How to Do the Raindance AI Trend
By the Raindance AI Video teamUpdated 4 min read
The short answer
To do the Raindance AI trend you need two photos, an AI video generator and the song. This guide shows how to make a Raindance AI video from start to finish: choosing photos, making the video, adding "Raindance" by Dave and Tems, and posting it.
How to make a Raindance AI video in 6 steps
- Pick two photos. Choose one clear, front-facing photo of each person. One person per photo, face and shoulders visible, even light.
- Choose who is who. Person 1 waits on the pier and person 2 is the singer. Use Swap people if you want it the other way round.
- Make the Raindance AI video. Confirm you have the right to use both photos and start the video. Both of you are placed into every shot, from the pier to the beach at sunset.
- Download the MP4. The video comes without music so the official sound can be added when you post.
- Add the Raindance song. In TikTok, upload the MP4, tap Add sound, search "Raindance Dave Tems" and start the sound at 0:00.
- Post it. Post to TikTok or Reels with the official sound attached so the video shows up with the rest of the trend.

Choosing photos that work
The photo matters more than anything else you do. A good one looks like this:
- One person per photo, face and shoulders visible.
- Front-facing, even light, no sunglasses or heavy filters.
- A photo someone else took works better than a selfie.
- JPG, PNG or WebP.
Avoid group photos, side profiles, hats that cover the hairline and anything heavily edited. If the person's hairstyle matters to you, pick a photo where it is fully visible.
Adding the Raindance song
In TikTok
- Tap + and upload the MP4.
- Tap Add sound and search "Raindance Dave Tems".
- Start the sound at 0:00 so it lines up with the first shot.
- Post.
In CapCut
- Start a new project and import the MP4.
- Open Audio, then Sounds, and search "Raindance".
- Line the song up with the first frame, then export.
Music libraries differ by country. If the song is missing in CapCut, add it in TikTok when you post.
Fixes for common problems
The two people are the wrong way round
Use Swap people before you start. Person 1 is always the one waiting on the pier and person 2 is always the singer.
The face does not look right
Try a sharper, front-facing photo taken in daylight. Selfies taken up close distort the face, so a photo someone else took usually works better.
A photo was not accepted
Photos need to show one adult. Pictures of celebrities, children or more than one person are not allowed.

Raindance AI how-to FAQ
How much does it cost to do the Raindance AI trend?
A full Raindance AI video uses 100 credits at 720p or 160 credits at 1080p, bought in one-time packs with no subscription. Before your first purchase, you can try one free preview at 720p while capacity is available. You can replay the preview but not download it. Paying customers generate the full video directly. See Raindance AI pricing for every pack.
What app is used for the Raindance AI trend?
There is no single app. People use general AI video tools with their own reference clip, or a dedicated Raindance AI video generator like this one, and then add the song in TikTok or CapCut.
Can I do the Raindance AI trend on my phone?
Yes. Upload the two photos from your camera roll, download the MP4 and add the sound in the TikTok app.
Can I do the Raindance trend alone?
The trend is built around two roles, so you need two photos. They can be of you and a partner, a friend or a family member who agreed to be in it.
Why does the video have no music?
Adding the official sound inside TikTok or Reels keeps the music licensed by the platform and links your post to the trend.
