About the Thriller Dance AI Video
Thriller Dance AI Video puts you, or your whole group, at the front of a synchronized Thriller-style dance. The reference clip is a character-recast take on the choreography: a lead dancer in a red jacket and red trousers moves in front of a troupe in black on a foggy night-time street, every arm swing, shoulder shrug and bent-knee step in sync.
Upload one photo. If it shows one person, they take over the lead dancer and the troupe stays as it is. If it shows a group, the person in the center becomes the lead and the others take the places of the dancers beside it, matched by where they stand in the photo. Faces, hair and outfits come from your photo; the choreography, street, fog, lighting, camera and timing come from the reference. The video is about 10 seconds, vertical 9:16, at 480p or 720p, with the source audio requested.
How to make a Thriller dance AI video
- Upload one photo. Use a photo of one person, or of a small group standing side by side with faces visible. JPG, PNG or WEBP, up to 10 MB.
- Choose 480p or 720p. 480p is the default and costs less; 720p is sharper. Length and framing are fixed: about 10 seconds, vertical 9:16.
- Generate. The AI maps the people in your photo onto the lead and supporting dancers and transfers the synchronized choreography.
- Check and download. Check faces, hands and feet in the result, then download the MP4 from your Library.
What is the Thriller dance trend?
It is one of the best-known group dances: a lead dancer and a troupe moving in lockstep with stiff, zombie-like arm swings, shoulder and head moves, bent-knee steps and sharp turns. This template uses a character-recast version of that choreography set on a misty city street at night, and lets your own characters take part.
One person or a group: who goes where
- One person in the photo: they replace only the lead dancer in the red outfit, at the front. All the dancers behind stay unchanged.
- A group in the photo: the person in the center becomes the lead, and the others are mapped to the supporting dancers to the left and right by their position in the photo. Each assignment is meant to stay the same for the whole video.
- More dancers than people: dancers without a match keep their original appearance. No one is duplicated.
What comes from your photo and what from the reference
- From your photo: each replaced person's face, hairstyle, hair color, skin tone, body proportions and outfit. Shaved or bald heads stay that way.
- From the reference: the choreography, rhythm and timing, the dancer formation, the camera, the shot transitions, the foggy night-time street, the lighting and the audio.
Length, format and resolution
The video follows the full reference clip: about 10 seconds, vertical 9:16, with the source audio requested. There is no length, aspect-ratio or prompt setting; you only choose 480p or 720p.
Photo tips for a better result
- One person: a clear, well-lit photo, ideally full body, so the outfit and legs are visible.
- A group: everyone side by side, facing the camera, not overlapping, with the main person in the center.
- Keep it small: two to five people map more reliably than a crowd.
- Avoid sunglasses, hats covering the face, heavy filters and strong backlight.
What to expect from groups and fast moves
This is a fast, synchronized dance, and results are not guaranteed to be exact. The more people in your photo, and the smaller their faces, the more likely identities drift or move to the wrong dancer. Quick arm swings and footwork can blur hands and feet or put a dancer slightly out of sync. A single, sharp, well-lit person gives the most consistent result.

Frequently asked questions
How many photos can I upload?
Exactly one: JPG, PNG or WEBP, up to 10 MB. It can show one person or a group.
What happens if my photo shows one person?
That person replaces only the lead dancer in the red outfit. The dancers behind keep their original look.
How does a group photo work?
The person in the center becomes the lead, and the others replace the supporting dancers to the left and right according to where they stand in the photo. Dancers without a match stay as they are.
Will we keep our own outfits?
Yes. Each replaced person keeps the face, hair, skin tone, body proportions and outfit from your photo. The lead's red outfit is replaced by what the lead person wears in the photo.
How long is the video?
About 10 seconds, vertical 9:16, following the full reference clip. The length and format are fixed.
Does it have sound?
The source audio is requested with the video.
How many credits does it cost?
2,974 credits at 480p or 6,368 credits at 720p. The clip is billed as 11 input seconds, whatever the number of people in the photo.
Will every face and move be exact?
Not always. Large groups, small faces and fast movement can reduce identity consistency and synchronization, and hands and feet can blur in quick moves. Fewer people and a sharp photo help.
Is the preview the original music video?
No. It is a character-recast motion reference supplied for this template, and not a personalized generated result.
