What is a year in review video?

A year in review video is a short look back at the year that ends on the countdown: a few moments of you, cut together, then the midnight cheer. People post them in late December and on New Year’s Eve, as a new year recap video or, this season, a 2026 recap video.

Our template is the one-photo version: three scenes and the midnight fireworks, already cut to the beat. You appear in every scene with your own face, hair and the clothes from your photo; the places, the cuts and the timing come with the template.

Questions

Is AI Year in Review Video 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.

How long is the year in review video?

12 seconds: the radio studio, the corridor, the rooftop party and the midnight fireworks.

Can I upload several photos from my year?

No. This template takes one photo of one adult and puts you in every scene; it is not a photo collage.

Will I keep my own clothes?

Yes. The prompt asks to keep the clothes from your photo in every scene.

Whose photo can I use?

Adults only: photos of children are not supported. Your own, or a friend’s who agreed to it. No famous people. Uploads go through an automatic safety check.

Can I post my year in review video?

Yes. It is a finished 12-second vertical video with the sound mixed in, so you can post it to TikTok as it is.

Does the video have sound?

Yes: your video comes with the clip’s sound, mixed in. If TikTok flags the sound for copyright, swap in a sound from TikTok’s sound library when you post.
