Raindance AI trend · photo to video

Raindance AI Video Generator

Raindance AI turns one or two photos into the pier scene from the viral trend: one person waits at the end of a wooden pier, the other sings to them and dances along the planks, and the clip ends with the two of you side by side over the water. Five shots, 15 seconds, made from your photos.

The Raindance AI trend comes from the music video for "Raindance" by Dave featuring Tems, released in 2025. In one scene a man sits at the end of a pier while a woman sings to him at golden hour. On TikTok and Reels, people now recast that scene with themselves, their partner, their best friend or their grandparents.

Musikalis films the scene from scratch instead of pasting faces onto the original footage. Add a photo for each person, choose a golden-hour, rainy, sunset or blue-hour pier, and decide whether the singer performs an original serenade or mouths silently so you can add the trend sound yourself.

Every Raindance AI video is a 15-second clip in five cuts, vertical 9:16 for TikTok and Reels or 16:9 for the cinematic look, with no watermark.

How to do the Raindance AI trend

  1. 1

    Add one or two photos

    For a duet, the first photo is the person waiting on the pier and the second is the singer; tap the arrows to swap them. For a solo video, add one photo. Use clear photos where the face and outfit are visible.

  2. 2

    Pick the pier and the sound

    Choose a golden-hour pier, summer rain, sunset beach or blue-hour lamps. Keep the original serenade and edit its two lines, or choose silent lip-sync for the trend sound.

  3. 3

    Render, add the sound and post

    The video is usually ready in about 8 minutes. Download it, add the "Raindance" sound in TikTok or Reels if you want the trend audio, and post with #raindance and #raindanceai.

What is the Raindance AI trend?

It is a photo-to-video trend built on one romantic scene: a wooden pier over a calm sea, one person waiting at the end, the other singing and dancing toward them, then both sitting together as the light fades. Creators keep the scene and swap in their own people.

  • A long wooden pier over the sea, usually at golden hour
  • One person sitting at the end, looking out at the water
  • A singer in close-up, then dancing slowly along the planks
  • An ending shot from behind with both people side by side

Why make your Raindance AI video with Musikalis

Most Raindance templates put your face on the original clip. Musikalis renders a new performance from your photos, so the people, the outfits and the song all belong to you.

  • Five shots in one 15-second render, not a single cropped moment
  • Two separate photos work, so you do not need a picture together
  • Original serenade lines you can edit, or a silent version for the trend sound
  • Four piers: golden hour, summer rain, sunset beach and blue-hour lamps
  • Vertical 9:16 or widescreen 16:9, standard 768P or HD 2K, no watermark
  • Credits come back automatically if a render fails

Is Raindance an AI song?

No. "Raindance" is a song by the British rapper Dave featuring the Nigerian singer Tems. The "AI" in Raindance AI refers to the AI videos fans make of the music video scene. Musikalis does not include or recreate the song; you can add the official sound inside TikTok or Reels.

Photos that work best

The model keeps the face, hairstyle and clothes it sees, so the photo decides how much the result looks like you.

  • One person per photo, facing the camera
  • Face clearly visible, with no sunglasses, hands or heavy filters in the way
  • Outfit visible from at least the waist up
  • Soft, even light rather than strong backlight

Frequently asked questions

What is Raindance AI?

Raindance AI is the trend of recreating the pier scene from the "Raindance" music video with your own people using AI. On Musikalis you upload one or two photos and get a 15-second, five-shot version of the scene.

Does the video include the Raindance song?

No. With Original serenade, the singer performs two new lines over a soft guitar groove. With Silent lip-sync, there is no singing voice, only soft background music and the sea, so you can lower the original volume and add the official "Raindance" sound in TikTok or Reels.

Who sits on the pier and who sings?

In a duet, the first photo is the person waiting at the end of the pier and the second photo is the singer. Tap the swap button between the photos to switch the roles.

How long is the video and how long does it take?

Every video is 15 seconds with five shots. Rendering usually takes about 8 minutes, and you can leave the page while it runs.

Is it vertical or widescreen?

You choose: vertical 9:16 fills a phone screen on TikTok, Reels and Shorts, and widescreen 16:9 looks like the original music video.

How many credits does a Raindance AI video cost?

A standard 768P video costs 200 credits and an HD 2K video costs 300 credits. The tool is included in every paid plan. If a render fails, the credits go back to your balance automatically.

Is there a free Raindance AI generator?

New Musikalis accounts get free credits for music tools, but Raindance AI videos need a paid plan because every clip is fully rendered rather than stamped onto a template. There is no watermark on any video.

Do we need to be in the same photo?

No. Each person uses their own photo, so you can make one with someone who lives far away.

Can I use photos of celebrities or other people?

Only use photos of yourself or of people who agreed to appear. Videos of public figures, including Dave or Tems, are not allowed. Musikalis is independent and not affiliated with the artists or their labels.
