About the Shirt-to-Jacket Uncle AI Video Generator
The Shirt-to-Jacket Uncle AI Video Generator recreates a Turkish wedding clip that went viral as “Gömleği Cekete Dönüştüren Dayı”, the uncle who turns his shirt into a jacket. It's night at an open-air wedding, the davul and zurna are playing, and an uncle in a blue plaid shirt looks into the camera before he starts to dance. As he dances, his shirt bunches up and hangs open with broad, boxy shoulders, so it looks like a jacket. That moment is the joke.
Upload one photo and the AI puts you in the uncle's place. Your face, hair, facial hair, skin tone and build come from your photo. Everything else comes from the original video: the plaid shirt and its jacket look, the dance moves, the hand and arm gestures, the handheld camera, the wedding setting, the people around him and the davul-zurna music.
How to make the shirt-to-jacket uncle video
- Upload your photo. Pick a photo of one person with the face clearly visible. A front-facing, well-lit photo works best. This photo (Image 1) replaces only the uncle, from the first frame to the last.
- Choose a resolution. The video is 17 seconds and vertical (9:16), like the original. Choose 480p for a quick, cheaper test or 720p for a sharper result. The credit cost is shown next to the Generate button before anything is submitted.
- Generate. Press Generate. Your video appears in your generations with a live progress status, and you can leave the page while it renders.
- Watch, download and share. When it's ready, watch it in the browser and download the MP4 with the original audio. If the render fails, the credits are returned automatically.
What happens in the video
The original is one continuous handheld take. For the first few seconds the uncle is in close-up, wearing a thin blue-and-white plaid shirt with the collar open. From about the sixth second he dances to the davul and zurna: arms up, bending, dropping onto one knee. As he moves, the same shirt bunches up and loosens, the shoulders widen and it hangs open like a jacket.
There's no costume change, cut or effect. The transformation comes from how the shirt moves in the dance. That's why the template takes the clothing from the original video rather than from your photo, so the shirt-to-jacket moment survives in your version too.
What the AI keeps and what it changes
- Kept from the original video: the plaid shirt and dark trousers, the shirt turning into a jacket and its timing, the dance, hand and arm movements, the camera, the wedding setting, the lights and the davul-zurna music.
- Taken from your photo: face, facial features, skin tone, apparent age, hairstyle and hair colour, beard or moustache, and body build.
- Left as they are: the zurna player, the drummer, the young man in the white shirt, the man in the brown shirt and the seated guests. Your photo is applied only to the uncle.
Tips for the best result
- Use a photo of one person. In group photos the AI may pick up the wrong face.
- Show your face from the front, sharp and well lit. Avoid sunglasses, hats and filters that hide the face.
- A photo that also shows your shoulders and upper body helps the model match your build.
- What you're wearing doesn't matter; the shirt and jacket look come from the original video.
- Try 480p first and render 720p with the same photo once you like the result.
- Only upload photos of yourself or of people who have agreed to appear in the video.
Length and resolution
The length follows the original video: 17 seconds, vertical 9:16. The footage is never stretched, trimmed or slowed down, so there's no separate length option.
Motion transfer is billed on the length of the reference video. 720p is sharper than 480p and costs more credits. The price table is below.
Credit cost by resolution
| Duration | 480p | 720p |
|---|---|---|
| 17s | 4,596 credits | 9,841 credits |
Credits are charged once when the render starts and refunded automatically if the generation fails or is blocked by moderation.
Frequently asked questions
How many photos do I need?
One. That photo (Image 1) replaces the uncle and is applied only to him for the whole video.
Will the shirt still turn into a jacket in my video?
Yes. The clothing and the transformation come from the original video. Your version also starts with a thin plaid shirt, and once the dance starts the same shirt hangs open like a jacket.
Why don't my own clothes appear in the video?
Because the joke is the shirt turning into a jacket. Taking the outfit from your photo would lose that moment. Only your face, hair, facial hair, skin tone and build are taken from your photo.
What happens to the other people in the video?
The zurna player, the drummer, the other dancers and the guests stay as they are in the original. Your photo is applied only to the uncle.
How long is the video?
17 seconds, the same as the original. The length follows the reference video, so there's no 15 or 30-second option.
Is the davul-zurna music kept?
Yes. The original audio is preserved and the dance stays in sync with it.
Should I choose 480p or 720p?
480p is faster and cheaper, which is ideal for checking how your photo turns out. 720p is sharper and better for posting.
Why does my face or hair look different in some frames?
During fast moves, bends or moments when the face is briefly hidden, the model can drift toward the original person for a few frames. A sharp, front-facing photo of one person reduces this.
What if my generation fails?
The error is shown on your generation and the credits for that render are returned to your balance automatically.
