How do I make a Thanksgiving Dance video?

One fixed shot, one silly routine, on purpose

• Open the template page. Add a sharp photo of an adult, whole body or down to the thighs, facing the lens. Want a pair? Add a second adult; skip it and you dance alone. JPG, PNG or WebP, 10 MB per file at most.
• Choose the style (Real person by default), the place (Sunny open space by default) and the outfit (Your own clothes by default). None changes the price.
• Format. The clip is a vertical 9:16 video, sized for phone feeds such as TikTok, Reels and Shorts.
• Agree and sign in. Accept the photo consent and log in with Google. The preview only comes with a pack, so buy one if your balance is empty.
• Watch the preview. It cannot be saved: 5 seconds at 480p, stamped PREVIEW. Check that each face matches its photo, both pairs of arms swing together and the dancers climb back up out of the squat.
• Render for 1 credit and the 5-second 720p MP4 arrives with no watermark, kept in My videos. Lay your own sound over it in TikTok.

The steps, the squat, the flicks, the finish

The steps (0 to 2 seconds), the squat (2 to 3), the hand flicks (3 to 4) and the finish (4 to 5).

The toughest moment for the AI is the dip. The body folds, the hips swing, and the face must still be yours; with two dancers they also must not melt into each other. A slightly long arm, a flickering hand or a face that jumps for one frame after the squat comes with this kind of clip, so do not read it as a fault. Enjoy it as a short, goofy clip.

Where it comes from

Your MP4 waits in My videos, where you can also copy a share link. Our video follows the middle of the TikTok from 6 November 2026, from the steps to the finish. For music, the sound guide walks through adding your own track.
