Raindance AI: Put Two Photos in the Dave & Tems Video
The trend where two photos become a scene from Dave and Tems’ “Raindance”: one of you waits at the end of the pier, the other walks up singing, and the sun goes down behind you both. Pick one of the real versions below — the pier, the cats, the Shrek cut — add two photos, and AI puts you into that clip with its sound still on — that is the whole Raindance AI workflow.
- Two photos
- Any of the real versions

View on TikTokWhat Is the Raindance AI Trend?
The Raindance AI trend is a two-photo trend built on “Raindance” by Dave featuring Tems. One photo takes the role of the person sitting at the end of a wooden pier, the second the person who walks up the boards singing to them, and the pier, the golden-hour light, the camera moves and the song are the video’s own.
The faces, the bodies and the outfits in your Raindance AI video are yours. It is worth separating the trend from the dance, though: “Raindance” came out at the end of 2025 and had a dance of its own by February 2026, the one with the shoulder shimmy, and those posts are still the biggest anything with the song’s name on it — 30 million plays on one January clip. The Raindance AI trend is much later and much narrower. It only uses one scene from the video, and instead of dancing it recasts: from late September 2026 people started putting their own faces and their own pets into that pier, and the clip stopped being about the dance entirely — that is the point where it turned into the Raindance AI trend.
The early Raindance AI posts set the shape. Two cats took the pier first and are still the biggest pure-pet version (5.1M plays); then Shrek and Lord Farquaad, and Gru and Vector from the same account (1.1M and 571K); then Haaland singing to Bellingham (1.1M), which is the joke the Raindance AI trend settled on: two people who would never be on a pier together, playing it completely straight. The single most-watched post is a French CapCut demo of the template at 13.4M plays and 1.73M likes. By the first week of October the tutorial accounts had picked it up, and “raindance ai trend” had become a search of its own.
What makes the Raindance AI trend a meme rather than a filter is the casting. The scene already has one person waiting and one person performing, so any pair fits — a couple, two friends, a parent and a child, two pets, a footballer and a pop star, a cartoon villain and his rival. A few people skipped the AI altogether and rebuilt the pier for real, which is where the caption “No AI needed” comes from: the thing being copied is the staging, not the model.
A Raindance AI video made here is the third version. It is not one fixed template rendering the same 28 seconds for everyone, and it is not a still photo. You pick a real post from the gallery above, hand over two photos, and the model recasts both roles inside it, so the Raindance AI video keeps that clip’s cuts, its framing and its sound.
How to Make a Raindance AI Video
- 1
Pick the version
Choose one of the sixteen clips above. Sunset or midday, close-up or the full sequence, real people or characters: the clip you pick decides the light, the framing and the sound your Raindance AI video gets.
- 2
Add both photos
Upload one clear photo for each role. Take two selfies in decent light if you do not have a photo of the two of you together — the model places both identities in the Raindance AI scene, so they never have to have met in front of a camera.
- 3
Generate and post
Your Raindance AI video comes back with the sound of the post you picked, so it posts onto the same audio page as the rest of the trend. One photo instead of two also works: the person singing gets replaced and the seated one stays.
Tips for a Better Raindance AI Video
Two photos, and know which is which
The seated role and the singing role are not interchangeable in a Raindance AI video: the singer gets the close-ups, so give that role the photo with the clearest face, looking at the camera. Front-facing beats a dramatic angle every time.
Match your light to the clip
Sunset clips and midday clips are both in the gallery, and a photo taken in one light dropped into the other looks wrong immediately. Pick the clip that matches where your photos were taken — the striped-top and green-dress clips are daylight, everything else is golden hour.
Half a swap is allowed
One photo is enough for a Raindance AI video. With a single photo the singing role becomes yours and the person already sitting at the end of the pier stays, which is the version to make if you want to be in the scene but not next to someone invented.
Do not crop the pier out
The pier, the water and the empty boards are what make the scene recognisable. If you need vertical for TikTok, start from one of the nine-by-sixteen clips rather than cropping a wide one, or the wide shot loses both the pier and the people.
Pets are the funniest version
Two cats on the pier is a bigger post than most of the human ones, and the model handles fur, markings and eye colour well. A photo of each animal where the whole head is visible is all it takes; the seated role does not need the face at all.
Leave the song out of the prompt
The sound is already in the clip you picked. Asking the model for music or for lip-sync audio only gets in the way — the video keeps the post’s own audio, which is the version that lands on the trend’s sound page.
Pricing
Each Raindance AI video is one use (700 credits), whether you pick 5, 7 or 15 seconds. The price is on the button before you start, and nothing else is added.
A single use is $9.90; packs of 4 and 8 uses, or a monthly plan that posts trend videos to your accounts for you, cost less per video. A render that fails is refunded automatically.
Autopilot plans
Every month we turn the newest trends into meme videos and post them to your accounts. Each post is one of the plan’s videos, and any you make yourself come out of the same count. Cancel any time.
One-time video packs
Pay once and use them on any trend template, at any length. The credits never expire, and the other video tools can spend them too.
Use it responsibly
- Only upload photos of yourself, of people who said yes, or of your own pets.
- Do not use it to make someone look like they did something they did not.
- Label the result as AI when you post it; TikTok and Instagram both have an AI-generated tag.
- The song and the scene belong to Dave, Tems and their label. Treat what you make as a fan edit and keep it personal, not commercial.
- Casting real people as a couple or as rivals is the joke, but get a yes before you post someone else’s face next to yours.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Raindance AI trend?
The Raindance AI trend is a two-photo trend built on Dave and Tems’ “Raindance”. One photo takes the role of the person sitting at the end of a wooden pier, the other the person who walks up singing to them, and the golden-hour scene, the camera moves and the song come from the music video.
Who sings “Raindance”, and is the song AI?
“Raindance” is by Dave, featuring Tems, and it is a real released song, not an AI one — it came out at the end of 2025 and had its own dance trend by February 2026. Only the video in a Raindance AI post is generated. The trend keeps the original track, which is why the posts all land on the same audio page.
Is the Raindance AI trend real or staged?
Both versions exist. Most Raindance AI posts are AI: two photos recast into the pier scene. But the staging is simple enough that people have rebuilt it for real on actual piers, and those posts get captioned “No AI needed”. The scene is what the trend copies, so a real shoot and a render look almost the same in a feed.
Do I need two photos, and do they have to be together?
Two photos is the standard version, one per role, and they do not need to be from the same picture or even the same year — the model places both identities into the scene. One photo also works: the singing role becomes yours and the person already in the clip stays where they are.
Can I make one with my cat or my dog?
Yes, and the pet versions are among the biggest Raindance AI posts. Upload one photo of each animal with the whole head in frame. The seated role can have its back to camera, so a photo from behind or from the side is fine for that one.
Where is the pier in the Raindance video?
There is no address to go to: in a Raindance AI version the pier is generated, not filmed. The trend copies the music video’s framing — weathered boards, calm water, low sun, a shoreline in the distance — which is why every clip looks like the same place without being one.
Is this the CapCut template?
No. The CapCut template drops two faces onto one fixed 28-second clip, so every video comes out with the same couple, the same light and the same shots. Here you pick which of the sixteen Raindance AI versions to recast, so the pier, the outfits, the framing and the length are the clip’s own, and you can pick a different one next time.
What is the best prompt for it?
The one that names both roles and then gets out of the way: “@Image1 is the person sitting at the end of the pier, @Image2 is the person who walks up singing; keep every shot, cut and camera move from the video, and keep each face and outfit exactly as in the photo.” The full prompts are at the bottom of this page.
How long is a Raindance AI video?
A Raindance AI video is as long as the clip you pick, up to 15 seconds per render. The trend’s full sequence runs about 28 seconds, so most people render the section they want rather than the whole thing — the pier entrance plus the close-ups is the part that reads as the trend.
What is the “no AI needed” version?
A real-life recreation: two friends film themselves on an actual pier, one waiting and one walking up, and post it captioned “No AI needed”. It went to 2.4 million plays and it is a good reminder that the trend is a piece of staging people recognised long before the model could render it.
Can it be a couple, or does it have to be friends?
Either, and neither is more correct. The scene is romantic because the music video is, but the funniest posts pair people who are not — teammates, rivals, cartoon characters. The only rule is that one of the two sits down and the other does the singing.
What is the Raindance AI prompt?
The you and your partner prompt is in the AI Prompts section below. It starts: "Image 1 is the person who waits, Image 2 is the person who sings." Paste the rest into any AI video tool that accepts your photos.

Raindance AI Prompts
The prompt that swaps the two people in a real Raindance AI clip, then four text prompts for the open generator. Each one spells out the pier, the light and the order of shots, so they also work in any image-to-video model that takes your photos as Image 1 and Image 2.
You and your partner
Image 1 is the person who waits, Image 2 is the person who sings. A cinematic music video shot on a weathered wooden pier over calm blue water at golden hour: warm low sun behind them, soft haze over the water, a distant shoreline, gentle ripples, 35mm lens, shallow depth of field, natural skin texture. No text, no captions, no logos, no watermark. One person sits at the far end of the pier, half turned away; the other walks up the boards toward them, singing, one hand on the chest and then reaching out; a close-up of the singer mouthing the words into the lens with the sun behind them; the two of them sitting shoulder to shoulder on the sand below the pier, leaning in; a wide shot of the empty pier with the pair small at the end of it; then both lie back on the sand and look up. Keep the face, hair, skin tone and build of each person exactly as in their photo, and keep the clothes they are wearing in it.
