A road trip with your best friend
Save two friends once, each from a few photos, and RefVid puts both in the same car: windows down on a coastal road, laughing and singing along, then pulling over to a view at sunset. Both keep their own faces in all three shots.
10 s · 16:9 · with sound
Sign in, add your subject, and the studio opens with this template filled in. Your first 3-second clip is free: this template’s first shot.
Made from these photos
What you get
- Two friends, each from 1–5 photos, in one clip
- 3 shots, 10 seconds, wide 16:9
- Road and wind sound generated with the video
- No watermark
Who it’s for
For best friends who live in different cities now, for a birthday or a farewell surprise, and for anyone whose real road trip never made it past the group chat. It also works as a travel-brand ad: two creators, one car, the coast.
The prompt
What the studio fills in for you. Your subject takes the place in brackets; you can change any of it.
- Shot 1A vintage convertible drives along a sunny coastal road; [you] at the wheel and [your friend] in the passenger seat laugh, hair blowing in the wind. Wide tracking shot.
- Shot 2Close two-shot inside the car: [your friend] sings along loudly while [you] laughs and shakes their head. Wind noise, warm light.
- Shot 3The car parked at a cliff-top viewpoint at sunset, [you] and [your friend] sitting on the bonnet seen from behind, looking at the sea.
Make it yours
Change the road
Swap "a sunny coastal road" for a desert highway, an alpine pass or a road through autumn forest; keep the convertible or write in a camper van instead.
Pick the song moment
In the second shot, describe what happens instead of singing: a shared snack, a map held upside down, or one of you asleep with sunglasses on.
End somewhere that matters
Replace the cliff-top viewpoint with the place you always talk about going: a lighthouse, a lake jetty, the beach from your first holiday together.
Photos that work best
People: 1–5 photos with the face clearly visible and evenly lit — a straight-on portrait first, then a three-quarter angle and a profile. Skip sunglasses, heavy filters and group shots; if a photo shows more than one person, the studio can’t tell who you mean.
How it works
- Sign in and add you and your friend, each from 1–5 photos. Each subject is saved once, so every later template takes one tap.
- The studio opens with this template filled in: all 3 shots, 10 seconds, 16:9. Change any word you like.
- Press Generate. The clip is ready in a few minutes, without a watermark, and the same subject is there for the next one.
Questions
- Can I make it with a friend’s or partner’s photos?
- Yes, with their agreement: the studio asks you to confirm that every adult in the photos agreed. Each person is saved once and can be in any later video.
- Can we add a third friend?
- Yes: a clip can hold up to three saved subjects. Add the third in the studio and write them into the back seat.
- How much does this template cost?
- A new RefVid account’s free credits cover one 3-second clip. The full template is 10 seconds with sound: buy it as a single video, with no plan, or use credits from a pack or plan. Current prices are on the pricing page.
- How do I make a best friend AI video of the two of us?
- Save each of you once from a few photos (with your friend’s agreement), open this template and both slots fill in. The car, road and shots are written; you only change what you want.
- Are these good best friend videos to send on a birthday?
- Yes: they are short, wide and easy to share in any messaging app. Change the ending to a place you both know and it reads as a message, not a stock clip.
