Short answer: open the Raindance AI Video Generator, upload a photo of the person who waits on the pier and a photo of the person who sings, pick the length and press Generate. You download a music-video clip — the wait on the wooden pier, the song by the sea, golden hour together — with the “Raindance” sound by Dave and Tems already on it. No app, no filming, no prompt.

What you need
- Two photos: one of the person on the pier, one of the person who sings. (Or the same photo twice for a solo version.)
- A phone or computer with a browser — nothing to install.
- Credits for one clip. The price is on the Generate button before you spend anything, and you can buy credits without creating an account.
Step 1: Get two photos ready
- One person per photo, face clearly visible and looking at the camera.
- Upper body or more, good light, no sunglasses or heavy filters.
- Couples are the classic version, but friends, siblings and pets work too.
- Only photos of you and people who agreed. Children and public figures are not allowed.
Each photo guides one person, so both need to be good. A quick comparison:
| Works well | Causes problems |
|---|---|
| Two different photos, one person in each | A couple selfie cropped in half — faces are small and cut off |
| Both faces sharp and front-facing | One clear photo and one blurry one — the blurry face drifts |
| Similar, soft light in both | One harsh flash photo next to one in daylight |
| Upper body visible | Face-only crops — the pier scene shows more of the body |
| No hats or sunglasses | Anything covering the eyes |
Outdoor daylight photos blend best into the seaside scene, but any well-lit photo works.
Step 2: Upload them in the right slots
The first slot is the one waiting on the pier, the second is the one who sings. Swap the photos if you want the roles the other way round. Want a solo version? Upload the same photo twice and you play both parts.
Which role for whom? The pier role is quieter — sitting, looking out to sea. The singing role is the more expressive one. Many couples give the singing part to whoever is posting it, as a message to the other.
Step 3: Choose the length
The shortest option is the quick version most people post; the longest is the full trend clip. Under Advanced you can switch to 720p or to a vertical shape. The price is on the Generate button before you start.
- Short: the version people recognise from their feed, ideal for TikTok and Reels.
- Long: lets the golden-hour ending breathe; good for an anniversary post.
- Vertical for TikTok, Reels and Shorts; landscape for YouTube or a slideshow.
Step 4: Generate, download, post
Press Generate — sign in, or buy credits without signing up, at this step. A few minutes later download the MP4. The song is already on it, so it is ready for TikTok, Reels or Shorts. Failed clips are refunded automatically.
When you post:
- Keep the song; it is how people recognise the trend.
- Write who it is for in the caption — the trend is personal, and that is what gets shared.
- Tag the other person, after checking they are happy to be in it.
If the result looks off
- Faces look alike or swapped: use two clearly different, sharp, front-facing photos; swap the slots and try again if the roles came out reversed.
- Faces drift: avoid photos with hats, hands or hair over the face.
- One person looks less like themselves: replace that photo with a sharper one, ideally taken in daylight.
- The ending feels rushed: pick a longer length.
Every run is a new take, so a second try with better photos usually fixes it.
FAQ
Is there a free Raindance AI video generator? Not entirely free here: new accounts get a few free credits for the image tools, but a video costs credits. You only pay for clips that succeed.
Is Raindance an AI song? No — it is a real song by Dave featuring Tems. Only the videos are AI.
Can couples make one together? Yes, that is the most common version.
Can I put my pet in it? Yes. A clear photo of the pet facing the camera works; pets usually look best in the singing role.
How long does it take? A few minutes. You can leave the page; the finished clip waits in your creations.
Can I choose a different song? The clip comes with the "Raindance" part the trend uses. If you want other music, you can replace the sound in your editing app before posting.
What happens to our photos? They are used only to make your clip, kept private and deleted automatically after a few weeks.
