# How to make the golden cave transition (nopowerbank trend) with AI > Put yourself or a friend in the golden cave transition from nopowerbank's TikTok, a selfie at home that cuts to a glowing gold cave, from one photo and with nothing to film. Source: https://vswp.app/guides/golden-cave-transition-ai/ · Updated 2026-10-14 To make the golden cave transition, open the [golden cave trend on vswp](/trend/golden-cave-transition-nopowerbank-tiktok-trend/), add one clear photo of your face to the girl in the clip and start. She's already found in the 12-second video, so there's nothing to film and no gold background to build: the selfie at home, the cut to the glowing cave, the camera and the music stay as in the original. You can check your face in a free preview first, and the MP4 is usually ready in minutes. ## What is the golden cave transition? It's a 12-second TikTok posted on October 14, 2026, by @nopowerbaank, the account behind the Zany Preparaty and One Desire pilot clips. A girl sings along in a selfie by a bright window at home, laughs with a hand at her mouth, runs a hand through her hair, and on the beat appears in a cave of glowing golden formations with orange and green lights, wearing a black leather jacket. People search it as the golden cave transition, the gold cave TikTok trend or the nopowerbank trend. On [vswp](/), you take her place. ## Who should step into the cave? The cut from an ordinary day to a dream scene works best with a face your friends know: - **You, before a night out.** The selfie is your getting-ready moment; the cave is how the night feels. - **The friend who lives for selfies.** Give them the music-video ending their camera roll deserves. - **A birthday girl.** Send it in the group chat on the day. - **A new look.** Just dyed your hair or got a new jacket? Turn "Keep the original look" off and the cave scene shows it. ## How do you make your own version? 1. **Ask first.** Use only photos of people who agreed: if it's a friend's face, make sure they're in on it. 2. **Open the [golden cave transition trend page](/trend/golden-cave-transition-nopowerbank-tiktok-trend/).** The girl is the one person to replace. 3. **Sign in with Telegram.** No password needed. 4. **Add the photo** to her card: JPEG, PNG or WebP. 5. **Choose the look.** With "Keep the original look" on, the black leather jacket stays and only the face and hair change. With it off, the outfit comes from your photo. 6. **Try the free preview.** Press "Make the free preview" to see a short part of the clip with your face, at 480p with a small "vswp.app" mark. 7. **Make the full video.** Check the price and press "Create the full video", at 480p or 720p. 8. **Download the MP4.** It keeps the original music. On a phone, share it straight to Telegram or your stories. New to this? The general walkthrough is in [how to put yourself in a video](/guides/put-yourself-in-a-video/). ## Which photo works best? **A sharp, front-facing face.** Both parts are close-ups facing the lens, so use a clear, well-lit photo taken from the front, with one person in it and no sunglasses, hands or hair over the face. **Your own hair shows.** With the look kept, the face and hair come from your photo while the jacket stays; long, short or curly hair all work. **Full body for your own clothes.** For your own outfit in the cave, turn "Keep the original look" off and use a full-body photo: a portrait can't show clothes it doesn't contain. More tips are in [which photos work best for an AI video swap](/guides/best-photos-for-ai-video-swap/). ## What can go wrong, and how do you fix it? - **Hands at the face.** In the home shots her hand goes to her mouth and into her hair, which is hard for generative AI. Pressing "Create video" again makes a new take, and each take comes out a little different. - **The face doesn't look like you.** Try a sharper, brighter photo where your face is large. See [what to do if the face doesn't look like you](/guides/ai-face-swap-does-not-look-like-you/). - **The black bands.** The picture sits between black bands above and below, as in the original TikTok; that's part of the clip, not a mistake. ## How much does it cost? Every new user gets one free preview: about 5 seconds of a video at 480p with a small "vswp.app" mark, but never more than half of a short clip. For this 12-second clip, that's a short part of the scene, enough to check your face. If the preview fails, the free try comes back. The full video is paid in Telegram Stars (⭐), bought in the bot @vswpapp_bot. The price depends on the length, the quality and the number of people you replace, and you see it before you start. If a render fails or you cancel it, the Stars come back automatically. Details are in [what's free on vswp](/guides/free-ai-video-face-swap/). Ready? Open the [golden cave transition trend](/trend/golden-cave-transition-nopowerbank-tiktok-trend/), add your photo and start with the preview. ## FAQ ### Who made the golden cave transition?
