Pick The Original if you want the classic skit in your own clothes, Bowl-Cut Disguise for the costume from the most-watched remake, Pet on the Phone for a dog or cat, Golden Hour for a sunset backdrop, Skatepark for a deadpan concrete look and Park Walk for a candid version where you pace. Then choose a tier: Standard 720p costs 10 credits and is the sensible default, while Pro and Ultra cost more and hold faces and hands more steadily. Every Become Millionaire AI video is 12 seconds with the trend sound already in the file.
Key takeaways
- There are six templates and they all use the same 12-second timing. The difference is the subject, the outfit and the scene.
- Four of the six keep your own clothes from the photo. Bowl-Cut Disguise replaces them with a costume, and Pet on the Phone is for animals.
- Credits depend on the model tier and the resolution, not on the template.
- A failed or blocked render returns its credits automatically, so trying a second template is low risk.
Start with the question: who or what is in the photo
The first choice is not a template, it is your photo. Become Millionaire AI accepts a clear photo of you, or of an adult who has agreed to be in it, or one dog or cat. It does not accept celebrities, public figures or anyone under 18.
- A person in their own clothes: The Original, Golden Hour, Skatepark or Park Walk.
- A person who wants a costume: Bowl-Cut Disguise.
- A pet: Pet on the Phone.
After that, the choice is about mood and background. The skit itself does not change. In every template the person holds a phone to the mouth like a voice chat, asks how to become a millionaire in 30 days, lowers the phone to read the reply, reads it aloud puzzled, and lifts the phone again to complain. The templates only change where it happens and who is doing it.
The six templates side by side
| Template | Best for | Outfit | Scene |
|---|---|---|---|
| The Original | The classic version, your face | Your own, from the photo | Empty paved schoolyard, overcast |
| Bowl-Cut Disguise | The loudest, most shareable one | Costume: blond wig, mustache, cream blazer | Autumn office parking lot |
| Pet on the Phone | A dog or cat | The animal's own markings | Sunny parking lot, blue sky |
| Golden Hour | Late-night "me every night" captions | Your own, from the photo | Open field at sunset |
| Skatepark | Deadpan streetwear look | Your own, from the photo | Concrete skatepark, grey sky |
| Park Walk | A candid, on-the-move look | Your own, from the photo | Park path with trees |
All six render the same 12 seconds with the original sound laid under the picture. You can see each one on the templates page.
The Original: you, in your own clothes
The Original is the version most remakes copy. One person stands outside on an overcast day in an empty schoolyard, phone at the mouth. Because your outfit is taken from the photo, choose a photo you would be happy to see on screen.
It works best with a plain hoodie, sweatshirt or jacket. Big logos can get blurred or redrawn, which pulls the eye away from your face. A photo from the waist up helps, because the clip frames you at about mid-thigh and a tight face crop leaves the model guessing your clothes.
Pick The Original when you want the cleanest, most recognisable version, or when you are testing a photo for the first time. If The Original works, you can reuse the same photo on the other person templates.
Bowl-Cut Disguise: the costume everybody recognises
Bowl-Cut Disguise puts a platinum bowl-cut wig, a thick fake mustache, a cream velvet blazer over a bright blue shirt and dark red trousers on you. Your face, skin tone and build still come from your photo. It is set in an autumn office parking lot with soft late-afternoon light.
The costume replaces your clothes and covers your hairline and upper lip, so a front-facing photo matters more here than anywhere else. The eyes and cheekbones carry the likeness. Any photo works, even a selfie in a T-shirt, because the outfit is not taken from it.
If the wig drifts toward your own hair colour in one render, render again. The costume comes back in most renders. See 8 Become Millionaire AI video fails and the fix for each for what to do when it does not.
Pet on the Phone: for a dog or a cat
Pet on the Phone stands your animal up on its hind legs in a sunny parking lot, a phone in one front paw, and moves its mouth to the sound. It keeps the breed, coat colours, markings, ears and size from your photo.
Use a photo where the whole animal is visible and in focus, with its face toward the camera. One animal per photo, because two pets in one picture can merge into one. Long-snouted dogs look the most like they are talking, while short-snouted pets such as pugs and Persian cats get less mouth movement, so the talking reads more subtly.
Pick this template for a dog or cat only. It is not meant for people, and a photo of a person on a pet template is the wrong tool for the job.
Golden Hour: the sunset version
Golden Hour puts you in an open field at sunset with an orange and violet sky and dark trees on the horizon, lit warmly from behind. It builds the "me every night" look directly, so it is a rendered scene and not a green-screen cutout pasted over a photo. That is why the edges of your hair and shoulders look natural.
Bright, evenly lit photos work best, because the template adds the warm backlight itself. A photo that is already orange can look over-cooked. Darker outfits read well against the bright sky, while white tops can glow.
Pick Golden Hour when the caption is the joke and you want the sky left clear for it.
Skatepark: raw and deadpan
Skatepark uses a concrete skatepark with ledges, a low rail and a ramp, under a grey overcast sky. The flat light keeps the look phone-shot, so it feels like a video a friend filmed rather than an effect. Only you are in the frame.
Streetwear photos fit it best: hoodies, beanies and chains carry over. Expressions start from your photo, so for a deadpan look use a photo where you are not smiling.
Park Walk: the one on the move
Park Walk keeps the same timing but lets the asker take a step or two and turn while talking, on a paved path in a quiet park with trees and an empty court behind. The movement makes the clip feel candid.
Full-body or three-quarter photos help, because the camera sees your legs and shoes. Keep jewellery simple. Chains and rings may shift slightly between frames while you move, and hands and the phone can move more here than on a standing template.
Choosing a tier and resolution
Become Millionaire AI renders on Seedance 2.0 and 2.5, the AI video models made by ByteDance. You choose one of four tiers, and each offers a few resolutions. Credits are per 12-second video:
| Tier | Model | 480p | 720p | 1080p |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Standard | Seedance 2.0 Mini | 5 | 10 | not offered |
| Fast | Seedance 2.0 Fast | 8 | 17 | not offered |
| Pro | Seedance 2.0 | 10 | 20 | 50 |
| Ultra | Seedance 2.5 | 17 | 37 | 93 |
The generator starts on Standard at 720p, which is 10 credits. The smallest purchase, the Single pack, gives 10 credits, so it covers exactly one Standard 720p video. The pricing page lists every pack and plan.
Here is a practical way to choose:
- Standard 720p (10 credits): the default. Fine for testing a photo or a template, and for clips watched on a phone.
- Fast 720p (17 credits): a step up when Standard 720p is close but not quite steady.
- Pro 720p (20 credits): a good choice when a face or the hands matter, such as a post for friends who know you well.
- Pro 1080p (50 credits): for when you want the sharpest picture for a bigger screen or a final version.
- Ultra (37 credits at 720p, 93 at 1080p): the newest model. It is the most expensive, so use it for the template and photo you have already settled on.
The sensible method is to test cheap and finish well: try a photo on Standard 720p, and once you know the template works, render the keeper on Pro or Ultra. Fixing a weak photo with a higher tier rarely works, so improve the photo first.
Ratios and the sound
You can render in 9:16 vertical, 1:1 square or 16:9 wide. Vertical 9:16 is the one to use for TikTok, Reels and Shorts. Every video is an MP4 with no watermark, and the trend's original sound is already mixed in, so there is nothing to add. Download it within 24 hours, because the file is then deleted.
What credits cost when you try more than one template
Because the credits depend on tier and resolution and not on the template, trying all six on Standard 720p costs 60 credits in total, and trying two or three is cheaper. If a render fails or is blocked, its credits are returned automatically, so a failed attempt costs nothing. Credit packs are one-off purchases and are final, and credits never expire.
A short decision path
- Is it a pet? Pet on the Phone.
- Do you want a costume? Bowl-Cut Disguise.
- Do you want your own clothes and a calm classic? The Original.
- Do you want a sky behind you? Golden Hour.
- Do you want a raw, deadpan look? Skatepark.
- Do you want some movement? Park Walk.
If the first result is off, the fixes are the same for every template: use a better photo, pick another template, choose Pro or Ultra, or render again. The list is in 8 Become Millionaire AI video fails and the fix for each. Once you have the clip, posting the ChatGPT millionaire video on TikTok, Reels and Shorts covers captions, labels and timing.

Frequently asked questions
Which Become Millionaire AI template is best for a first try?
The Original is the best first try. Become Millionaire AI keeps your own outfit on this template and places you in an empty schoolyard, so it is the cleanest test of a photo. Try it on Standard 720p for 10 credits, then reuse the same photo on Golden Hour, Skatepark or Park Walk to compare.
Do the Become Millionaire AI templates cost different amounts?
No. The credit cost depends on the model tier and the resolution, not on the template. Standard 720p costs 10 credits, Fast 720p costs 17, Pro 720p costs 20 and Ultra 720p costs 37, on every one of the six Become Millionaire AI templates.
Which Become Millionaire AI template is best for a pet?
Pet on the Phone is the only one made for animals. Become Millionaire AI keeps the breed, coat colours and markings from one clear photo of one dog or cat and has it stand on its hind legs with a phone in its paw. Long-snouted dogs show the most mouth movement; cats and flat-faced pets look subtler.
Is Pro or Ultra worth it for a Become Millionaire AI video?
It depends on the problem. Pro and Ultra hold faces, hands and costumes more steadily than Standard, which matters for a post you care about. But a weak photo still limits the result, so improve the photo first. Pro 720p is 20 credits and Ultra 720p is 37.
Can I use one photo on several Become Millionaire AI templates?
Yes. Each render is a separate job with its own credits, and you can keep the photo and change the template. One sharp photo of one adult works on all five person templates, and Bowl-Cut Disguise ignores your outfit. Pet on the Phone needs a photo of a dog or cat instead.
