The Raindance AI generator is for couples and friends who want the pier duet as a short music video: one 4:3 MP4 of 5 to 30 seconds, 480p to 1080p, with the pier clip's own soundtrack. A video costs 143 credits ($1.43) on MiniMax H3 at 5 s or 649 ($6.49) at the Seedance 2.5 720p 10 s default; sign-up credits don't cover it. Until your first purchase the MP4 carries a moving MusicFlick mark.
How to make a Raindance AI music video from two photos
To make a Raindance AI music video on MusicFlick, upload two photos of two different people, choose a model, a length and a resolution, then generate and download one 4:3 MP4. Photo 1 takes the part of the person waiting on the pier, who later kneels with a camera; photo 2 takes the part of the person who walks in and sings every close-up. The pier clip's own soundtrack is laid under the picture, and it all runs in a phone or desktop browser.
- Upload two photos
One clear photo per person with the face visible: JPEG, PNG or WebP, up to 10 MB, 300–6,000 px on each side and at most 16 megapixels. Photo 1 waits on the pier, photo 2 is the singer; the swap button switches them.
- Pick the model, length and resolution
Seedance 2.5 at 720p and 10 seconds is the default; it makes 5, 10, 15 or 30 seconds at 480p, 720p or 1080p. MiniMax H3 makes 5, 10 or 15 seconds at its single 768P tier, delivered as a 720p MP4. The button shows the credit price before you generate.
- Generate and download
Seedance 2.5 first sends both photos and the pier clip through the provider's review. The video is generated from the pier clip, then the clip's soundtrack is laid under it. If the video model fails or rejects a photo, your credits are refunded automatically.
Raindance AI pier duet examples
The four Raindance pier duets below follow the shot list the generator works from: one person waits on the pier, the other walks in and sings, then both sit on the sand. Three show the first 16 seconds in widescreen 16:9, one the whole 28-second cut in vertical 9:16, and two are 3D cartoon versions; the generator itself makes 4:3. Each plays with sound.
Photoreal pier duet, first 16 s (16:9; the generator makes 4:3)
A curly-haired man in a black T-shirt waits on the pier and a woman in a striped top walks in and sings to him, then both sit on the sand. 16 s with music, widescreen.
Photoreal full cut to the sunset, 28 s (9:16; the generator makes 4:3)
A man in black waits on the pier and later kneels with a camera, a woman in a red crop top sings to him, and the cut ends with a sunset silhouette and both on the sand. 28 s with music, vertical.
3D cartoon pier duet, first 16 s (16:9; the generator makes 4:3)
A 3D cartoon boy in a varsity jacket waits on the pier and a girl with braids and sunglasses walks in and sings to him. 16 s with music, widescreen.
3D cartoon pier duet with yellow locs, first 16 s (16:9; the generator makes 4:3)
A 3D cartoon man with yellow locs in a cream knit set waits on the pier and a woman in a green turtleneck walks in and sings. 16 s with music, widescreen.
What happens in the Raindance AI music video, shot by shot?
The Raindance AI music video follows the trend's 30-second pier cut in eight shots: photo 1 sits on the pier as photo 2 walks in, photo 2 sings a close-up, both sit on the sand, photo 2 sings alone on the pier, photo 1 kneels with a camera, a dusk close-up, a sunset silhouette, then the sand again. A 5-second video stops as the first close-up starts, 10 seconds reaches the sand, 15 seconds the pier close-ups, and only 30 seconds has the camera, sunset and ending.
| Time | Shot | On screen | Shortest length with it |
|---|---|---|---|
| 0:00–0:04.5 | Pier opening: photo 1 sits on the pier, photo 2 walks in from far along it | Both | 5 s |
| 0:04.5–0:06.8 | First close-up: photo 2 sings to the camera | Photo 2 | 5 s |
| 0:06.8–0:09.8 | Both sit on the sand, photo 1 with a camera in the lap | Both | 10 s |
| 0:09.8–0:18.5 | Photo 2 sings alone on the pier: close-ups, pointing, hand moves | Photo 2 | 10 s |
| 0:18.5–0:23.1 | Photo 1 kneels on the pier with a camera, photo 2 at the far end | Both | 30 s |
| 0:23.1–0:24.8 | Dusk close-up of photo 2 | Photo 2 | 30 s |
| 0:24.8–0:27.1 | Sunset silhouette of both on the beach | Both | 30 s |
| 0:27.1–0:30 | Both on the sand again, to the end | Both | 30 s |
The prompt asks the model to follow these shots and cuts with your two people; results vary by model and photo. A shorter length is the opening of the same cut, so it ends wherever that shot is at that second.
Is the Raindance song in the AI video?
The Raindance AI video carries the soundtrack of the pier clip the template follows: after the picture is generated, the clip's own audio track is laid under it, so the MP4 plays with sound and the cuts fall where they do in the trend. Whatever sound the video model makes is dropped. MusicFlick has not checked whether that track is the full studio recording of "Raindance" by Dave featuring Tems, and no music licence comes with it.
Want your own song instead? The download is an ordinary MP4, so you can replace the sound in TikTok, Instagram or an editor such as CapCut, but the cuts stay where the pier clip puts them.
What is the Raindance AI trend?
The Raindance AI trend is a TikTok and Reels format that recasts two people's photos into a pier scene set to "Raindance" by Dave featuring Tems: one person waits on a wooden pier, the other walks up singing to them, and both end up on the sand at golden hour. People make it with a person-swap template or a reference clip, because a plain image-to-video prompt can't reproduce the cuts, the walk-in and the lip timing.
According to tutorials and reposts, the AI version spread from late September 2026, with step-by-step guides appearing in early October. It has nothing to do with the Raindance Film Festival or the hansgrohe Raindance shower, which share the name.

What the Raindance AI generator can't do
The Raindance AI generator follows one fixed pier cut, so it can't change the place, the shot order or the sound: the prompt asks every video for the same pier, sea and sand in 4:3, with photo 1 and photo 2 in fixed parts. It needs two different photos and puts exactly two people in the video.
- No other location, your own shots or a vertical frame: the pier cut is 4:3. Crop it in an editor if you want 9:16 for Reels or TikTok.
- Exactly two people: one photo can't play both parts, and a group photo stays one image, so crop each person into their own photo first.
- MiniMax H3 stops at 15 seconds; only Seedance 2.5 makes the 30-second cut with the camera, sunset and ending shots.
- The prompt asks each model to keep the face, hair and clothes from each photo and to time photo 2's lips to the clip, but results vary by model and photo. Clear, front-facing photos without sunglasses or heavy filters give the model the most to work with.
- No captions, logos or your own song inside the generator; add them in an editor after you download.
Raindance AI FAQ
Can two women, two men or two friends play the parts?
Yes. The prompt assigns the parts by photo only: photo 1 waits on the pier and photo 2 sings, whatever their gender, and it tells the model never to swap them. Results vary by model and photo; if the parts come out the wrong way round, use the swap button for the next video.
Can I post the video to TikTok or use it in an ad?
The soundtrack comes from the trend's pier clip, and MusicFlick gives you no music licence for it, so platforms may mute or claim it. For paid ads or brand accounts, replace the sound with music you are licensed to use, and get permission from both people in the photos.
Who can see the photos I upload?
Your photos are stored on MusicFlick's storage at unlisted links and sent to the video model provider so it can read them; anyone who has a link can open the photo, but the links are not published. The finished video appears only in your account, and the download link on the page needs your sign-in.
Do I need to sign in or install an app?
You sign in to generate, but there is no app: the generator runs in a phone or desktop browser. You can pick photos, compare models and lengths and see every price without an account; after you sign in, the form keeps your photos and settings, and the finished video stays in your account.
