# The BAD TIMES trend with your child

> Make the BAD TIMES trend with your child: in the car, your kid lip-syncs the song behind you while you keep a straight face, on a father-and-daughter take of the trend. One photo each, 30 s or a 15 s highlight, 9:16, no prompt, no watermark.

Upload one photo of you and one of your child. In the car, your child mouths the whole song behind you while you keep a perfectly straight face — until you both shout the last lines.

## Version and price

- You and your child: 2 photos, one person each · 30 s · 9:16 MP4 with sound. Premium (30 s) 480p 55 / 720p 120 / 1080p 205 credits; Balanced (15 s) 480p 15 / 720p 25 credits; without an account, one video from $5.99. Added 2026-10-25.

## How to make it

1. **Upload two photos** Photo 1 is you, photo 2 your child, about 5 to 12. Only your own child, as their parent or guardian.
2. **Pick a version and generate** Premium makes the whole 30-second take: 55 credits at 480p, 120 at 720p and 205 at 1080p. Balanced makes the first 15 seconds from 15 credits. Failed renders are refunded automatically.
3. **Download or share** Your video is ready in a few minutes as a vertical MP4 with the song, ready for TikTok, Reels or Shorts.

## Tips

- **Faces clearly visible** Eyes and mouth sharp and toward the camera, no sunglasses. The lip-sync needs a face it can read.
- **Parent first** Photo 1 is the parent in front, photo 2 the child behind.
- **Good light** Daylight or a bright room. Dark photos blur faces and lose the likeness.
- **Only your own child** Upload only your own child, as their parent or legal guardian. Never anyone else's child.
