How it works

How do I make the chased by hyenas video with my own face?

Upload one photo of yourself and get a 10-second vertical video: you run straight at a shaky phone camera across the savanna with a pack of hyenas right behind, one tumbles in the dust, you glance back and scream, swerve and keep going. No one gets bitten and you never fall.

  1. Add your photo

    Upload one sharp photo. One person, head to toes if you can. No sign-in, no password and no app: it all happens on this page.

  2. The AI does the moves

    Sprinting straight at the camera → The pack right on your heels → One hyena lunges and tumbles → A look back and a scream → A hard swerve, still running

  3. Post it like the meme

    Caption it like you're explaining why you're late.

Price, refunds, limits and tips
You need
One sharp photo. One person, head to toes if you can. JPG, PNG or WebP. Nothing else: no prompt to write, no editing.
Who can be in it
You or other adults who agreed. No pets in this one.
You get
A 10 to 10-second MP4 (9:16) up to 1080p, with footsteps, panting, hyena cackles and a scream, made by the AI (not the trend's sound), no watermark, usually in 2 to 5 minutes.
Price
A 10-second 720p video on Seedance 2.0 Mini is ⁠$4.99⁠ on its own, one payment. With credits it uses 20 credits (credits from ⁠$9.99⁠), or subscribe.
Limits
10 seconds, one shaky shot. The savanna and the hyenas are the AI's; your face, hair and clothes come from your photo. The AI sometimes draws the pack closer to wild dogs than hyenas, as in many versions of the trend. Nobody gets bitten, no blood. Adults only, one person per photo.

What is the Chased by Hyenas meme?

Chased by hyenas is an AI video effect that took off at the start of November 2026: people put themselves running across the savanna with a pack of hyenas behind them. CapCut posts captioned "Fui perseguido por hienas!" ("I was chased by hyenas!") spread in Portuguese, Polish and English, one from November 5 passed 410,000 plays, and how-to posts followed.

Best photo for a Chased by Hyenas video

One person, head to toes if you can, face clear, in daylight. Any clothes: the AI keeps what you're wearing, so trainers help the joke.

Post it like the meme

Try one of these:

  • I was chased by hyenas
  • sorry I'm late, long story
  • leg day was not optional

FAQ

Chased by Hyenas AI FAQ

Do the hyenas catch me?

No. One lunges and tumbles in the dust, you look back and scream, and you're still running at the end. No biting, no blood.

Why do they look like wild dogs?

In most versions of the trend the pack looks more like African wild dogs than hyenas, and the AI can drift that way too. The prompt asks for spotted hyenas.

Can my friend run with me?

This one is one runner. For two of you in one video, try Hop Hop Hop Dance or Shoulder Carry.

Does it have the trend's sound?

No. The AI makes the footsteps, cackles and the scream. Switch sound off and add the trend's audio in TikTok when you post.

Is this the CapCut template?

No. The CapCut template pastes your photo into a ready-made clip; here the chase is made new from your photo, with you running the whole time.

Is Turnly an app, a filter or the official Chased by Hyenas maker?

No. Turnly is an independent website, not made by or affiliated with the creators of the Chased by Hyenas meme, TikTok or CapCut. There's no app or live filter: you upload a photo in your browser and get a new AI video. It never uses or edits the original clip.

Sign-up, payment, refunds, failed videos and what happens to your photos are answered on the Pricing and How it works pages.
