How do I make the Window Dance AI video from just one photo without recording myself dancing?

Choose a well-lit portrait with one visible face. An upper-body photo gives the model more information about your outline and clothes than a tight crop. You can take it in daylight, away from any window. The template supplies the apartment, the speaker, the dance timing and the camera move. Once your upload is ready, choose a resolution and check the credit total. After the render finishes, play past the last beat and download the MP4 from the workspace. The finished video also appears in your creations if you come back later.

1. 01
   Choose one portrait

   Upload a clear photo of yourself or someone who agreed to appear. Keep the face and shoulders in view.

2. 02
   Set the resolution

   Choose 480p or 720p and check the credit total before generating. The frame stays vertical and the duration stays 12 seconds.

3. 03
   Play the ending and save

   Check the glance, the hand reaching sideways and the curtain crossing the pane. Download the finished MP4 with its soundtrack.

How much does it cost to generate one Window Dance AI video?

A 12-second Window Dance costs 24 credits at 480p or 52 credits at 720p. The camera move, soundtrack and length are the same at both sizes. The one-time $5 Trial includes 24 credits, so it buys one standard render. You can play all three examples and copy the prompt for free. Eligible accounts receive 5 signup credits, which do not cover either size. If a project fails, the reserved credits are returned. A finished clip counts as a render even if you would prefer a different expression or curtain movement.

Is the original CapCut Window Dance template better than the AI websites that make the same trend from a photo?

If you want the precise edit you saw in the October 22 post, open the attached CapCut template and play its preview before choosing your photo. That route starts with the editor’s own cut. A browser generator is useful when the template link opens another page or when you want the scene rebuilt around your portrait. The dance, reflection and curtain edge can shift between renders. The table compares the public terms for this effect. Each service sets its own credit value, so compare what one finished video costs on that service.

Public template terms checked October 31, 2026. Credits are specific to each service.

How can I keep my face consistent throughout the entire video?

The hardest moment is the turn towards the curtain. A face that looked clear through the glass can change as a hand crosses it or the dancer turns sideways. Start with a sharp, front-facing photo with both eyes visible. Avoid sunglasses, hats over the brow, strong shadows and group shots. Check the profile at the reach as well as the face in the middle of the dance. A higher resolution gives you more pixels, but it cannot recover hidden features, correct a misplaced hand or guarantee the curtain closes completely. The template has one subject and one camera path.

What's the song playing in the Window Dance trend? Is everyone using the same sound?

The October 22 post credits the audio as “original sound” under @dancevault14. That label identifies the upload, but does not establish a commercial song title or a single recording used by every version. Searches for the window dance song also turn up unrelated tracks with “window” in the title. On this page you can hear the exact template soundtrack by unmuting a preview. The generator restores that fixed track to the finished video. If you want a different sound when posting, mute the MP4 in your editor and line up your replacement with the moment the dancer notices the camera.

Can you write me a copy-paste AI prompt that recreates the Window Dance trend?

The prompt below is the one this template sends with your portrait and its built-in motion guide. The image slot supplies the dancer’s appearance. The video slot supplies the exterior viewpoint, the move towards the glass and the timing of the surprised glance. If you use the text in another editor, attach your own reference files in those same roles. Text alone can describe the scene, but it leaves the camera speed and the last reach up to that editor. The audio is restored after generation here, so the prompt asks for a silent render.

Create a full-colour 12-second vertical video, in one continuous shot from across the street at night. @Image1 is the only source of the dancer’s identity and outfit. @Video1 is a grayscale depth guide for camera travel, timing and body motion. Rebuild the apartment in natural colour. Keep the camera outside the glass throughout.

0–2 seconds: face a dark brick apartment block. Push steadily towards the one warm, lit window. Keep its frame and sill in view. There is one dancer in the room and a small portable speaker on the sill.

2–9 seconds: follow the guide’s side-to-side bounce, shoulders and small hand gestures beside the speaker. Keep the same face, build and clothing from the uploaded portrait as the window fills the frame. Never recast the subject after a turn. For a pet photo, preserve its muzzle, paws, coat and markings and adapt the bounce to its own anatomy.

9–11 seconds: the subject spots the camera, pauses mid-step and looks straight through the glass. Leave a short beat between noticing the lens and reaching for the curtain. Keep the speaker stationary.

11–12 seconds: the subject reaches sideways and draws the dark curtain across the lit pane. A pet may tug the fabric with its mouth. Hold the closing fabric through the final frame. Match the guide’s timing for the soundtrack that will be restored afterwards. Render silent video without text, logos, a cutaway or another subject.

Why does my Window Dance AI video end without the person actually closing the curtains?

The ending needs three separate moments: a glance towards the camera, a reach to the side and enough time for the fabric to cover the glass. When the glance happens late, the model can run out of frames halfway through the pull. Compare the ending of a preview with your own clip at normal speed. If the curtain already crosses the pane, a small trim may make the final beat clearer. If the reach is missing altogether, shortening the clip cannot restore it. Use a portrait with the shoulders visible for a fresh attempt.
