How to Create a Rosé & Bruno Mars APT. AI Trend Video

Looking to star in your own version of the viral Rosé & Bruno Mars "APT." music video? This AI video trend lets you and a friend step directly into the iconic pink studio, replacing the original performers while perfectly matching their movements, rhythm, and interactions.

The Instagram Reel inspiring this tutorial showcases the core trend. The real fun lies in recasting the duo: you and your best friend, your partner, or even original characters can take center stage.

You can create this in one of two ways: manually uploading your assets to a foundational model like Seedance 2.5 or MiniMax H3, or using our streamlined Rosé & Bruno Mars APT. AI Trend Video Generator.

What you need

You only need two clear photos and one short reference video.

• The Photos: Each photo should feature one person with their face, hairstyle, and intended outfit clearly visible. Avoid sunglasses, heavy filters, or obstructed faces. A half-body shot showing the torso and arms gives the AI much better data for clothing and body proportions than a tight selfie.
• The Video: Choose a reference clip containing the specific performance you want to recreate. Trim it strictly to the segment you want to generate, ensuring both performers and their actions remain visible.

Think of it this way: the photos tell the AI who appears, while the video dictates what they do and how it is filmed. Your prompt bridges the two.

Method 1: Use Seedance 2.5 or MiniMax H3

Open your preferred video generator and select either Seedance 2.5 or MiniMax H3, ensuring you are in a mode that accepts both image and video references. Both model families excel at reference-based video creation.

Upload your first person as Image 1 and the second person as Image 2, followed by your performance clip as Video 1.

Crucial tip: Decide who plays which role before writing your prompt. In our template's pink studio reference, Image 1 replaces the drummer, and Image 2 replaces the performer wearing boxing gloves. Assigning specific physical roles is far more reliable for the AI than simply saying "left person" and "right person," as performers naturally swap positions during a routine.

Copy the motion-transfer prompt

This prompt is engineered to lock in your uploaded identities while strictly following the video's movement and scene direction. Copy and paste the following:

Have the people in image_1 and image_2 precisely replicate the movements of the two people in video_1, matching the timing and rhythm of every action.
1. Character replacement:
   Replace the person on the left with the person from image_1, and the person on the right with the person from image_2. Match their clothing and hairstyles to the reference images; do not retain the original video characters’ outfits.
2. Visual requirements:
   Movements must be fluid, with firm, grounded landings. Maintain consistent lighting, and follow video_1 for camera work, composition, the pink background, and musical instrument props, microphone.
3. Restrictions:
   Keep each character’s identity consistent throughout. Do not introduce any additional people.

(Note: If your generator uses specific syntax like @image1 or @video1, update the tags accordingly.)

Generate and review your video

Select an output duration that matches your reference segment, then choose your aspect ratio and resolution. (Typing these specs into the text prompt will not override the platform's UI settings). Review your credit cost and hit generate.

When reviewing your final video, watch for identity swaps after camera cuts, distorted hands, or drifting faces. If roles mix up, make the performer assignments in your prompt more explicit. If a face warps, try uploading a clearer, higher-resolution photo.

Method 2: Use our APT. AI video generator

If you want to skip the prompt engineering and asset gathering, our Rosé & Bruno Mars APT. AI Trend Video Generator bundles the reference clip, optimized motion-transfer prompt, and MiniMax H3 settings into a single, ready-to-use template.

1. Launch the template: Open the generator link above.
2. Swap the images: Replace the two placeholder photos with your own (upload the drummer first, then the boxer).
3. Review: The optimized reference video and prompt are already loaded for you. You can tweak the clothing instructions if desired.
4. Generate: Start with the recommended 15-second, 768p preset. Check your credit cost and click generate.
5. Download: Preview your custom music video and download the final file.

Add the APT. music

Following a visual performance reference does not automatically embed the original "APT." copyrighted audio or guarantee perfect lip-syncing. Always preview your generated clip's audio. To get the full effect, mute the AI-generated sound and pair your video with the official track using your preferred video editor or social media platform's music library.

Create your own APT. duo

Grab two high-quality photos, map out your roles, and let the reference video do the heavy lifting for the choreography. For the quickest results, open the APT. AI Trend Video Generator now and drop in your photos to get started.
