Learn how to jump in the AI Hugging Video Trend, using two individual images and Luma AI Dream Machine.
TikTok is always buzzing with new trends, and the latest one is as touching as it is slightly surreal. Enter the AI Hugging Video Trend, a phenomenon that’s warming hearts across the platform. Picture this: you can take two separate photos—maybe of a mom and her military son, or a woman and her late father—and seamlessly bring them together in a digital hug. It’s an incredible way to close the gap, whether it’s across miles or between life and death, making it all feel incredibly personal.

This trend is taking TikTok by storm, with AI-generated videos of hugs quickly going viral. These videos range from emotional reunions between mothers and their sons serving overseas to daughters embracing their late fathers, and they’re resonating with people all over the world. The best part? You can easily create one of these heartwarming videos yourself!
Here’s how to get started on your own AI hugging video
Step 1: Create the Foundation with CapCut
Start with the CapCut app, which is perfect for overlaying two images. Choose the photos you want to combine, adjust them until they look just right, and then take a screenshot. This will be the foundation of your creation.
Step 2: Bring Your Vision to Life with Luma AI
Next, it’s time to work some AI magic. Head over to the Luma AI Dream Machine, where you’ll begin a new creation. This is where the transformation really begins.
Step 3: Upload Your Image
Add your saved screenshot from CapCut into the Luma AI Dream Machine. Make sure this image captures the essence of the moment you’re trying to create.
Step 4: Work the Magic – Make Them Hug
In the text prompt box, type in “make them hug.” The AI will take it from there, transforming your still image into a warm, loving embrace.
Step 5: Save and Share Your Creation
Once you’ve got a version you’re happy with (it might take a few tries, so be patient), download your video. Share it on TikTok or keep it as a special memory.
And just like that, you’ve created a digital hug that’s bound to bring joy—and maybe even a few tears—to anyone who watches it. Whether you’re crafting a heartfelt tribute or simply joining the latest TikTok trend, the AI Hugging Video is an easy way to make a meaningful impact.
So why not try it out? After all, who wouldn’t want to send a virtual hug to someone they care about?
