How to Create Viral Instagram & TikTok Videos Without VN Codes or Templates

In today’s tutorial, I’ll show you exactly how to create the kind of trending videos you’re seeing all over Instagram and TikTok—without relying on VN codes or ready-made templates. Instead, you’ll learn the full editing process so you can produce unique, original videos that stand out.

Why You Should Avoid VN Codes & QR Templates

Right now, social media is flooded with tutorials that simply provide a VN QR code to replicate a video style. The problem? These methods limit creativity. If everyone uses the same template, all the videos start looking identical. Learning the editing process gives you the freedom to create in your own style and adapt to any trend.

1. Open the PhotoRoom app.
2. Select Start from Photo and choose your image.
3. The app will automatically scan your image and remove its background.
4. Select a white background (instead of black) and save the edited image to your device.

Step 2: Set Up Your Project in Flip CL

1. Open the Flip CL app.
2. Tap the + icon to create a new project.

Step 3: Create Outlines Using Layers

This is where creativity comes in.

Step 4: Duplicate Layers for Animation

For a smooth animation effect:

2. Repeat the outline and color-fill process for each new layer.
3. Create multiple outlines for different parts of the image.

Step 5: Add Background & Decorative Elements

1. Select the bottom layer and fill the background with your chosen color (same as the starting color).
