How the CapCut way works
- Prepare two clear photos, one per performer, with similar lighting.
- Open CapCut’s AI video generator and add both photos.
- Write the prompt: orange room, one hanging mic, who stands where, who raps first and when they switch.
- Generate, then add your audio, captions and pacing in the CapCut editor and export.
When CapCut is the better choice
- You already edit in CapCut and want captions, cuts or extra clips.
- You like writing and tweaking prompts yourself.
When Hotel Lobby AI is the better choice
- You don’t want to write a prompt or install an app.
- You want sound made with the video: the original track, your own song or a new AI rap.
- You want your cat or dog at the mic.
- You want to choose 9:16 for TikTok and Reels or 16:9, up to 15 seconds.
