How to make a Hotel Lobby AI video
Understand the viral trend, prepare your references, and try a controlled swap using your own authorized footage. Start with a short test before spending credits on a longer video.
After signing in, choose your workspace and open Swap Editor. No original performance clip or music is included.
From reference photos to a reviewed video
1. Prepare a short source video
Use footage you own or have permission to edit. Start with one short, clear shot and keep an untouched copy. A stable camera and visible faces make it easier to inspect the result.
2. Choose clear replacement references
Use well-lit photos of yourself or consenting participants. Avoid sunglasses, heavy filters and cropped faces. For a duo, label each reference by position: person on the left and person on the right.
3. Open VideoTok’s Swap Editor
Sign in, select your workspace, then open Swap Editor. Upload your source video and add replacement references. Describe exactly which person or object each reference should replace. This is a guided upload workflow, not a preloaded Hotel Lobby template.
4. Review settings before generating
Check the displayed input requirements and credit quote. Keep your first test short. Generation time and supported inputs depend on the selected route; there is no guaranteed instant result.
5. Inspect, edit and export
Check both faces throughout the clip, especially when people turn or overlap. Inspect hands, clothing, background and audio synchronization. Download and watch the finished file before posting; use only music you are authorized to publish.
A starting prompt for a two-person swap
Replace only the person on the left with the person in reference image 1, and the person on the right with the person in reference image 2. Keep their identities distinct throughout the clip. Preserve the source framing, camera movement, timing and background. Keep clothing unchanged unless specified. Do not add text, logos or additional people.
Adapt this to the references and source you actually upload. It is a prompt example, not a tested output or a promise of perfect face matching. For an original alternative, film two consenting performers against a plain background and use that as your source.
Before you publish
Watch the full export, not just its thumbnail. Look for identities switching sides, distorted faces during turns, unexpected wardrobe changes and mismatched lip movement. If one section fails, shorten or simplify that section rather than repeatedly paying for the same full clip. Label synthetic edits where appropriate and never present an edit as a real endorsement.

Hotel Lobby AI video questions
What is the Hotel Lobby AI video trend?
The trend refers to AI edits associated with Quavo and Takeoff’s Hotel Lobby performance on A COLORS SHOW. Creators replace the on-screen subjects with new people or characters. It is different from generating a video of a hotel interior.
Does VideoTok include the original performance or song?
This guide does not supply or license the original footage or music. Bring authorized source material. VideoTok is not affiliated with or endorsed by COLORS, Quavo or Takeoff.
Can I replace two people?
The Swap Editor accepts replacement references, but a reference is not a guarantee of an exact identity match. Clearly identify left and right subjects and inspect the result. If identities blend, simplify the shot or test one replacement at a time. A reliable one-click two-person Hotel Lobby preset has not been verified for this guide.
Is it free, and how many credits does it cost?
Reading this guide is free. Generation uses credits; check the current quote in the editor before submitting. Cost depends on the selected settings. See the pricing page for current plans.
How long does generation take?
There is no verified Hotel Lobby-specific completion benchmark on this page. Queue time, clip length, generation and saving all affect the wait. Do not submit the same job repeatedly while it is still processing.
What if my upload or generation fails?
Check the editor’s file, duration and resolution requirements first. For a queued job, check its status before retrying. If it fails, keep the job identifier and contact support so the original request can be investigated without blindly duplicating it.
