Hotel Lobby CapCut Template: Find a visual template

Search CapCut's template library for an orange studio or two-person performance layout. Availability and supported photo slots vary by template. Preview the result and check which elements you can change.

Keep the performance yours

  1. Choose a layout using footage you own or have permission to edit.
  2. Add photos of yourself and a consenting friend.
  3. Use your own original music, and review the audio before exporting.
  4. Export a vertical video for short-form sharing.

A template is an editing layout; its availability does not establish permission to reuse an artist's recording or performance.

A two-photo alternative

AI Rap Video Generator creates a new orange-studio scene around the people in your photos, with an original AI-generated song, beat and vocals. Add a birthday, friendship or business topic to personalize the lyrics.

Step 1: one photo of each person. Ordinary selfies work, and they don’t need to be taken together.

Hotel Lobby CapCut Template: prepare your photos and budget

Before selecting a layout, decide whether you want to edit existing footage or generate a new scene from photographs. Write down the inputs you already have: two portraits, a group photograph, or a video you recorded yourself. This prevents spending time on a workflow that expects material you cannot supply. For a broader comparison, read the Hotel Lobby AI apps guide and compare the inputs with your own project.

Check each face at the size it will appear on a phone screen. A distant face in a crowded photograph gives you less detail to work with than a clear portrait. Avoid covering the eyes or mouth, and choose lighting that makes the face easy to recognize. Use a recent photo if you want the performance to resemble how the person looks today. Everyone shown should have agreed to appear in the finished clip.

If you choose our photo-based studio, budget for the settings you select rather than assuming every clip has a fixed price. A 720p video costs 5, 7, 9, 10 or 13 credits for 5, 8, 10, 12 or 15 seconds. The same lengths at 480p cost 2, 4, 4, 5 or 6 credits. The pricing page lists one-time packs starting at $6.99 for 14 credits.

Choose a short topic that belongs to your duo: a birthday greeting, an everyday habit, or a shared memory. Keep the joke friendly and leave out personal details that should stay private. Review the faces, words and overall tone before sending the finished video to anyone else. A generated performance is an imagined scene; introducing it clearly helps viewers understand what they are watching.

If a generation fails or moderation rejects it, its credits are automatically returned to the account. A successful generation uses the credits associated with its selected settings. Keep those two outcomes separate when planning a budget for several clips. You can then choose whether a short first version is enough for your idea before making a longer variation with a different topic or a different pair of photographs.
