Which photos work best
A clear, close face
The end is a close-up, so a sharp, front-facing selfie or a chest-up photo keeps it you.
Good light
Even daylight or a bright room: no hats, no sunglasses, nothing over the eyes.
Any outfit
You will wear the black blazer and open white shirt of the trend, whatever you wear in the photo.
What is the Damon Salvatore AI trend?
Damon Salvatore is a character of The Vampire Diaries, the TV series based on L. J. Smith’s novels, known for his entrances and his smirk. The trend is a smooth transition to Damon Salvatore: a clip where people “become” him for one entrance and post it with the trend’s sound.
Our Damon Salvatore AI template follows that entrance shot for shot: the guests in the pews turning to look, you walking in through the bright doorway, the hand to the collar and the slow close-up smirk. Your face and hair come from your photo; the outfit becomes the black blazer over an open white shirt, as in the trend.
You do not need a church, a blazer or a camera crew: one clear photo is enough, and the close-ups keep your own face, eyes and beard or no beard.

Questions
Is Damon Salvatore AI free?
No. A template video uses 750 credits at 480p (1,500 in HD), about $10 with a credit pack. Starter and Pro plans pay half (375) and Unlimited pays 30%: 225 credits a video, about $2.25. The 100 free credits you get when you sign up are not enough for one video.
Whose photo can I use for the Damon Salvatore AI trend?
Adults only: don't upload photos of children. Your own photo, or one of a friend who agreed to be in the video. No photos of famous people, the show's actors included. Uploads go through an automatic safety check before anything is made.
Does the video have sound?
Yes: your video comes with the trend’s sound, so you can post it to TikTok as it is. If TikTok flags the sound for copyright, swap in the same song from TikTok’s sound library when you post.
What is the Damon Salvatore trend?
A smooth transition to Damon Salvatore, the character of The Vampire Diaries: people turn themselves into him for one entrance, the walk in, the collar and the smirk.
Will my outfit change?
Yes. The trend is part of the look, so you wear a black blazer over an open white shirt. Your face, hair and skin tone stay as in your photo.
Can two people be in it?
No. It is one entrance, one person, as in the trend; the guests in the church are part of the template.
Will it look like the actor?
No. It keeps your own face from your photo, also in the close-ups. The template copies the entrance, not anyone’s looks.
How long does it take?
About five minutes, sometimes longer. You can close the page: the video waits for you in My creations.
