24K Magic AI is for people joining the October 2026 cruise ship dance trend: it makes a 13-second 16:9 video from one adult photo, with the trend sound included. The 5 signup credits do not cover one video. Prices start at 26 credits (about $0.72) on Seedance 2.0 Mini 480p and reach 751 credits on Seedance 2.5 1080p; the $9.90 pack covers 6 basic videos. Accounts without a purchase download with a moving TryH3 mark.
How to make a 24K Magic AI video
24K Magic AI needs one clear photo of one adult; the routine, the ship scenes, the 16:9 frame and the sound are built in, so there is no prompt to write. Upload the photo, pick a model and resolution, and the credit total updates before you generate. A video usually takes a few minutes and stays in your history, so you can leave the page and download the MP4 later.
- Upload one photoUse a clear, front-facing photo of one adult with the face and outfit visible. That person becomes the dancer.
- Pick a model and resolutionSeedance 2.0 Mini at 480p is the cheapest; Seedance 2.5 goes up to 1080p. The credit total updates before you generate; length stays at 13 seconds.
- Generate and downloadConfirm permission and generate while signed in with enough credits. When the video is ready, preview it and download the MP4.
24K Magic AI dance example
This 13-second example runs the same cruise ship routine and the same five shots this template uses: the collar tug in a lounge close-up, quick footwork by the glass doors, a low shot of the shoes, squats and kicks by the deck stairs, then the last kick by the ship's funnels. The dancer's iridescent jacket and silver boots stay through every shot; faces, outfits and hands vary between generations.
Silver boots and pearl jacket
13 seconds · A dancer in an iridescent puffer jacket and silver platform boots goes from the lounge close-up to the last kick by the ship's funnels.
What is the 24K Magic AI dance?
The 24K Magic AI dance is an October 2026 TikTok trend in which a person grins, tugs their collar, then kicks and squats across a sunny cruise ship deck to Bruno Mars's 24K Magic. It is widely described as a live-action AI remake of Dracula's deck dance in Hotel Transylvania 3: Summer Vacation (2018); a 30-second AI clip posted on 12 October 2026 made it popular. This page makes the 13-second solo dance; the 30-second version with a friend in the hallway and a flare gun ending is not offered.
Is the Bruno Mars 24K Magic AI video his song?
Yes, the Bruno Mars 24K Magic AI trend is set to 24K Magic, his 2016 single and the title track of his third album. Your video keeps the same sound as the trend's original TikTok clip, laid under the generated picture so the beat lines up with the cuts. The video shows your photo, not Bruno Mars. TryH3 is not affiliated with Bruno Mars, his label or the Hotel Transylvania film studio.
Is 24K Magic AI an AI song cover?
No, 24K Magic AI on this page makes a dance video, not an AI cover of the song. You upload a photo and get the cruise ship dance with the clip's existing sound; nothing is sung, re-voiced or remixed for you. If you were looking for an AI voice singing 24K Magic, a voice tool fits better; if you want yourself dancing in the trend, this generator does that.
24K Magic AI pricing and credits
A 13-second 24K Magic AI video costs 26 credits on Seedance 2.0 Mini at 480p, 56 at 720p, and up to 751 credits on Seedance 2.5 at 1080p. At the Studio monthly credit rate, the cheapest option is about $0.72. The smallest credit pack that covers a video is $9.90 for 180 credits, enough for 6 basic videos; each generation spends your balance and does not charge the pack price again.
| Free preview and signup credits | The 5 signup credits do not cover one video. |
|---|---|
| Smallest pack that covers a video | $9.90 buys 180 credits, enough for 6 basic 13-second videos. Higher resolutions need more credits; check the table before buying. |
| Trial pack | The $5.00 trial pack has 24 credits, 2 short of the cheapest video, so it does not cover this template by itself. |
| Watermark and download | Previews are free to watch. Accounts without a purchase download with a moving TryH3 mark; a credit-pack or plan purchase unlocks clean downloads. |

View credit packsWhat 24K Magic AI can't do
24K Magic AI makes one fixed 13-second solo routine in 16:9: it cannot add a friend, make the 30-second version with the hallway and flare gun, change the ship or output a vertical video. The prompt asks the model to keep your face through turns and the low shoe shot, but faces can drift in distant or side views and hands, feet and clothes can distort; results vary by model and photo. Use a clear, front-facing photo of one adult without sunglasses and watch the whole clip before posting.
24K Magic AI FAQ
24K Magic AI questions below cover what people check before generating: whether a video can be made for free, whether you need an app or an account, whose photo you may upload, where you can post the result, and what happens to your credits if a video fails.
Can I make a 24K Magic AI video for free?
No, a 24K Magic AI video is not free here. The current signup allowance does not cover one: a video needs at least 26 credits, and the smallest pack that covers it is $9.90. Watching the examples is free.
Do I need an app or an account?
No app is needed: 24K Magic AI runs in a phone or desktop browser and you download the MP4 when it is ready. You do need to sign in to generate, spend credits and find your videos later.
Whose photo can I upload?
Use a photo of yourself or of an adult who has agreed to it. Do not upload children, public figures or anyone you do not have permission to use, and do not use the result to impersonate or mock someone.
Can I post it or use it in ads?
You can post the MP4 to TikTok, Reels or Shorts; label it as AI-generated where the platform asks. The sound comes from the trend clip and the song's rights stay with their owners, so do not use the video in ads or paid promotions.
What happens if generation fails?
If the video model fails or refuses the task, the reserved credits go back to your balance. If the trend sound still cannot be added to the finished video after automatic retries, the task fails and its credits are returned too. If a job stays processing or a download does not work, keep the job and contact support.
