How do I make a shaking head meme edit?
A shaking head meme edit is a 9:16 video that combines a caption, the 10-second shaking head loop and the trend's original sound. You supply the photo and the caption; AI Shaking Head supplies the loop and the sound. Unofficial: not affiliated with TikTok, CapCut, ByteDance or the original creator. Make the clip.
What is the meme edit format?
Three layers. At the top, a line of white text with the setup. In the middle, the loop: smug squint, snap, shake, three times. Underneath, the original sound that gives the clip its rhythm. Most of the trend's early clips used a plain one-line caption and no other effects, which is why a single photo is enough. See how the trend began for the first examples.
How do people caption it?
- Culprit first. "How my roommate acts when..." puts the target in the opening words.
- One small crime. A shut-off computer, a spoiled spoiler, a moved charger.
- A number. The original used 95% of a grade. A percentage makes it feel exact.
- Own the subject. The cat in your lap makes a better culprit than a stock animal.

How do I export and post it?
- Choose a photo and the Wide-Eyed Kitten template for a big-eyed look, or any other template.
- Select 9:16 and generate. A standard video costs 10 credits.
- Download the MP4 within 24 hours. It has no watermark and already has the sound.
- Open TikTok, Instagram or YouTube Shorts, add your caption text, and post.
Keep text away from the bottom edge, where the app puts its own caption. If you see the CapCut route in tutorials, the CapCut template page explains what is available. For step-by-step help, read the tutorial.
