In the last few days, a new trend of videos has been winning the publications of Instagram and tick tock: the “random photo”.
Users can create dynamic montages with fun music in images that overlap automatically. The videos produced are seven seconds long.
How to get trending:
- To reproduce the trend, it is necessary to download the “CapCut” application, which automates the entire process of playing the video. The application has some paid features but also other free features such as the one that allows you to create videos in this trend.

“Flat” images without overlays and different layers will not look so cool in this trend. For example flat images of landscapes.
Also, images with a lot of overlap can make the video a bit chaotic, so it might be good to try balancing out multilayered shots with “cleaner” ones.
