How to Make the Unforgettable Car Trend AI Video

Quick answer

To make the Unforgettable car trend video with AI, upload one clear photo of yourself to the Unforgettable Car Trend AI Video Generator, add a photo of your car if you want it in the video, and press Generate. ZapVid makes a 12-second video of you swiping the 2 and 4 cards past the lens with a car appearing behind you. It takes 5 to 10 minutes and uses 100 credits, and you do not need a real car, a parking lot or any editing skills.

What is the Unforgettable car trend?

The format started with a TikTok from September 2, 2026. Someone talks to the selfie camera in an empty parking lot at night, flashes two green number cards, a 2 and a 4, and sweeps them across the lens. When the cards come down, a sports car sits in the spot that was empty a second ago. The person points back at it with a thumb and keeps talking as if nothing happened.

People named it after the sound the videos use, "Unforgettable". Because of the two cards it is also called the 24 car trend (#24cartrend), and some people search it as the UNO reverse car transition. From late September creators recreated it with real cars, and AI versions that put anyone in front of any car followed in early October 2026.

How do I make it step by step?

1. Open the generator. Go to the Unforgettable Car Trend AI Video Generator. The template is ready to go.
2. Upload your photo. One person, face fully visible, waist up works best. Your clothes carry over into the video.
3. Add your car, or skip it. Upload a photo of your own car or the car you want. Leave it empty and you get a random dream car: a supercar, a muscle car, a JDM build, a luxury SUV or a superbike.
4. Press Generate. The video is ready in 5 to 10 minutes. You can close the page and find it later under My videos.
5. Download and post. Save the MP4 and add the "Unforgettable" sound when you post (see below).

You never write a prompt. The template already has the card swipe, the timing, the car reveal and the thumb point.

What photo gives the best result?

• Your photo: one person, face clear and not covered, good light, no heavy filters. A selfie or a waist-up photo both work.
• Your car photo: the whole car in frame, ideally from the front three-quarter angle, with nobody standing in front of it.
• Avoid: group photos as your main photo, tiny or blurry images, and photos of anyone who did not agree to be in the video.

How do I add the Unforgettable sound?

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

• TikTok: upload the video, tap Add sound, search "Unforgettable", pick the version the trend uses, and lower the original volume to zero.
• Instagram Reels: upload the video, tap the music icon, search "Unforgettable", and line it up with the card swipe.

With the official sound, TikTok lists your video on the trend's sound page next to everyone else's.

FAQ

How long does the Unforgettable car trend AI video take? Most videos are ready in 5 to 10 minutes after you press Generate.

Why is it called the 24 car trend? The two cards swiped across the lens are a 2 and a 4, so on TikTok it is also tagged #24cartrend. The name Unforgettable comes from the sound the videos are posted with.

Can I use my own car? Yes. Upload a photo of your car as the second photo and it appears behind you after the card swipe. Without a car photo you get a random dream car.

Does the video come with the song? No. Videos have no sound, and we do not use the original audio. Pick the "Unforgettable" sound in TikTok or Instagram when you post.

Can I use a photo of a celebrity or someone else? Only use photos of yourself or of adults who agreed. We block photos of celebrities and public figures. Label the video as AI-generated when you post.

Is the video vertical or horizontal? It is a 12-second horizontal (16:9) video, the same framing as the original trend.
