How to Do the Raindance AI Trend With One Photo

How to Make a Raindance AI Video From One Photo

1. 01

   Upload one photo

   Add one clear, front-facing JPEG, PNG or WebP photo of yourself, up to 30 MB. Use even light, a plain background if you can, and keep your whole head and shoulders in frame.

2. 02

   Choose scene, sound and quality

   Pick a Golden hour pier or a Rainy pier, then Silent or With sound. Standard renders at 480p and HD at 720p; sound does not change the price. A video is $9.90 in a one-video pack, and HD counts as 2.25 Standard videos from a pack. The price is shown before anything is charged.

3. 03

   Generate, then download

   Most clips finish in a few minutes. You can leave the page and find the video in your history. Download the MP4 and post it to TikTok, Reels or Shorts.

What Happens in the 15 Seconds: What You Get From the Raindance AI Video Maker

The Raindance AI video maker returns one finished MP4: a 15-second 9:16 vertical clip built from your single photo at 480p (Standard) or 720p (HD), silent or with new generated sound. It is set on a wooden pier over the sea in the evening, shot like a cinematic music video, and it follows four beats.

Photo Tips for a Raindance AI Video

• Use a sharp, front-facing photo of one person, with the whole head and shoulders in frame and even lighting.
• Avoid sunglasses, hats that hide the hairline, heavy filters, wide shots and photos with more than one person.
• Show your hairstyle clearly. The template keeps the face, hair and build from your photo.
• A calm or soulful expression suits a clip that is a slow, emotional performance. Good light on the face matters more than the background.
• Upload a photo of yourself or of an adult who agreed to appear. Photos of Dave, Tems or any other public figure, and of anyone under 18, are not accepted.
• The clip is 9:16 vertical, so it fits TikTok, Reels and Shorts without cropping. Say it is AI-generated when you post it.

Raindance AI Video FAQ

What is the Raindance AI trend?

It is a short-video format that spread on TikTok from late September 2026, in which people use AI to turn one photo of themselves into a music-video clip on a seaside pier. They stand there at dusk or in the rain, sing to the camera and sway to the rhythm while the shot slowly pushes in. The mood and name come from the song Raindance by Dave and Tems.

What is the Raindance trend?

The Raindance trend is a TikTok format in which a person appears to sing to the camera on a seaside pier at dusk or in the rain, like the star of a music video. It takes its name from the song Raindance by Dave and Tems. This page makes your own AI version from one photo, without the song or any footage.

Can I make a Raindance AI video on this page?

Yes. Upload one clear photo of yourself, choose a golden-hour or rainy pier, silent or with sound, and Standard or HD. The page returns a 15-second vertical Raindance AI video you can download and post.

How do I make a Raindance AI video?

Upload one clear photo of yourself, choose a Golden hour or Rainy pier, choose Silent or With sound, pick Standard or HD, and generate. This Raindance AI video maker uses a preset scene, so there is no prompt to write. Download the 15-second 9:16 MP4 when it is ready.

Is this connected to Dave, Tems or their label?

No. NENE Video has no connection to Dave, Tems, any record label, the creators of the music video or the original AI trend. This is an independent template that generates a new video from your photo. It does not use the original video, recording, lyrics or voices.

Does the Raindance AI video use the original song?

No. The template never includes the Raindance recording or its lyrics. With sound on, it generates a new, original afrobeats-style rhythm with wordless vocal humming and sea ambience, and it does not imitate Dave’s or Tems’s voice. Silent gives you the picture only.

What is the difference between Silent and With sound?

With sound is the default. It adds a new mid-tempo groove, soft percussion and bass, wordless vocal humming and the sound of the sea, and the lip movement follows it. Silent returns the video only, so you can add a track you are licensed to use inside TikTok or Reels. Both cost the same.

What is the difference between the Golden hour and Rainy pier?

Golden hour is a calm evening with low warm sun and dry boards. Rainy adds steady light rain, wet planks and a blue-violet dusk. The performance, length and price are identical. If you want the clearest face, start with Golden hour.

How much does a Raindance AI video cost, and how long is it?

The clip is 15 seconds long in 9:16 vertical format. A video costs $9.90 in a one-video pack and less per video in larger packs ($9.90 for 1 video, $19.90 for 3 videos and $29.90 for 5 videos), with or without sound and on either pier. HD counts as 2.25 Standard videos from a pack. It usually takes a few minutes. The price is shown before you generate, and nothing is charged until you confirm. Free signup credits do not cover a video, so the first one needs a one-time pack. Credits are returned if a generation fails.

What kind of photo works best?

One front-facing, well-lit photo of one person, with the whole head and shoulders in frame. Group photos, back-lit shots, sunglasses and strong filters give the generator less to work with. The template keeps your face, hairstyle and build from the photo.

Can I use a photo of a friend or a celebrity?

Only a photo of yourself or of an adult who agreed to appear. Photos of celebrities, Dave, Tems or any other public figure, and of anyone under 18, are not accepted. You are responsible for having the right to use the photo and any audio you add.

How is this different from the Bulin 47 and AI rap video templates?

The Bulin 47 template is a loud street freestyle in a red-lit doorway with a filming crowd. The AI rap video template is a two-person rap duo from two photos. The Raindance template is a one-photo, quiet and cinematic solo performance on a seaside pier. Each has its own page.

How do I download and share my Raindance AI video?

When the video is ready, press Download MP4 under the preview. It saves as raindance-ai-video.mp4. You can also leave the page while it generates and find the video later in My history when you are signed in. Upload the MP4 to TikTok, Instagram Reels or YouTube Shorts; the 9:16 format fits a vertical feed without cropping.

What if I do not like my Raindance AI video?

Start with the photo: use a sharp, front-facing head-and-shoulders photo with even lighting and no sunglasses or heavy filters. If the face looks soft, try HD; a Try HD button appears under a finished Standard video. Then generate again. Every run is a new generation, so results differ, and each run is charged. Credits are returned automatically only when a generation fails; a finished video you simply do not like is not a failed generation, and the Refund Policy explains what is eligible. Refund Policy.
