How to Make a 58th Floor AI Video (Step-by-Step Guide)
How to make the 58th Floor AI trend video with a friend: which photos to use, how the duo rap scene is built, and how to post it with the sound.

The 58th Floor AI trend turns you and a friend into a rap duo performing in a minimalist teal studio with a single hanging microphone between you. This guide shows how to make your own 58th Floor AI video in a few minutes — no prompts, no editing app.
What the 58th Floor AI video looks like
Every video follows the same short structure so it reads instantly on TikTok, Reels and Shorts:
- Wide duo shot — both of you stand side by side in a solid teal studio, a silver mic hanging in the middle.
- Trading bars — Person 1 (left) takes the opening lines while Person 2 reacts and moves with the beat.
- Close-up — the camera cuts to Person 2 (right) leaning into the mic for the verse.
- Final duo shot — both of you back in frame for the ending pose.
The output is a vertical 9:16 MP4, about 15 seconds, at 720p.
Step 1 — Pick two good photos
You need one photo per person. The AI keeps each face consistent across every shot, so photo quality matters more than anything else:
- A clear, front-facing photo with the whole face visible.
- Only one person in each photo.
- Even lighting — no harsh shadows, no sunglasses, no heavy filters.

Step 2 — Upload Person 1 and Person 2
On the 58th Floor AI generator, upload the first photo to Person 1 (left · hook) and the second to Person 2 (right · verse). The upload order decides who stands where and who raps first, so swap them if you want to change roles.
Step 3 — Generate your video
Click Create My 58th Floor Video. Generation usually takes a few minutes. You can leave the page — your video appears in My Videos when it is ready. If a generation fails, the credits are returned to your balance automatically.
Step 4 — Download and post
Download your 9:16 MP4 from My Videos. It already comes with the original 58th Floor sound, so it is ready to post as is on TikTok, Instagram Reels or YouTube Shorts — just upload it like any other clip.
Tip: on TikTok you can also tap Add sound and pick the trend's 58th Floor sound so your post shows up on its sound page. This is optional.
Tips for a better result
- Similar framing: two photos taken at a similar distance (head and shoulders) blend best.
- Try a swap: switching left and right often changes the energy of the whole clip.
- Couples and best friends work great — the format is built around back-and-forth reactions.
Is this the official 58th Floor video?
No. 58thfloor.app is an independent AI tool inspired by a viral music trend. It recreates the style of a duo studio performance with your own photos. It is not affiliated with or endorsed by COLORS, the artists, their labels or any studio, and it does not use the original performance footage.
