The site renders two 15-second halves, stitches them on the original cut and adds the 1995 song bed. You get a 30-second, 4:3 MP4 with no watermark. [**Make my video**](https://gangstasparadiseai.com/#create) ## **What changed** - **2026-11-09** — Launched the two-photo, 30-second 4:3 Gangsta’s Paradise AI generator. # How to make a Gangsta’s Paradise AI video Two portraits, one fixed 30-second performance, and a render that arrives already cut and scored. Published 2026-11-09 There is no timeline, no prompt box and no editing step. The performance is fixed; the only decisions are who is in the two seats and how large the file should be. That is why the flow fits on one screen, including on a phone. ## Step 1 — choose the Rapper photo The Rapper is on screen for most of the 30 seconds, including two tight close-ups. Use a sharp, front-facing portrait with the whole head in frame and even light. A waist-up photo is better than a head-and-shoulders crop because the model has to hold the face through head turns and a walk toward camera. ## Step 2 — choose a different Singer photo The Singer walks through the background in shot two, stands beside the Rapper in shot three, and takes the final chorus at about 27 seconds. Use a separate portrait of that person — not a crop of the Rapper photo, and not a group shot. The two people should be lit from roughly the same direction if you want the cut to feel continuous. ## Step 3 — pick a resolution 480p is the cheap draft at 640×480. 720p is the default at 960×720 and the one most people post. 1080p renders the same 720p master and sends it through an AI upscale to 1920×1440. The two 15-second halves render in parallel, so 1080p does not double the wait. | **Resolution** | **Output** | **Credits** | **Best for** | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | **480p** | 640×480 | 7 | Checking the casting | | **720p** | 960×720 | 14 | TikTok, Reels, Shorts | | **1080p** | 1920×1440 | 22 | Larger screens and downloads | ## Step 4 — render and let the site stitch The first half covers shots 1–3 (0–15 seconds). The second half covers shots 4–7 (15–30 seconds). Each half is a separate Wan reference call because the model accepts at most 15 seconds of reference video and a reference-plus-output total of 30 seconds. When both halves finish, the site asks the relay to trim each half to exactly 15.000 seconds, conform to 24 fps, stitch on the cut and lay the song underneath. If the upstream render fails, the job is marked failed and the credits return automatically. A timeout does the same. You can retry with the same two photos; a failed run is not charged. ## Step 5 — download, label and post Download the MP4 and the silent version. Upload the MP4 to TikTok, Reels or Shorts, then add “Gangsta’s Paradise” from the platform’s licensed music library instead of uploading the commercial recording as your own audio. Keep the AI-generated label on. Do not present the output as official or as a real performance by the people in the photos.
