How to do the Raindance AI trend from one photo
Updated · AI Dance Trend
Use any everyday photo where your face is clear and well lit, upload it on the Raindance page, pay once ($9.90) and download a 10-second vertical video a few minutes later. It opens on your photo, hard-cuts to you singing on a golden-hour pier, and ends on a wide shot of you on the pier edge. Add "Raindance" by Dave and Tems in TikTok and line the cut up with the bridge.
Make the Raindance video from your photo
Raindance: a real result
The photo
Step by step
- Pick an everyday photo where your face is front-facing and well lit. You don't need a beach or pier photo: the sea and the sunset are generated around you.
- Open the Raindance page, upload the photo and confirm it's you, your pet, or an adult who agreed.
- Pay once: $9.90 for one video, or $19.90 for three if you want to try different photos.
- Wait 2 to 5 minutes and download the MP4 from your order page.
- In TikTok, use the trend's sound and post.
What you get
- A 10-second vertical 720p MP4 with no watermark.
- About one second of your exact photo, then a hard cut to the pier: a close-up of you singing into the lens with a hand rising to your chest, then a wide shot of you sitting on the pier edge at sunset.
- Your clothes from the photo stay, because the video starts from your photo.
- An original mellow afro-R&B instrumental, not the song.
Which photo gives the best result
- Front-facing and sharp: your look stays most consistent after the cut.
- Good, even light: very dark or backlit photos make the face harder to keep.
- One person (or one pet) in the frame.
- A plain everyday shot is better than a glamorous one: the contrast with the pier is the joke.
Timing the cut with the song
The viral edits cut to the pier on the song's bridge. After you pick the sound in TikTok, drag the audio so the hard cut in your video lands on the bridge. If your first try is off, trim a few frames from the start of the audio rather than the video.
