Step-by-Step Guide: How to Create a Viral Meme Video Using Pikamemes
Here's the full process to go from idea → viral clip.
Step 1: Brainstorm a Relatable, Funny Concept
All good memes start with a recognizable situation or a ridiculous exaggeration of real life. Use these formulas:
- POV memes "POV: when your phone dies at 1% and you panic like it’s the end of the world"
- Expectation vs. Reality "When you finally meet your online crush…"
- Overreactions "Me when I lose 1 follower on TikTok"
- Pop Culture Parodies "If Shrek was cast in ‘Oppenheimer’"
- Tip: Check trending TikTok audio or Twitter meme trends for inspiration.
Step 2: Write a Simple Visual Prompt
Convert the idea into a Pika-style prompt.
Examples:
- "A man in a suit screaming into the void, dramatic lighting, meme style"
- "Shiba Inu in a classroom teaching calculus, students confused, 9:16"
- "Cat walking dramatically into courtroom, everyone turns to look, cinematic comedy"
- "2025 robot walking into a party of 90s humans, confused stares"
Keep it short, descriptive, and visually funny.
Step 3: Select Pikamemes + Model Settings
In your Pika dashboard:
- Choose Pikamemes
- Pika Turbo for speed, Pro for higher detail
- Set aspect ratio to 9:16 (vertical) for Reels/TikTok or 1:1 (square) for Instagram feed
- Clip length: 4-8 seconds is ideal
Step 4: Add Meme Text Captions
Use meme-style overlays:
- Top/bottom text (classic meme style)
- Bold white font with black border
- Add punchline or punch-in visuals
- Keep text short: 1 line is bes
Examples:
- Top: "Me in the Zoom meeting"
- Bottom: "Just pretending I understand"
Or use single captions like: "When you lie on your resume and actually get the job…"
Step 5: Export & Add Finishing Touches (Optional)
Download your clip and polish it in tools like:
- CapCut For motion stickers, viral sounds, timing
- InShot Resize, trim, text
- Premiere Pro For advanced creators
- TikTok Editor Add sounds, effects, trending audio
Use native platform editors to add:
- Trending sounds
- Hashtags
- Stickers or reactions
- Call-to-action: "Tag someone who needs this"
