The whole Finger Swipe Reveal hangs on one prop. When the fingers clear the lens, the person on the left is wearing a black hat they did not have a moment ago. This page is about that hat: what the template adds, when, to whom, and how it interacts with your photo.
A black felt pork-pie hat: a short, flat-topped crown, a narrow brim that turns up slightly at the edge and a thin black band. It sits level on the head, not tilted, and casts a soft shadow over the forehead. In the reference it is paired with glasses, but your Hat wearer only wears glasses if their photo shows them.
Never before the swipe. For the first nine seconds the fingers cover the top of both heads and the template is told that no hat is visible. As the fingers sweep down at about 9.3 seconds the hat is simply there, and it stays the same shape and colour until the last frame, through the head turn at 12 seconds and the lean toward the lens at the end.
Only the person in the Hat wearer slot, on the left. The Partner on the right stays hatless. If you want the other person in the hat, swap who you upload into each slot rather than hoping the AI moves it.
The hat goes over the Hat wearer's own hair from the photo. Short hair disappears under the brim except at the sides and back; long hair falls out below it. Very big or high hairstyles are the hardest case, because the hat has to sit on top of them without floating, so a photo with hair down or tied back tends to look most natural.
The hat is the only costume item the template adds. Jackets, shirts, cardigans and jewellery come from each photo, so if you want a coordinated look, choose photos with clothes that suit a black hat.
Look at the frames from 9 to 10 seconds: no hat edge should peek above the fingers before the swipe, and the brim should not cut through the hair or the glasses as it appears. Then check that it does not change shape or slip when the Hat wearer turns at 12 seconds.
Add a photo for the hat wearer and partner.
Upload a clear photo for the Hat wearer and the Partner. Front-facing, waist-up photos with the whole face and hair visible work best. Use only photos of people who agreed to appear.
Choose 480p, 720p or 1080p and review the quote. It includes the full video, both photo preparations and three scene references.
Watch that the faces under the fingers match the faces after the swipe, that the hat appears only after the fingers clear and that nobody swaps sides, then download your portrait MP4 with the original sound.
The fingers lift and sweep down out of frame in one continuous move at about nine seconds, and the hat is simply there. Nothing is edited in after; the timing comes from the reference clip.
The person on the left gains a flat-topped black felt pork-pie hat with a narrow brim, sitting on their own hair. The partner wears no hat.
Each photo casts one person: face, hair, build and the clothes in the photo. Before the swipe only your noses, smiles and outfits show below the fingers; after it both faces are fully visible.
The preview is the original reference clip the template follows. It is the motion and timing reference, not an Oakgen result.
It is a portrait AI clip of about 15 seconds: two people stand side by side in a selfie shot while one of them holds two fingers flat across the lens, hiding both pairs of eyes. At about nine seconds the fingers swipe down out of frame and the person on the left is revealed wearing a black pork-pie hat, then both look into the camera, glance at each other and laugh. Oakgen's template puts you and someone else in the two places and keeps the room, the hand move, the timing and the sound.
After the action itself: two fingers cover the camera and a swipe reveals the change. We did not find an established public name for this exact clip, so the name describes what you see. You may know the move from hand-over-the-lens outfit-change transitions; this one keeps a single take and changes only the hat.
Your video keeps the original sound from the reference clip. We have not identified the music or any song title, so we do not name one.
Yes. The two people in the reference look like real people, so each role needs a photo and neither reference face is ever kept.
Whoever you put in the Hat wearer slot. That person stands on the left, holds the fingers over the lens and wears the black hat after the swipe. The Partner stands on the right and never wears a hat. They never swap sides.
