To do the APT AI trend with a friend, open APT MV — ROSÉ & Bruno Mars AI Trend on vswp, add your photo to one performer and your friend's to the other, and start. The 26-second clip is a fan-made AI remake of the pink room from ROSÉ and Bruno Mars' "APT." music video, the scene of the APT TikTok trend, with both performers already found: the cuts, the dance moves and the song all stay, and nothing needs filming. You can try a free preview first.
What is the APT AI trend?
In fall 2026, AI remakes that put two people from two photos into the pink studio of "APT.", as the drummer and the singer, spread on TikTok and Reels. It's also searched as the APT trend dance. Looking for an "APT AI cover"? On vswp nothing is re-sung: the song plays as it is, and only the people change.
Where does "APT." come from?
"APT." is a song by ROSÉ of BLACKPINK and Bruno Mars, released on October 18, 2024, as the lead single of her debut album "rosie". The title comes from the Korean drinking game "apateu" (아파트, "apartment"), whose chant is the hook.
The video, out the same day and co-directed by Bruno Mars and Daniel Ramos, is a garage-band performance in a pink room, the two switching between drums and vocals; it passed 1 billion YouTube views on January 31, 2025. The song peaked at No. 3 on the Billboard Hot 100, spent 12 weeks at No. 1 on the Billboard Global 200 and was IFPI's best-selling global single of 2025.
What happens in the vswp clip?
The clip runs about 26 seconds, horizontal (16:9) at 24 fps, with a dozen fast cuts like the music video. It's a bright pink room with amplifiers, seen through a fish-eye style wide lens. The two dance side by side, sit on the floor holding hands with a red plastic cup between them and wear pink star-shaped sunglasses; one shot is a close-up of lips.
- The performer in front: a man in a dark T-shirt, jeans and blue-and-white sneakers. He sings into a mic on his knees right under the camera, dances by the amps and pushes his palm at the lens.
- The drummer: a man with glasses in a gray jacket over a white T-shirt, at a red drum kit, Bruno Mars' spot in the official video.
Who should play which role?
- You and a friend. The camera lover in front, the one with rhythm on the drums.
- A couple. "APT." is a duet, and either of you can take either seat; see the couple video guide.
- Swap who drums. Make a second version with the photos switched; it's a new render.

How do you make it on vswp?
- Open the trend. Go to the APT trend page and sign in with Telegram, no password needed.
- Add the photos. Both performers are already found: put a JPEG, PNG or WebP on one card or both.
- Choose the look (see below).
- Make the free preview: about 5 seconds at 480p with a small "vswp.app" mark, one per new user.
- Create the full video at 480p or 720p. Its price in Telegram Stars depends on length, quality and the number of people and is shown first; the Stars come back if a render fails or you cancel it.
- Download the MP4 with the original sound, or share it to Telegram.
The clip's outfits or your own clothes?
The "Keep the original look" switch decides, and it's off by default.
- Off (the default): each photo gives that person's clothes and hair, and a full-body photo of one person carries them best.
- On: the dark T-shirt, jeans and gray jacket stay, and only faces and hair change; a clear portrait is enough.
Which photos work best for this clip?
This clip is forgiving: the fast cuts, the close-up of lips, the star sunglasses and the palm at the lens each hide the face for a moment. What helps most:
- A clear, front-facing photo in good light for each role.
- No sunglasses. The clip brings its own.
- Two clearly different photos, one person in each, never both of you in one picture.
Fingers at the lens and fast drumming are hard for generative AI; if a shot looks off, make another take (a new render). More tips: the best photos for an AI video swap.
Where does the horizontal video fit?
The result keeps the clip's shape: a horizontal MP4 at 480p or 720p with the original sound. It fits YouTube and other horizontal posts as is, or a TV at a party; on TikTok or Reels it stays wide, since vswp doesn't crop it. Posting tips: AI video on TikTok, Reels and Shorts.
A note on consent and labels
Use photos only of people who agreed: by starting a video, you confirm you have the right to use the video and the photos. When you post, label it as AI-made and as a fan-made remake, not the official "APT." video. Rules differ by country; in the EU, the AI Act's disclosure rule for deepfakes applies from August 2026. This is not legal advice.
