changes whole characters or leaves the original bodies unchanged. Those details require checking the specific template.
This route suits a post where you already have the footage and mainly need pacing, layout or captions. Our editing guide covers those finishing decisions without depending on one editor’s interface.
Supply two photos to a character replacement preset
In this site’s workflow, the photos guide the two identities while the selected reference provides the scene, motion and soundtrack. The starting left and right roles follow the photo order. You do not upload an editing project or write a scene prompt.
Preview the reference with sound. A different face does not automatically produce a different voice, and both characters do not have to sing. Review the template explanation and character swap guide before deciding whether the performance fits your pair.
The result can vary in likeness, gestures and timing. Choose clear reference photos and inspect the entire output; a preset is not a guarantee of exact identity or lip-sync.
Choose your own source performance
Some video tools accept a reference clip and character images. Their accepted formats, controls and restrictions vary, so check the selected tool’s current documentation. You must also choose source material you have permission to use and verify what happens to its audio.
This is a different preparation task from using a built-in reference. It can require testing how the tool handles framing, character count and duration. It is not an additional control offered by this site’s current photo form.
If you already submitted a generation, confirm its status before retrying in any workflow. For a guided starting point, see how to make a Hotel Lobby AI video and all guides.
