A flying broomstick AI video turns one photo into a short clip of you riding a broom through ordinary traffic. Before Halloween 2026 three versions took over TikTok. In My Ride Is Here, a witch on a broomstick floats across an intersection in front of a car waiting at a red light. In the witch broom crash, the rider flies down a quiet street toward the camera and slams into a road sign. In the car chase version, the rider races a moving car on a country road, hits a road sign, comes back to the window and gets struck by lightning. All three are made from a single photo, and you do not need a broom or a costume.
What is a flying broomstick AI video?
It is a vertical clip of about 10 to 15 seconds in which a real looking person, or a pet, sits on a broom and flies a few feet above the road. The scene around them is completely normal: a suburban street, a traffic light, a car. That contrast is the whole joke.
On TikTok you will see the same idea under a lot of names:
- flying broomstick AI and flying broom AI
- My Ride Is Here broom trend and broom riding trend
- witch broom crash and witch broom trend
- AI witch effect, witch effect Halloween and CapCut witch filter
Most posts are labeled as AI generated, and most of them are tutorials that link to a CapCut template.
What is the My Ride Is Here broom trend?
It is the most used of the three. The clip is filmed as if from the driver's seat of a car stopped at a red light in an American suburb. A witch in a pointed hat and a black dress drifts across the intersection on her broomstick, sitting sideways at window height, and floats past the car as calmly as a pedestrian. The caption that gave the trend its name is "My ride is here!"
The earliest My Ride Is Here post we could find on TikTok is from September 29, 2026, and it links to a CapCut template called "Real-life H. Potter," created on September 23. By October 21 that template had been used more than 166,000 times.
You will also see people searching for a My Ride Is Here version "without witch." That simply means riding the broom in your everyday clothes, which many people find funnier than the full costume.
If you came looking for music, "My Ride's Here" is a 2002 song by Warren Zevon. It has nothing to do with this trend.
What is the witch broom crash?
It is the slapstick follow-up. The camera stands still on a quiet residential street. The rider appears far down the road, flies toward the camera on a broom, swerves toward the curb and smashes into a road sign, then lands in a heap on the grass. Some versions put a cat on the broom, and the cat hits the sign too.
Most of these clips come from a CapCut template called "Funny flying," created on October 17, 2026, which had been used more than 116,000 times by October 21. The same template also makes the calmer street shot where the rider simply floats toward the camera, which is why many of these posts are tagged #myrideishere as well as #witchbroomtrend and #broomcrash.
How do the three broom videos compare?
| Version | What you see | How it is made |
|---|---|---|
| My Ride Is Here | From a car stopped at a red light, a witch floats across a suburban intersection. About 10 seconds. | CapCut template "Real-life H. Potter" |
| Witch broom crash | From a camera standing on a quiet street, the rider flies closer and hits a road sign. About 10 seconds. | CapCut template "Funny flying" |
| Car chase | From a moving car on a country road, the rider races alongside, hits a road sign, comes back to the window and gets struck by lightning. About 15 seconds. | One photo on EAST.IM |
My Ride Is Here is quiet and deadpan. The witch broom crash is a quick pratfall. The car chase is the longest of the three and tells a small story with a punchline at the end. Pick the one that fits the joke you want to tell.
What does "witch effect Halloween" mean on TikTok?
In broom tutorials, "AI witch effect" and "CapCut witch filter" usually mean one of these flying broom clips: you upload a photo and the effect puts you on a broomstick. The same words are also used for face filters that only add witch makeup or a hat, so check the preview before you use one. If the preview shows a broom in a street scene, it is the flying broomstick effect.
Do you need a witch costume?
No. The effect only needs a clear photo of you. In the My Ride Is Here template the witch outfit often comes with the scene, while in the witch broom crash and the car chase you ride in whatever you wear in your photo. If you want the witch look in a version that keeps your clothes, put on a pointed hat or a cape before you take the picture.
How do you make a flying broomstick AI video from one photo?
For My Ride Is Here and the witch broom crash, most people use the CapCut templates linked from TikTok posts tagged #myrideishere or #broomcrash. You open the template, add your photo and export the clip.
For the car chase, EAST.IM has a witch broom car chase template that keeps the country road, the corn fields, the car, the road sign and the lightning, and replaces only the rider:
- Upload one photo. A sharp full body photo works best, from head to shoes. The AI first turns it into a clean full body picture.
- Pick 480p, 720p or 1080p. Tick the consent box and press Create video.
- Download the MP4. The finished clip keeps the original audio and waits in My Videos for 48 hours.
AI results vary, and a blurry or dark photo is the most common reason one misses.
Can your cat or dog ride the broomstick?
Yes. Pet versions are a small but steady part of the trend. Some witch broom crash posts send a cat into the road sign, CapCut has cat templates with names like "Cat flying on broom" and "Cat on witch broom," and a few tutorials show a dog on the broom. Our car chase template also works with a cat: upload a sharp photo of your cat with its whole body in view and the cat takes the broom. A cat does not move like a person, so some results look a little strange, which is often the funniest part.
Only use photos of yourself, your own pets or people who agreed to be in the video. Do not upload strangers, children or public figures.
Is "broomstick AI" a golf putter?
Sometimes. Golf brands call long putters "broomstick" putters, and Odyssey sells them in its Ai-ONE line, so "broomstick AI" on its own often means golf. If you are here for the video of a person riding a broom past a car, you are in the right place.
How much does the car chase video cost and how long does it take?
Each video is about 15 seconds, vertical 9:16, with the original audio. It costs 800 credits at 480p, 3,500 credits at 720p or 8,000 credits at 1080p, and the price is shown on the Create video button. Video tools need a subscription or a credit pack. Most videos are ready in 10 to 20 minutes, and if one fails the credits go back automatically.
When you post, add #flyingbroomstick or your own Halloween tags, and turn on the AI label.
