How do I make a Teach Me How To Dougie video?

Putting yourself in the Dougie

• Open the template page. Use one sharp photo of an adult or a pet, the whole body or three quarters of it, looking at the camera. JPG, PNG or WebP, up to 10 MB.
• Pick the scene (Woodland path by default), the see-through copy (None by default) and the outfit (Casual by default). None of them 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.
• Check the preview. It is watch-only, 5 seconds at 480p, with a PREVIEW badge. Look for your face and body staying the same through the sways and sweeps.
• Render: 1 credit gives the 8-second 720p MP4 with no watermark, saved in My videos. Add your sound in TikTok.

Warm-up bounce, hand sweeps, final smile

The warm-up bounce (0 to 2 seconds), the hand sweeps (2 to 6) and the final smile (6 to 8).

The hardest part for the AI is the hands and the knees together: your hand sweeps past your head while your body bounces and leans, so a small difference in the fingers is normal, not a failed render. Treat it as a short dance to watch.
