How to do the Ramalama trend

Option 1: How to make the Ramalama video with AI (fastest)

1. Open the Ramalama video maker and choose Just me, Couple, My pet or Me + my pet.
2. Upload a clear front-facing photo (two photos for duos).
3. Pick a costume such as The Original, Witch, Vampire or Ghost Bride, or type your own.
4. Choose Standard 480p, HD 720p or Ultra 1080p and pay once. No signup.
5. Wait 3–8 minutes, download the MP4 and add the Ramalama sound in TikTok.

Start the AI maker → It costs from $6.99 per video and needs no costume, no camera person and no editing.

Option 2: How to film the Ramalama trend yourself

1. Get the full outfit, shoes included. The first half of the clip only shows feet and legs.
2. Find a long, clear path. A hallway, a street at dusk or a driveway with Halloween decorations works well.
3. Set the camera low. Your friend holds the phone a few centimetres off the ground, pointed slightly up.
4. Walk toward the lens with attitude while the camera backs away at the same speed.
5. Tilt up on the beat drop (around the 5-second mark) and pull back to show your whole body.
6. Hold a pose and look into the lens for the last few seconds.
7. Add the sound in TikTok or CapCut and nudge the clip so the tilt lands on the drop.

How do I use the Ramalama CapCut template?

Search "Ramalama" in CapCut templates, tap Use template, and drop in your own clips. The template handles timing and effects, but you still need to film the footage. If you only have a photo, generate the clip with AI first and use it in the template.

What are the most common Ramalama mistakes?

• Starting the tilt too early, which spoils the reveal.
• Shoes that don't match the costume. Viewers stare at them for five seconds.
• Shaky handheld footage. Brace the phone on the ground or use a gimbal.
• For AI: blurry, side-on or group photos. Use one sharp, front-facing photo per person.
