A man points while a woman hops, then they swap
A fictional man in a navy sweatshirt stands close to the lens pointing behind him while a fictional woman in a mustard hoodie hops and squats at the back of a bright living room; at about 4 seconds the video cuts and they swap places. The input photos are AI-generated and the clip is 8 seconds in 9:16.

The trend, explained
What is the Hop Hop Hop dance trend?
Hop Hop Hop is a two-person routine filmed from a fixed phone camera. One person stands right against the lens and points over their shoulder; the other, far behind, hops to the beat, shakes out their arms and drops into a quick squat. About four seconds in, a hard cut on the beat swaps their places and they do it again, ending on the squat. Most posts are twins or friends, and the AI versions swap in characters or other people.
The sound the posts use is the original sound “suara asli - Venadeaakira”, which the TikTok account @venadeaakira first used on 24 September 2026. The wave took off on 19 October 2026 with a live-action twin version by @gabilagaba at about 3.7 million views, followed by remakes at 2.6 and 1.4 million. On 25 October @pouzato7 posted an AI version, labelled as AI-generated by TikTok, which reached about 2.6 million views and is the clip we follow. Posts about the trend often point to a CapCut template. Counts were read on 31 October 2026 and not audited.
MimicZip makes your own version from two photos, in 8 seconds. The room, the hops and the hard cut are generated new, and the reference we use is blurred and only guides the camera and the timing. The sound of the original posts is not in the video, so add it in TikTok. This is an internet trend, and MimicZip has no link to the accounts that posted it.

What happens in a Hop Hop Hop video
A 8-second video is one fixed camera and one hard cut. Timings are approximate, and the 5-second preview runs the same beats faster.
01 · 0–2s
Point over the shoulder
The pointer is right against the lens on the right of the frame, grinning, one arm swung back towards the jumper standing far away on the left.
02 · 2–4.2s
Hop, shake, squat
Far behind, the jumper hops on the beat, shakes out both arms and drops into a quick low squat, then springs back up.
03 · 4.2s
The cut
A hard cut lands on the beat and the two have swapped places in the frame.
04 · 4.2–8s
Swap and repeat
Now the jumper is close and pointing, while the pointer hops, shakes out their arms and squats far back. The clip ends on the low squat.
Your photos decide who is who. The camera, the swap and the order of the beats are fixed, and every result comes out a little different.
How to add the original sound in TikTok
Open the clip marked above, tap Use this sound, upload your video and keep the sound at 0s.Show the full how-to
Our videos come with an AI-made original soundtrack. To use the trending sound instead, add it inside TikTok when you post: that also puts your video on the sound's page, where people following the trend look. You can also download a silent version from My videos and put the original sound on that.
- Open this clip in TikTok: our video follows it. Tap the sound name at the bottom, then tap Use this sound.
- Tap Upload and pick the video you downloaded from us.
- Open Volume and turn the video's own sound down to 0, or download the silent version from My videos.
- To line up the beat, use the scissors (trim) to start the sound from 0 seconds, then post.

How to make a Hop Hop Hop video in 3 steps
No filming, no prompts and no editing app.
Add two photos
Upload one clear photo of each person or pet, full-body if you can. Use the same photo twice for a twin. JPG, PNG or WebP, up to 10 MB.
Pick the room
Pick 9:16 or 16:9, then the place, the outfits and the light, or keep the defaults. Tick the photo-consent box and log in. Every pack includes bonus 5-second previews.
Make the full video
Spend 1 credit on a 8-second 720p video. Download it, then add the Hop Hop Hop sound in TikTok.
Which photos work?
Two photos are required: the pointer and the jumper. Each shows one adult or one pet, face toward the camera with the eyes open. A full-body photo works best, because both of them are seen hopping and squatting. For a twin, use the same photo for both.
Works well
- A clear, well-lit photo of one adult or one pet per box
- Face toward the camera, eyes open, whole body in view if possible
- JPG, PNG or WebP, up to 10 MB
- Between 300 and 6000 pixels on each side
Avoid
- Babies, children or anyone under 18
- Two or more people in one photo, sunglasses, masks or heavy filters
- Toys and drawings: the template takes adults and real pets
- Celebrities, anyone who has not agreed, or a screenshot of someone else's clip
Limits: width-to-height ratio between 0.4 and 2.5. Upload only subjects you own or have permission to use.

Hop Hop Hop Dance AI: frequently asked questions
What is the Hop Hop Hop dance trend?
A two-person routine on a fixed camera: one person points behind them at the lens while the other hops and squats far away, then a cut on the beat swaps them. The explainer guide has the timeline.
How do I make the Hop Hop Hop video with my photos?
Upload one photo for the pointer and one for the jumper, pick the place, outfits and light or keep the defaults, check them with a 5-second bonus preview, then make the full 8-second 720p video for 1 credit. There is no prompt to write. The how-to guide covers each step.
Can I try it for free?
Not at the moment. MimicZip has no free tier or free preview; one full 8-second 720p video costs 1 credit, and packs start at $8.99. Every pack includes bonus watch-only previews so you can check your photos before spending a credit. There is no subscription, and the full video has no watermark.
Can I do it alone, as a twin?
Yes. Add the same photo to both boxes and you get two identical copies of you, like twins: one points while the other hops, then you swap. The original post that started the wave was a twin routine.
Which sound does the Hop Hop Hop trend use?
The posts use the original sound “suara asli - Venadeaakira”. We do not include it, and our own AI music is only a placeholder beat. The sound guide says how to add the sound in TikTok and where to land the cut.
Is the sound in my video?
Our video comes with new AI-made music with a steady beat, never the original recording, and we aim for no voices. You add the sound you like inside TikTok, where it is licensed. A silent download is available.
Is this connected to CapCut or the accounts that posted it?
Posts about the trend often point to a CapCut template, and the sound belongs to @venadeaakira. MimicZip is an independent template tool: your video is generated from your own photos and is not made, endorsed or licensed by CapCut, TikTok, Venadeaakira or the accounts that posted the trend.
Can I use my pets?
Yes. A pet stands on its hind legs like a person and points with a front paw, and you can mix a pet with a person. The example here uses two adults; pets follow the same script but were not tested on this page.
More questions (5)
Does the video have a watermark?
The full 8-second 720p video has no watermark. Only a preview carries a PREVIEW badge, and the preview cannot be downloaded.
Can I change the place, the outfits or the light?
Yes. Places: living room (the default), school-style hallway, parking lot, beach or gym. Outfits: your own, matching tracksuits, pyjamas, formal, preppy blazers or sportswear. Light: daylight (the default), night, neon, golden hour or camera flash. The camera and the cut stay the same.
Is there a CapCut template for Hop Hop Hop?
Yes, tutorials for a CapCut hop hop hop AI dance template appeared on 29 October. A template works inside its own app, while MimicZip needs your photos on the web and gives a finished 8-second video with bonus previews in every pack. The comparison explains when each one fits.
What if a video fails, and how long are my photos kept?
A failed generation returns its credit automatically, and unused packs can be refunded within 7 days; see the refund policy. Photos are stored privately and deleted automatically 14 days after upload.
Were the Hop Hop Hop examples really made on MimicZip?
Yes, the example went through the MimicZip generator, starting from the two input photos you see on the card. Those starting photos are AI-made and do not show real people. We never use another creator's video as an example. Yours will follow your photos, so expect different details.
