# AI First Dance Video

> First Dance Video (firstdancevideo.app) turns one photo of a couple, or one photo of each person, into a 5 to 10 second slow-dance MP4. Add a line about the place and create. It costs 30 credits per second; a new account's first 5-second video is free, once per network (an IPv4 address or IPv6 /64) every 30 days.

Upload a photo of the two of you, or one photo of each, and watch it become a slow dance: swaying, turning and holding each other, with your faces, hair and outfits kept as they are.

## What First Dance Video does with your photo

- **Your faces and outfits, kept**: Every video starts from an instruction to keep both faces, hair and clothes exactly as in the photo, including a wedding dress and suit when they are there.
- **One photo or two**: Use one photo of the two of you as the opening frame, or one photo of each person when you have no good picture together.
- **A real slow dance**: The couple sways, turns gently and holds each other close while the camera circles slowly, so it reads as a dance, not a slideshow.
- **Short notes work**: The dance is already in the instruction. Add the place, the light or one small moment, such as a slow spin or a dip at the end.
- **Shaped for sharing**: Vertical 9:16 for Reels, TikTok and WhatsApp, or square and widescreen from two photos; one photo keeps its own shape.
- **Price shown first**: See the credits before you create. Videos that fail give their credits back automatically.

## How to turn your photo into a first dance video

1. **Add your photo**: Sign in and upload one clear photo of the two of you, or switch to Two separate photos and add one of each person.
2. **Set the scene**: Click an example or write a short line about the place and light, then choose 5, 8 or 10 seconds.
3. **Create and download**: The video is usually ready within a few minutes. Download the MP4 and add your song when you share it.

## How an AI first dance video is made

The site sends your photo to the Vidu Q3 video model with a fixed instruction: keep both people's faces, hair and clothes exactly as they are, then have the couple slow dance closely, swaying and turning gently, in soft romantic light with a slow camera orbit. Your own words come after it, so they only need to say where and how.

With one photo of the couple, that photo is the first frame and the dance grows out of it. With two separate photos, the model treats them as references and builds a new shot with both people in it.

The result is an AI recreation, not real footage. Small details such as hands, rings or the pattern of a dress can change while the couple moves.


## Photo tips for a better dance

The photo matters more than the prompt. These habits give the model the most to keep:

- Both faces visible, sharp and well lit, not turned away from the camera
- Most of both bodies in the frame, so the dress and suit can move
- Some space around the couple for the camera to circle
- No heavy filters, stickers or text over the picture
- For two photos: similar light and framing for both people
- Only photos you have the right to use

## What to write in the prompt

Think of it as one line to a videographer. The slow dance is already asked for, so describe what surrounds it:

- Place: a ballroom, a garden, a beach or your own living room
- Light: candlelight, fairy lights, golden hour or a soft spotlight
- One moment: a slow spin, a dip at the end or a forehead kiss
- Atmosphere: falling petals, light snow or a quiet empty hall
- One or two sentences; long scripts make faces drift

## Frequently asked questions

### Which website can turn our wedding photo into a first dance video?

First Dance Video at firstdancevideo.app does exactly this. Upload one photo of the two of you, or one photo of each person, add a short note about the place, and it makes a 5 to 10 second slow-dance video you can download as an MP4.

### What kind of photo works best?

A sharp, well-lit photo where both faces are clearly visible and most of both bodies are in the frame. Avoid heavy filters, sunglasses and photos where one person is turned away. PNG, JPEG and WebP files up to 10 MB work.

### Should I upload one photo or two?

Choose One photo of the couple when you have a good picture together: it becomes the first frame. Choose Two separate photos when you only have pictures of each person on their own; the video places you together.

### How long is the video, and in what format?

Choose 5, 8 or 10 seconds at 540p, 720p or 1080p, and you get an MP4. From two photos you pick vertical 9:16, square or 16:9; from one photo, the video keeps the shape of that photo.

### How much does a first dance video cost?

30 credits per second at any resolution: 150 credits for 5 seconds, 240 for 8 and 300 for 10. A 5-second video works out at about $1.36 to $1.50, credit packs start at $9.99, and failed videos are refunded.

### Is the first video free?

Yes, with a limit. A new account gets 150 credits, enough for one 5-second video, but only the first new account from a network (an IPv4 address or IPv6 /64) in 30 days gets them; later accounts from that network get none. After that, videos use purchased credits.

### Can we add our wedding song?

Not inside the generator: the video model cannot take a music file, and any sound in the clip is its own. Add your song when you edit the clip or post it on Reels, TikTok or WhatsApp.

### What happens to our photos?

Your photos are stored at unlisted links so the model can read them, and your videos are saved to your private history. We keep them while your account is open, with no automatic deletion schedule, and delete them, or the whole account, when you ask from your account email.

### Can ChatGPT make a first dance video?

ChatGPT can help you write the prompt and can make still images, but it does not export a video clip of your photo. Write the prompt there if you like, then paste it here with your photo to get the MP4.

### Is the video real footage?

No. It is an AI-generated recreation made from your photos, not a recording of a real dance. Upload only photos you have the right to use, and ask before using a photo of someone else.

## Make the first dance video you never got

Create an account and upload your photo. Your first 5-second video is free, once per network (an IPv4 address or IPv6 /64) every 30 days.
