Video trend
The Around the Corner video comes out in portrait 9:16, so it fits TikTok, Instagram Reels and YouTube Shorts without cropping. What it does not come with is text. This page covers where a caption can sit without hiding the reveal, what to write, and how to label and credit it.
The output is about 12 seconds in 9:16 portrait, the same shape as the reference. Upload the MP4 as it is. Do not trim the start: the first two seconds set up the struggle, and the reveal only works if viewers see the hothead before the fighter.
The fighter's face sits in the upper half of the frame at the end, and the bottom of the frame holds legs and weeds. If you add text in the app, put it in the lower third so it does not cover the fighter's face, and keep it off the first shot so the struggle stays readable.
Frame it from the hothead's point of view and let the fighter be the surprise: "Me starting drama knowing my best friend is around the corner", "Brother vs whoever touched his food". Naming the roles in the caption helps your friends recognise themselves.
Say the video is AI-made. Credit @vexm0vez or @ausar.ai for the original reel. Only post versions with people who agreed to appear, and do not tag a real actor or TV show as if they were in it.
Your video keeps the reference's instrumental track. We have not identified it, and Oakgen does not license it for your account; a platform may mute or replace audio it recognises. If that happens, pick a sound from the app's library and keep the cut timing.
The format rewards a series: swap who plays the fighter each time and post them as parts. Each version is a new run with new photos at the quote the studio shows.
Add a photo for the hothead and calm one and fighter.
Upload a clear photo for the hothead, the calm one and the fighter, each of someone who agreed to appear. Full-body photos help the fighter, who walks up from a distance; waist-up photos suit the other two.
Choose 480p, 720p or 1080p and review the quote. It includes the full video, all three photo preparations and four scene references.
Watch that nobody swaps faces between the shots, the friends keep hold of the hothead and the fighter keeps both gloves on, then download your portrait MP4 with the original music.
The hothead is held back shouting; the calm one leans on the wall sipping from a mug; the fighter walks out from around the corner. Each takes the face, hair and outfit from their own photo.
The 12-second portrait clip keeps all three shots: the struggle in the alley, the close-up of the hothead, and the slow pan past the calm one around the wall to the fighter, with the original music.
The fighter wears black fingerless fight gloves over their own outfit, squares up, bounces and puffs out their cheeks. Nobody throws a punch and nobody gets hurt.
The preview is an AI reel by @vexm0vez, made with @ausar.ai's template and shown for motion and timing. It is not an Oakgen result, and its people are never reused: all three roles come from your photos.
It is a short AI clip in a back alley: two friends hold back a hothead who shouts and points, a calm friend leans on the wall sipping from a mug, and the camera pans around the corner of the wall to reveal the real fighter in black fight gloves, who squares up and puffs out their cheeks. The joke is that the one doing the shouting is not the one to worry about.
That is the name the trend goes by on Instagram. The AI template app @ausar.ai and the creators who used it caption their versions "Around The Corner" trend, after the reveal at the end, and tag them #aroundthecorner.
The preview is an Instagram reel posted by @vexm0vez on 22 September 2026, made with @ausar.ai's "around the corner" template. @ausar.ai posted many versions the same week, each casting characters from a different TV show. The people in them are AI likenesses of real actors; Oakgen's template never keeps them, so all three photos are required.
Yes. The hothead, the calm one and the fighter each need a photo, so none of the reference people appear in your video. The two friends holding the hothead stay as they are.
The hothead is the one being held back by two friends, shouting and pointing. The calm one leans on the blue wall with arms folded, sipping from a green mug. The fighter is the one who walks out from around the corner at the end, wearing black fight gloves.
No. The hothead never breaks free and the fighter only squares up, bounces and gestures. The template asks for no hits, injuries or blood.
No. The soundtrack is instrumental music; our machine transcript found no words. Nobody on screen talks, so nobody lip-syncs in your video. We have not identified the track.
Use photos of yourself or of people who agreed to be in the video. Do not upload photos of celebrities, public figures or anyone who has not consented, and label AI videos clearly when you share them.
About 12 seconds in portrait 9:16 format, matching the reference from the first shot to the fighter's shrug.
No. It is the attributed AI reel used as the motion and timing reference, not an Oakgen result. Review faces, hands and the gloves in your video before sharing.
