Raindance Maker is an AI video generator that turns two separate photos into a Raindance AI video set on a seaside pier. You upload one photo for each of the template's two roles, and the tool recasts the viral pier performance with those people. Photo 1 replaces the person seated at the start, while Photo 2 replaces the person who walks in and takes the close-ups. The template supplies the scene, camera moves and performance, so no filming or prompt writing is needed. You choose the duration, the model and the resolution, check the exact credit cost, and then download a finished 4:3 MP4 that includes the reference soundtrack.
The product addresses a specific problem: the Raindance AI trend places two people into a sunny seaside pier performance set to "Raindance" by Dave featuring Tems, but recreating that scene normally requires filming yourself or writing prompts for a general video model. According to the site, the pier clips are fan-made AI videos, not footage from the official music video, and "Raindance" itself is not an AI song. Raindance Maker uses a prepared two-person reference, so you can make your version from separate photos without filming the scene. The site also notes it is an independent video tool with no affiliation to the artists or the creators of the reference clip.
The core workflow is built around two clearly defined roles. Photo 1 replaces the person seated at the beginning of the clip, and Photo 2 replaces the person who walks in and appears in most of the close-ups. Those roles stay tied to the photos when the camera cuts or the performers change position. The generator labels each role beside the preview and offers a swap control if you want to exchange the photos. You upload one clear person per image in JPG, PNG or WebP format, up to 20 MB each, with a shorter edge of at least 300 px and an image ratio between 0.4 and 2.5. The site recommends a photo with visible eyes, hair and facial detail for the close-up role, and a waist-up or full-body photo to give more information about clothing and proportions, while avoiding faces hidden by hands, dark sunglasses or heavy filters.
Settings give you control over length, model and resolution. Available durations are 5, 10, 15 or 30 seconds, with 30 seconds limited to Seedance 2.5. Two models are offered: Seedance 2.5, described as best quality, which supports 480p (640 × 480), 720p (960 × 720) and 1080p (1440 × 1080) and up to 30 seconds; and MiniMax H3, which renders 720p and up to 15 seconds for fewer credits. The default is Seedance 2.5 at 10 seconds and 720p. The generator updates the credit total before you submit, and uploading a photo or changing a setting does not start a paid generation. The 30-second template holds the reference's final frame for about two seconds, and every video is one generation with nothing stitched together.
Sound is handled automatically. The finished video includes the soundtrack from the selected reference clip, so you do not need to find an audio file or line it up in an editor. The site is explicit that the download includes the soundtrack from the selected template reference and does not generate a new song or clone your voice. Mouth movement can still differ from the reference, and faces, hair, hands, clothing and lip sync can vary, especially across cuts, so the site advises listening to the result and reviewing both people through the whole clip before sharing.
Beyond the pier template, the site mentions more trend templates on the same site, including Hotel Lobby, Alors on Danse, Smalltown Boy and APT. Raindance Maker also publishes supporting guides covering the Raindance AI trend, a step-by-step how-to with photo tips, models, posting to TikTok and troubleshooting, a page on whether Raindance AI is free, and an explainer on the Raindance song by Dave and Tems. Example remakes shown on the page include Shrek & Lord Farquaad, Gru & Vector, and Ronald McDonald & Colonel Sanders, each running 29 seconds with the original soundtrack, while the generator itself offers 5, 10, 15 or 30 seconds.
In terms of approach, Raindance Maker relies on a prepared reference rather than free-form prompting. The site states that the template already contains the role instructions and reference performance, so users choose two photos, review the settings and generate. A reference clip supplies the scene, camera moves and soundtrack for the template; the page preview shows the first 10 seconds, and the generator can preview your selected duration. Your two photos replace its performers, and the site notes the preview is not a result made from your photos. Exact likeness is not guaranteed, and the generator updates the credit total before submission so costs are visible ahead of time.
Benefits described on the site center on speed and simplicity: the template supplies the scene and performance, so no filming or prompt writing is needed, and the soundtrack is included so there is no separate audio step. The site emphasizes seeing credits before generating, with the total depending on duration, model and resolution. If a generation task fails, its charged credits are returned. Free accounts receive a moving raindancemaker.com watermark, and any purchase unlocks the saved clean original, including videos you have already made. Uploaded photos are used to make your video and are not added to the public examples on the page, and generation history and downloads require an account.
Use cases described include a duet with your partner: using separate photos to put both of you into the same seaside scene, even if the photos were taken in different places. Another is a clip for your best friend, where you choose who gets the seated role and who gets the close-ups and then make a video to send to each other. The site also describes a new take on the same template by trying a different pair of authorized photos while keeping the reference performance, with the advice to review each take rather than assuming the same model will reproduce every detail. It further suggests shooting settings and framing similar to a vertical post and warns to avoid cropping out a performer when preparing a vertical post.
Pricing uses site credits shared with the other tools on the site, and the total is shown before generation. A 5-second video starts at 49 credits. For a 10-second video, Seedance 2.5 costs 97 credits at 480p, 219 credits at 720p and 388 credits at 1080p; MiniMax H3 costs 97 credits at 720p. Three plans are listed: Starter at $9/mo with 240 credits per month (about 2 ten-second MiniMax H3 720p videos) for trying the trend; Pro at $29/mo with 780 credits per month (about 8 such videos) for regular creators, adding all lengths up to 15 seconds and priority support; and Enterprise at $99/mo with 2,650 credits per month (about 27 such videos) for agencies and pages, including dedicated support and custom integrations. All plans include watermark-free videos, including ones already made, and refunded failed videos. Eligible new accounts currently receive 5 credits, which may not cover a video in every model, and signup credits expire after 7 days. The tool runs in the browser, including on a phone, with no separate editing app required.
In summary, Raindance Maker packages the viral Raindance AI pier trend into a guided two-photo workflow: assign the seated and close-up roles, pick duration, model and resolution, review the credit cost, and download a 4:3 MP4 with the reference soundtrack. Its primary value is letting people join the trend from photos they already have, without filming the scene or writing prompts.
