Finger Snap is a one-tap file, not a prompt you rewrite weekly
/templates/finger_snap is a photo in, a clip out. A new generate is a different object.
finger_snap is a photo in, a clip out. A new generate is a different object. The Finger Snap template is not a Veo prompt you rewrite every Monday when the outfit feels stale. Upload the still, run the format, get the clip. The raise, the snap, the transformation — those choices already happened when the template was built. Your job is the photograph.
Rewriting "person snaps, cinematic wardrobe change, crowd" in a text-to-video box is a generate. It will invent a different face. That is not a rerun of the template.
The snap is already blocked
Finger Snap sits in the trending catalog. The description is the format: put your face on a character and animate them with a viral finger-snap transition. The only required input is user_image_url, labelled "Your photo." There is no scene list. There is no "describe this week's after-look" field on the object.
Run a one-tap AI video template is the agent job. get_template lists the inputs. Once the photo is a hosted URL from the attach button, start_template_run starts it. A live card tracks the run; get_template_run and cancel_template_run support that card. You do not pick Veo versus Kling inside the template. The template already chose its stack.
Estimated cost is on the template before you run: about 22 credits, about 43 for a full-quality render. A blank generate with a 400-word snap prompt is a different quote and a different failure mode — the face will drift.
The named-job writeup is a one-tap AI video template is a photo in and a finished clip out. The format DNA is the finger snap trend. This page is only the object: finger_snap, photo in, clip out.
Wardrobe notes are a different object
Post 12 wants a street look. Post 13 wants a gala. Opening a text-to-video row and specifying outfits is how you leave the template. The template's job is the format — snap gesture, identity hold across the cut — applied to this still. It is not a weekly art-direction session.
If you need a different format, pick a different template from the templates catalog. Mugshot is a sibling, not a prompt flag. A custom three-act arrival is a movie or a generate — call it that so you do not pay the 22-credit estimate for a clip you will not post.
You can change the photo. You cannot rewrite the template's blocking. There is no prompt field that turns Finger Snap into a product demo. Face-on, sharp, one person. Starting before the photo is a hosted URL is a failed run. request_asset_upload is for workflow assets, not for this.
Cloning a public workflow (recreate_public_template) is a different object again: saved, not auto-run, a scene graph. One-tap is finger-snap class. Do not mix them in one estimate.
One tap, one file
Each start_template_run is its own file. It does not continue last week's snap. A new still of the same person is another take — same format, new generate. Treating two runs as one series you iterate in a prompt is how people open a custom generate and never come back.
Cancel an in-flight run with cancel_template_run. Closing the chat is not a cancel.
If no template matches, generate. Forcing Finger Snap to be a talking brand film is paying for the snap format and then not posting it. Use it when the post is the snap. Skip it when the post is a plot.
FAQ
Do I pick the video model inside Finger Snap?
No. The template already chose its stack. If you wanted to pick a model per shot, you wanted a generate or a movie, not one-tap.
Can I describe this week's after-outfit in the prompt?
Not on this object. The template takes your photo. Outfit direction is a different job. Run the template, or leave it and generate. Do not mix the two in one estimate.
What photo does it actually need?
Your photo, required. Clear, front-facing, one person. That is the still the format consumes. A group shot, a tiny crop, or a photo of the outfit on a hanger is how the run misses.
Is a new weekly run "the same video, updated"?
No. Each run is a new file from the current still. Same format, new object. That is the point of one-tap. It is also why you should not spend a week rewriting a custom prompt to chase last week's snap.
