How to make an elf dance video with your face
Last updated:
You need one clear photo per person, up to three people. The cabin, the costumes, the dance and the music are already in the template; there is nothing to film or edit.
1. Decide who is in the middle
Photo 1 becomes the middle elf, the one closest to the camera in the final pose. Photo 2 is the elf on the left and photo 3 the elf on the right. Leave out photos 2 and 3 and those elves stay as they are.
Roles go by upload order, not by gender, so you can put anyone in any spot. To swap two people, upload them in the other order.
2. Use clear, front-facing photos
One person per photo, face toward the camera, even light, no sunglasses. A chest-up selfie is enough; the elf costume and the body come from the template.
Only upload yourself or adults who agreed. Photos of children, celebrities and public figures are not allowed.
3. Pick 7 or 15 seconds
7 seconds covers the kicks, the spin and the hands-up wave, for 5 credits, so the smallest pack is enough. 15 seconds adds claps, a jump and a close-up ending with everyone pointing at the camera, for 15 credits.
Press Generate. A video usually takes 3 to 6 minutes, and you can close the page while it runs.
4. Download and send it
Download the MP4 from My videos. It is vertical 9:16 with the music already on it, ready for TikTok, Reels, Shorts, WhatsApp or a video Christmas card.
Watch it once before sending to check the faces, and mark it as AI-generated when you post. If a render fails, the credits go back automatically.
How much does an Elf Dance video cost?

No subscription. Credits never expire, and a failed render gives your credits back automatically.
Questions, answered
Do I need an app?
No. Everything runs in the browser on your phone or computer, and you download the finished MP4.
Can I add more than three people?
Not in this template. It has three elves, so up to three photos.
