Can I use a friend's or a parent's photo for the bamboo flying effect?

Yes, if they are an adult and agree to it. The bamboo flying effect works on anyone over 18, and older parents and grandparents are popular in the template posts. videosi does not accept photos of children, celebrities or public figures, and photos and results are deleted within 30 days.

What does "bamboo flying" mean?

"Bamboo flying" refers to the AI bamboo flying effect, an AI video trend in which a person pulls a bamboo shoot and it rockets them into the sky above a bamboo forest. It is a joke on how fast bamboo grows and, for some, on the bamboo-forest flying of martial-arts films. The videosi version is 5 seconds long.

What song is used in the bamboo flying trend?

The bamboo flying trend has no single confirmed song: as of October 2026 most posts carry each account's own original sound, usually a voiceover explaining the template. The videosi clip comes with the sound of the trend clip we used as the motion reference already on it, and you can swap it for any track when you post.

Is the bamboo flying trend still trending?

As of late October 2026 the AI bamboo flying effect is still emerging: the first posts appeared on TikTok around 21 September 2026 and the trend radar flagged it on 23 October 2026. Most posts so far come from template promo accounts, so it is early and not yet a mainstream trend. videosi lets you post a version before it peaks.

Can I make the bamboo flying video with ChatGPT, Sora, Veo or Kling?

You can try, but the bamboo flying look depends on the cut from a strained close-up to a low angle and a top-down drop, which a single typed prompt rarely gets right. Without a motion reference, models tend to make the person float or fly on their own. videosi runs Seedance with the reference built in, for 5 credits per 5-second standard video.

How long is the AI bamboo flying video, and does it have sound?

The videosi AI bamboo flying video is 5 seconds long, in 9:16, 1:1 or 16:9 at the resolution you pick (720p on the Standard model), as an MP4 with no watermark and with the trend clip's original sound already on it. Photos upload as JPG, PNG, WEBP or HEIC up to 10 MB.

How it is made

The Bamboo Flying AI prompt and model

Bamboo Flying AI is made with Seedance 2.0 / 2.5 (you pick the tier) by ByteDance. The prompt behind it has 5 parts, and the timing is what makes or breaks it.

Model: Seedance 2.0 / 2.5 (you pick the tier)
Mode: Photo + motion reference to video
Length: 5 seconds, 9:16, 1:1 or 16:9
Input: 1 photo

Replace instruction The person in the motion clip is swapped for the person in your photo while the shots, timing and camera angles stay.
Identity lock Your face, hair, skin tone and build come only from your photo, held even in the tiny figure at the top of the stalk.
Outfit and ending Your own clothes or a flowing hanfu robe, and a final shot over the bamboo sea or above the clouds.
Key beats The red-faced pull, the sudden launch and the shocked one-arm hang in the top-down shot.
Rules One adult, a real bamboo shoot with layered sheaths, no wings or wires, no text or logos.

How it opens

Replace the woman with a ponytail, yellow sleeveless top, short shorts and white sneakers in Video 1 with the person from Image 1.…

Why it goes wrong when you do it yourself

Typed prompts alone make the person fly like a superhero or float on a cloud; the joke only works when a bamboo shoot does the lifting.
Without a motion reference most models stay on one shot, so you lose the cut from the strained close-up to the low angle and the top-down drop.
In the wide shots the person is small, and general models swap the face for a generic one unless the identity lock comes first.
Each try costs credits and minutes, and getting the shoot to look like real bamboo instead of a green pole usually takes several attempts.

What is the Bamboo Flying AI trend?

Updated October 28, 2026 · videosi is an independent tool. It is not affiliated with TikTok, Instagram, YouTube, or with the owners of any trend, song, game or brand named on its pages.

The AI bamboo flying effect is a short, silly launch clip. A person squats in a rainy bamboo grove gripping a fat bamboo shoot with both hands and pulls with a red-faced grimace. Instead of coming out of the ground, the shoot explodes upward into a giant stalk and carries them with it. The last shot looks straight down: the person hangs on to the tip, one arm and one leg flung out, mouth open in shock, high above a green sea of bamboo or above the clouds.

It is an AI-native trend, not a real stunt. The earliest posts we could find are dated 21 September 2026 on TikTok, from CapCut and Dreamina template promo accounts in Spanish, Tagalog and Burmese, captioned along the lines of "pull the bamboo and you fly into the sky". Posts spread through late September and October 2026, and the burst radar picked up "ai bamboo flying effect" as an emerging trend on 23 October 2026. No single original creator or sound has been identified, and most posts so far come from template accounts rather than ordinary users, so it has only just started spreading.

Some people read it as a wuxia joke, the bamboo-forest flying of martial-arts films done the lazy way. That is why this page lets you swap your own clothes for a flowing hanfu robe.

videosi makes your version from one photo: the pull, the launch and the top-down shot are fixed by a motion reference, and you choose your outfit and whether you end over the bamboo sea or above the clouds.

Bamboo Flying AI: shot by shot

0-1.2 s
The pull
Low front shot in a misty bamboo grove. You squat on wet ground, both hands round a bamboo shoot, teeth gritted, pulling as hard as you can.
1.2-2.4 s
Lift-off
Cut to a low angle looking up: the shoot has shot skyward into a giant stalk and you are a small figure clinging to its tip.
2.4-3.2 s
Past the treetops
Side shot as the stalk races past the bamboo canopy, you hugging it with arms and legs, mouth wide open.
3.2-5 s
Top of the world
Top-down shot: you hang on to the tip with one arm, the other arm and a leg flung out, a sea of bamboo or a layer of clouds far below.

Tips for a better result

Show your whole body
You squat, hug the stalk and fling out an arm and a leg. A full-body or waist-up photo gives the model your real clothes and shoes.
Face the camera
In the last shot you are small and seen from above, so the model needs one clear, front-facing look at your face.
Bright clothes stand out
A red, white or yellow outfit pops against the green bamboo; dark green blends into the forest.
No sunglasses or hats
Caps and sunglasses hide your face in the close-up pull and often fly off or melt into your hair in the launch.

Good to know before you make a Bamboo Flying AI video

The clip is 5 seconds, the same length as the template version, and the person never speaks or sings.
Likeness is not guaranteed and drifts most in the top-down shot, where you are a small figure far from the camera.
Only adults: photos of babies, children, celebrities and public figures are not accepted.
A failed, timed-out or blocked render returns its credits automatically.
