One gesture beats a full routine

Five seconds is short. A full dance routine will turn into a blur. Pick one beat: a spin, a wave, a hop, or a pose. Write it as a beginning, a middle, and an end. For example: “starts with arms crossed, spins once, ends with a peace sign.”

If you want a longer routine, generate two or three clips and cut them together in an editor. Each clip stays clean, and you control the rhythm.

Keep the camera still

Camera motion and body motion compete. For an emote, lock the camera and let the character move. If you want a camera move, make it very small: a slow push-in or a gentle orbit. Do not ask for a whip pan, a zoom, and a spin in the same shot.

Image checklist

  • Full body visible, including hands and feet.
  • Simple background with no text.
  • Arms slightly away from the body so the model can separate them.
  • Even lighting and a clear face.

Loops and exports

For a loop, ask the character to return to the starting pose. A clip that ends where it began can repeat without a jump. Export the video, then trim the first and last frame in your editor if the loop still pops.

The demo clip has no audio. Add a beat in your editor and cut the motion to the music. Keep the character centered so a vertical crop still works for short-form video.

Respect the original

Use your own character or an image you have permission to animate. Do not upload a screenshot of someone else's creation and present the result as your own.

Prompt recipes to try

Hero landing

The character drops in, lands in a crouch, then rises with a confident nod. Camera locked, loopable ending.

Happy spin

A quick spin with arms out, ending in a cheerful wave. Keep the costume and face consistent.

Idle hype

A subtle bounce with small fist pumps, then a wink at the camera. Stable framing.

Frequently asked questions

Can I upload a screenshot?

Only if you have the right to use it. Original fan art is the safest input.

Does the clip have music?

No. Add music in your editor after downloading.

How do I make a loop?

Ask the character to return to the starting pose and trim the first and last frame if needed.

Why do the hands look wrong?

Hands are hard for video models. Keep them away from the face and choose a simpler gesture.

Can I generate a longer dance?

The demo targets five seconds. Generate several clips and edit them together for a longer routine.
