How to Make the Raindance AI Video With Your Partner (2026)

What is the Raindance AI trend?

It recasts a two-person music video set to "Raindance" by Dave featuring Tems. One person waits at the end of a wooden dock, the other sings to the camera by the water, and the clip ends with the two of them side by side on the beach at sunset.

AI versions started on TikTok on September 27, 2026, and one posted on October 2 passed 54 million views. The version everyone copies is a 29-second, 4:3 clip with 11 shots. People cast their partners, best friends, siblings and cartoon characters in it.

How do I make it step by step?

1. Open the generator. Go to the Raindance AI Video Generator. The template is already selected.
2. Upload your photo. You play the singer, the role with every close-up.
3. Add your partner, or skip it. The second photo plays the person waiting on the dock. Leave it empty and our AI partner stays in that role.
4. Pick the length. 16 seconds covers the dock and the first close-ups. 29 seconds is the full trend with the beach at sunset.
5. Press Generate. The video is ready in 5 to 15 minutes, and you can leave the page while it renders.
6. Download and post. Save the MP4 and add the "Raindance" sound when you post (see below).

You don't write a prompt. The template already has the shots, the camera moves and the singing.

Who plays which role?

• The singer (your photo): the close-ups by the water, the solo shots on the dock and the beach.
• The partner (second photo): waits at the end of the dock, takes a photo and sits with you on the sand.

What photo gives the best result?

• One person per photo, facing the camera with the whole face visible.
• Head to waist or knees. Your outfit carries over into every shot.
• Use your sharpest photo for the singer. That role gets the close-ups.
• Avoid: sunglasses, hats, heavy filters, mirror selfies and photos of anyone who did not agree to be in the video.

How do I add the Raindance sound?

The video downloads without music, so you add the official sound inside the app:

• TikTok: upload the video, tap Add sound, search "Raindance Dave Tems", pick the track and lower the original volume to zero.
• Instagram Reels: upload the video, tap the music icon, search "Raindance" and start the track at the beginning of the video.

The singing lines up because the timing of every shot matches the trend.

Who should I make it with?

• Your partner: the classic version, good for an anniversary post.
• Your best friend: two friends acting out a dramatic love song is funnier than the real thing.
• Your mom or sibling: put them on the dock and sing to them as a birthday surprise.

How much does it cost?

16 seconds uses 100 credits and the full 29 seconds uses 300 credits. HD costs 300 and 600. A credit pack costs $9.99 for 100 credits, there is no subscription, and credits work on every other template. If a video fails, the credits come back to your account automatically.
