How it works

How the AI dance generator works

  1. Add the character

    Upload one photo of the person or character who should dance, head to toe if you can. PNG, JPEG, or WEBP files up to 20 MB work.

  2. Add the dance video

    Upload a clip of someone doing the moves. MP4 or WebM files up to 200 MB work.

  3. Add details and generate

    Add a short prompt if you want to keep details like the outfit or the style. The studio shows the price before you start.

Use cases

What you can make dance

  • Yourself

    Use a full-length photo of yourself and a clip of a routine you like, and watch yourself perform it.

  • Cartoons and mascots

    A cartoon, a mascot or a game character can follow the same choreography as a human dancer.

  • Your AI influencer

    Take a photo you made with AIdol and have it dance for a short video post.

  • One routine, many performers

    Film the choreography once and let a different character perform it in each AI dance video.

Motion transfer

Not just dance: character animation from any movement

Dancing is one use. The tool itself is motion transfer: whatever the person in your video does, the character does. In the studio it’s called Character Animation.

  • Walking and running

    A walk, a run or a catwalk strut filmed on your phone becomes your character’s.

  • Gestures and poses

    A wave, a point, a bow to the camera: film the gesture once and reuse it across characters.

  • Acting and performance

    Act out a short scene yourself and let a cartoon or a mascot play it.

Why DER

Character in, motion out

  • Any character

    A person, a mascot or a cartoon — head to toe works best.

  • Moves from a clip

    Upload a video of someone doing the moves to copy.

  • Keep the details

    An optional prompt keeps things like the outfit or the style.

Better results

Photo and video that transfer well

The character and the dancer should be framed alike: a full-body character with a full-body clip.

  • The character photo

    Do

    • One character
    • Head to toe inside the frame
    • A clear, evenly lit picture

    Avoid

    • A close-up when the dance uses the whole body
    • Several characters in one photo
  • The dance video

    Do

    • One person doing the moves
    • Framed like your character
    • The whole body in view

    Avoid

    • Several dancers at once
    • The dancer leaving the frame

    The character copies the moves from the reference video, which isn’t shown here.

Rules

Use it responsibly

The character can be a real person, and so can the dancer. These rules apply to every clip you make:

  • Only use people you have permission to use

    Your own photos, videos and voice recordings, or those of someone who agreed to it.

  • No deception or impersonation

    Don’t pass AI-made videos off as real, or use them to mislead, harass or defraud.

  • Label AI videos when you share

    Say the video was made with AI where it matters.

  • No intimate images

    Never make sexual or intimate images of a real person without their consent, or anything involving minors.

Pricing

What it costs

You pay per clip, in credits.

The price follows the length of your file, and the studio shows it before you start.

FAQ

AI dance video generator FAQ

What is an AI dance video generator?

A tool that makes the character in a photo perform the moves from a video. You upload one photo and one dance clip, and you get a new clip of that character doing the routine.

How do I make a photo dance?

Upload a head-to-toe photo of the character, upload a video of someone doing the dance, check the price and generate.

What makes a good motion video?

One person doing the moves, framed like your character — a full-body character with a full-body clip.

Does it only work for dancing?

No. It copies any movement in the video to the character: walking, gestures, acting, not only dance.

How is this different from character swap?

This tool animates a still character with moves from a video. Character swap goes the other way: it keeps the video and replaces the person in it. For that, use AI Character Swap.

Is the AI dance generator free?

No. Each clip uses credits. The price follows the length of your dance video, and the studio shows it before you start. Credits come from one-time top-ups, starting at $5. There’s no subscription, and failed runs are refunded.

How long are my results kept?

7 days. Keep the ones you want in your Library (up to 200) so they don’t expire.
