I Love the Smiths Template: How the CapCut Version Works
Updated
Most I love the Smiths AI videos on TikTok come from a CapCut AI template. Here is how that template works, what to watch out for and how to make the same elevator scene without it.
How the I love the Smiths CapCut template works
1. Find the template
Open a TikTok that shows a "CapCut · Try this template" link under the caption, or search "i love the smiths" in CapCut's template tab.
2. Use the template
Tap "Use template in CapCut", then pick the photos the template asks for, usually two.
3. Export and post
CapCut renders the scene with the film's original audio and exports it, usually vertical.
Things to know before you use the template
- Templates come and go: a link that worked yesterday can be gone today.
- The template keeps the film soundtrack, so a post can be muted or restricted, and it cannot be used in ads.
- You need the CapCut app and an account; AI templates can need a paid plan or credits.
- Your photos are processed under CapCut's own policies.
Make the I love the Smiths scene without a template
This site makes the same 15-second elevator scene from two photos in your browser. The lines are spoken by new voices and the music is original, you get both a landscape and a vertical file, and your photos are deleted about 22 hours after upload.
Make your I Love the Smiths video

Questions
Is the I love the Smiths CapCut template free?
It depends on CapCut: AI templates can need credits or a paid plan in some regions.
Why is my template video muted on TikTok?
The template uses the film's copyrighted soundtrack, which TikTok can mute or restrict. A video with original sound avoids that.
Do you host or share the CapCut template?
No. We only explain how it works. This site is an independent tool with its own generator.
