How to Make the No Scrubs AI Video With Your Friends

Quick answer

To make the No Scrubs AI video, upload a clear photo of yourself to the No Scrubs AI Video Generator, add up to two friend photos for the left and right spots, and press Generate. ZapVid makes a 14-second horizontal video of you three doing the trio dance on the silver set, with the same moves, cuts and mouth timing as the music video. It takes 7 to 12 minutes and uses 100 credits, with or without friends.

What is the No Scrubs AI trend?

It recreates the music video for "No Scrubs", the 1999 hit by the R&B group TLC. Three performers dance on a futuristic silver set, with two solo close-ups at the start: one points at the camera and the other raises both hands.

The song had a comeback on TikTok in September 2026. From October 17, 2026, people on X started posting AI versions with their friend groups and sports teams in the three spots, and by October 19 creators on TikTok were posting tutorials under #noscrubsaitrend. The laugh comes from the casting, like three friends who can't dance moving in perfect sync.

How do I make it step by step?

1. Open the generator. Go to the No Scrubs AI Video Generator. The template is already selected.
2. Upload your photo. You take the center spot.
3. Add friends, or skip them. The first friend photo takes the left spot and the second takes the right. Any empty spot keeps our AI dancer.
4. Press Generate. We first make a group shot and the two close-ups with your faces, then the AI copies the full routine. The video is ready in 7 to 12 minutes, and you can leave the page while it renders.
5. Download and post. Save the MP4 and add the "No Scrubs" sound when you post (see below).

You don't write a prompt. The template comes with the positions, the cuts and the dance moves.

Who goes where in the video?

• Center (your photo): the main performer, with a solo shot, the second close-up with both hands raised, and the overhead shot.
• Left (first friend): the performer who points at the camera in the first close-up.
• Right (second friend): the third performer in the group shots.

What photo gives the best result?

• One person per photo, facing the camera with the whole face visible.
• Full body works best. The wide shots show everyone head to toe.
• Use your sharpest photos for you and the left friend. You both get a close-up.
• Avoid: sunglasses, heavy filters, blurry photos, and photos of anyone who did not agree to be in the video.

How do I add the No Scrubs sound?

The video downloads without music, so you add the official sound inside the app:

• TikTok: upload the video, tap Add sound, search "No Scrubs", pick the TLC track, and lower the original volume to zero.
• Instagram Reels: upload the video, tap the music icon, search "No Scrubs", and line it up with the first close-up.
