How to make a Burning Bridges AI video

What is the Burning Bridges AI video trend?

The Burning Bridges AI trend replaces the lead in an indoor party performance associated with Drake’s Burning Bridges video. Warm overhead lights, a crowd, confident gestures and a metal shaker give the scene its recognizable look.

Vismuse supplies a 10-second performance reference. MiniMax H3 uses that clip to guide the scene, actions and camera while your photo defines the new lead’s face, hair and visible outfit. It is a video recreation, so small details and timing may differ from the source.

1. Pick one photo of the lead

Choose a sharp, well-lit image with one person facing the camera. Show the hair, face and upper body, including the outfit you want in the video. A group photo gives the model unnecessary ambiguity about who should become the lead.

• Good starting point: one visible face, even light and a recognizable outfit.
• Avoid: sunglasses, a hand covering the face, heavy filters or a distant subject.
• A portrait supplies appearance; it does not need to show the party pose.
• Use your own photo or an image you have permission to use.

2. Use the included party reference

Open Burning Bridges and upload the lead photo. The current original-performance reference already includes the party room, background crowd, gestures and camera movement. You do not need to upload another video or write a shot list.

This workflow replaces the lead performer. It does not provide separate photo slots for recasting every person in the crowd. Keep the original reference for your first take so you can evaluate the face and movement before changing the scene.

3. Start with the default 10-second clip

New Burning Bridges inputs default to 10 seconds. You can select 5 seconds for a shorter opening excerpt. The current reference is 10 seconds long; it is not the full music video. Landscape 16:9 follows its framing, and MiniMax H3 offers 768p or 2K output.

You need available paid credits from a subscription or credit pack and enough total credits for the selected settings. Free trial credits alone do not qualify. If you need credits, Generate opens the subscription and credit-pack options. Review the current pricing before submitting.

4. Tell the model what to preserve

The reference already defines the movement. For your first take, keep it unchanged and use a short instruction to preserve your face, hair and clothes. You do not need to describe every person or camera move.

The Burning Bridges AI prompt below is optional. Use it with your photo and the included reference clip. Copying the prompt into another tool does not transfer the reference clip or audio.

• If the original performer’s clothes appear: use a photo that clearly shows your outfit and ask to keep its color and shape.
• If your face changes during movement: try a sharper, front-facing portrait and remove requests for new gestures or camera moves.
• If the movement strays from the reference: keep the original scene, crowd and camera, and remove requests for a different dance.

5. Watch the face, hands and downloaded audio

Submit once and wait for the task’s actual completion. Watch the full clip rather than judging only the first frame. Check close-ups for likeness, hands near the face for distortions, and the lead’s clothes for details carried over from the original performer.

With reference audio enabled, Vismuse copies the matching source soundtrack into the exported MP4. It does not clone your voice, and an unchanged soundtrack does not guarantee exact mouth timing. Play the downloaded file with sound. An editor is optional if you want captions, a tighter cut or a vertical layout.

For TikTok or Reels, check the landscape 16:9 MP4 before posting. A vertical crop can cut off your hands or the crowd. To keep the full frame, place the clip on a vertical canvas in an editor. You do not need a CapCut template to generate the video.

Example: character photo → reference → generated result

Vismuse has a separate recorded five-second reference-guided test using a fictional woman in turquoise clothing and an earlier party-entrance clip. The guide linked below shows the actual character input, source reference and generated result together.

That test used an earlier reference with its original audio removed. It demonstrates the appearance-and-motion workflow; it is not evidence that the current 10-second preset will produce identical motion or audio. The video at the top of this page is the current source reference.

Why does my face, outfit or movement look wrong?

For likeness problems, replace a dark or angled portrait with a clear front view. For clothing carryover, include more of your outfit and ask to keep it. For motion drift, remove directions for a different room, camera or new dance and try the original reference again.

If the job is still pending, check its status instead of submitting duplicate requests. If it fails, read the displayed error and check the actual credit status. A completed video you want to revise is a new generation; do not assume every unwanted result receives a refund.

Is this a free template or the full Burning Bridges video?

Neither a full-length music video nor free personalized generation is included. This is a short reference-guided workflow with 5- or 10-second output. Reading the tutorial and watching the source reference is free; generating your own version requires paid credits from a subscription or credit pack.
