Bad Times AI Photo Guide

Bad Times AI: Create a photo dance online: select a template, upload one photo and download your portrait MP4 with original music.

Written and maintained by Bad Times AI · Updated

How do I start a Bad Times AI video?

Start by playing a reference clip from the five-template collection. Look at the movement you want to recreate rather than choosing only by the thumbnail. The template determines the choreography and requested duration. Upload one portrait for a solo performer, or one group photograph when you want everyone in the same image to dance together. You do not need two separate uploads or a photo assigned to a keyboard-player role.

What should I check before payment?

Check that the selected template name, duration and amount agree. Guest packs: 1 video $7.99, 3 videos $19.90, or 8 videos $49.90. Signed-in credit packs: 50 credits $9.90, 105 credits $19.90, or 160 credits $29.90. Each 480p video uses 20 credits. One-time payment; purchased credits never expire. Guest checkout does not require an account. Upload a photo you have the right to use and confirm the processing authorization. The website shows the final one-time amount before opening payment, without a subscription; signed-in credit packs offer a lower equivalent cost per video.

How do I finish and save?

After payment confirmation, return on the same device so the browser can recover the saved photo and template. Keep the private result link to follow progress and download the completed MP4. A notification email is optional and depends on the configured mail service. Inspect the complete video with sound before sharing, and save a local copy because provider download links may expire.

Bad Times AI Video Generator · What should I know before creating?

How is the price calculated?

Guest packs: 1 video $7.99, 3 videos $19.90, or 8 videos $49.90. Signed-in credit packs: 50 credits $9.90, 105 credits $19.90, or 160 credits $29.90. Each 480p video uses 20 credits. One-time payment; purchased credits never expire.

What photos should I upload?

Upload one portrait or group photo. A single person dances solo; all people in a group photo dance together. The template supplies the moves, while your photo supplies the cast. AI identities and movements may vary; review the completed video.

What will I receive?

Choose from five 13.09–15-second templates. Upload one portrait or group photo to request a 14–15-second 480p portrait MP4. Each video uses 20 credits. AI appearance and movement may vary; the selected template’s original soundtrack is added automatically.

Are the previews generated results?

The gallery shows three actual generated videos with their original template soundtracks. The template selector shows the original choreography references. Results vary with the uploaded photo.

What if generation fails?

Confirmed generation failures restore your ability to retry. This is separate from a cash refund.

Which photos can I upload to this tool?

Upload one JPG, PNG or WebP photo up to 10 MB. Portraits and group photos are supported. Keep every face clear and unobstructed. The people in your photo determine the requested cast, while the chosen template supplies movement.

Is this tool free to generate?

The current free-generation allowance is 0 videos. You can preview reference templates without payment. Generating a video is a one-time purchase, with the selected duration and amount shown before checkout. There is no automatic renewal.

How does this tool process photos and drafts?

When generation is submitted, the photo is sent to the configured AI provider. Your browser may save a photo and template draft for 24 hours after its last save; expired drafts are removed when next read. Keep private result links confidential.

Does this tool add a watermark?

The generation request specifies no added watermark, text or logos. This is an output requirement rather than a guarantee about an unverified result. Review the complete clip before sharing.
