How do I make a Catel Dance video?

Putting yourself in the dance

• Go to the template page. Add one sharp photo of an adult or a dog, head to knees, facing the camera. JPG, PNG or WebP, up to 10 MB.
• Choose the scene (Bedroom by default), the outfit (Sweatshirt by default) and the light (Sunny day by default). None changes the price.
• Video shape: the video is vertical 9:16, made for TikTok, Reels and Shorts.
• Consent and sign-in. Tick the photo-consent box and log in with Google. Previews arrive inside a pack, so take one if you have no credits.
• Look at the preview. It is watch-only, 5 seconds at 480p, marked PREVIEW. Check your face and the sleeves staying the same through the turn.
• Render: 1 credit gives the 8-second 720p MP4 with no watermark, saved in My videos. Add your sound in TikTok.

Bounce, sleeve swing, turn, hands on hips

The bounce (0 to 2 seconds), the sleeve swing (2 to 4), the turn (4 to 6) and the hands-on-hips finish (6 to 8).

The hardest part for the AI is the turn: the body goes round while the sleeves fly, so your face and the sleeves have to be redrawn from behind and back again. A small difference in a sleeve is normal, not a failed render. Treat it as a short dance to watch.

Where it comes from

Save the MP4 or copy a share link from My videos. Our video follows the whole 15-second TikTok by @elenabuzaru from 15 April 2026, sped up to 8 seconds. The sound guide shows how to add your own sound.
