Your Around the Corner video is back. This guide is for checking it, not making it: what to look at in each shot of the 12-second clip, which photo choice can sit behind a flaw, and the one change to try next. Three people in two cuts and a pan give the template several chances to mix faces up, so most of the checks are about keeping each face in its own role. How to make it in the first place is in the how-to guide.
Make another take
Try different photos or swap who plays the fighter and make the 12-second Around the Corner reveal again.
Watch it twice first
Watch once looking only at faces: who is who in each shot, and whether anyone's face turns up on the wrong body. Then watch once looking only at hands: the friends' grip, the mug and the gloves. Looking for one thing at a time catches more.
The fighter at about 8 seconds in the reference AI reel by @vexm0vez, not an Oakgen output. Your fighter should stand in about the same place.
Shot by shot
| Time (about) | What happens | What to check |
|---|---|---|
| 0 to 1.8 s | Wide alley: the calm one leans on the left, two friends hold back the hothead on the right | Two different faces for the calm one and the hothead. The two friends keep their own faces, not yours. |
| 1.8 to 3.6 s | Close-up: the hothead shouts and points between the friends | Clearest look at the hothead. Same face as in the wide shot. Friends' hands stay on the arms. |
| 3.6 to 6.2 s | The calm one leans at the wall corner, sipping from a green mug | Face holds while the mug is at the mouth. One mug, one hand on it. Outfit matches the photo. |
| 6.2 to 7 s | The camera pans around the corner; the calm one leaves on the left, the fighter appears behind | No face jumps from the calm one to the fighter during the pan. |
| 7 to 11.7 s | The fighter walks up, bounces, puffs the cheeks and shrugs | Both black gloves on, five fingers each. The fighter's face, not the calm one's. No punch thrown. |
Common flaws and the one change to try
These are the problems we would expect from the way the template works. We have not measured how often each one happens.
Two roles share a face. The template had trouble telling two photos apart. Swap in a photo of someone who looks clearly different, with different hair if possible, and re-run.
A friend takes one of your faces. The two friends should stay as they are. Re-run first; if it repeats, use a tighter photo of the hothead with nobody else at the edges.
The calm one's face drifts behind the mug. The mug covers the mouth for most of the shot. Use a photo with the whole face clear and unobstructed, not one with a hand or drink near the mouth.
The fighter looks unfinished below the waist. A waist-up photo leaves the template guessing the legs and shoes. Use a full-body photo for the fighter.
A glove disappears or a hand looks wrong. Fast hand gestures are the hardest part. Re-run first; if it repeats, try a fighter photo where the hands are visible and away from the face.
Text or a logo appears. The reference has no badge and the template asks for none. If text appears, re-run; it is not part of the scene.
Before you post
Say that the video is AI-made, credit @vexm0vez or @ausar.ai for the original reel, and use photos only of people who agreed to appear. The clip is already portrait; posting it on TikTok and Reels covers where on-screen text can sit without hiding the fighter. To check the timings against the reference, see the template breakdown.

Frequently asked questions
How do I know my Around the Corner video is ready to post?
Check four stretches: the wide struggle to about 1.8 seconds, the hothead close-up to about 3.6 seconds, the calm one and the pan to about 7 seconds, and the fighter to the end. If each face stays in its own role, the two friends keep their own faces, the mug stays one mug and the fighter keeps both gloves on, it is ready.
Why do the two friends look the same in every video?
That is intended. The two men holding the hothead back are part of the scene, so they stay unchanged. Only the hothead, the calm one and the fighter come from your photos.
Can I regenerate just the reveal?
No. The template makes the whole 12-second clip in one pass, so any fix is a new run of the full video at the quote the studio shows. Change one thing at a time.
Is the preview video made by Oakgen?
No. It is an AI reel by @vexm0vez, made with @ausar.ai's template, shown as the reference. We have not published an Oakgen result for this template, so compare your video with the reference rather than assuming they will match.
