Bad Times AI Template Controls

Bad Times AI: Choose among five dance templates. Your photo supplies the people or pets; the template supplies moves and music.

What does a Bad Times AI template supply?

A selected template supplies the requested choreography, gesture timing and performance duration. The website’s server looks up that template rather than trusting a client-supplied reference URL or price. The uploaded photo supplies the requested identities and cast. This separation is why one photo can be used with different templates without asking the user to write a motion prompt.

Can I enter a custom prompt?

The current public creation flow has no free-form prompt field. To change movement, select a different template; to change people or their pictured appearance, upload a different authorized photo. The request asks for all photographed people to dance together rather than copying the source performers. Internal prompts can evolve as the product is tested, but that does not imply a public custom-prompt feature.

What stays uncertain?

A reference cannot guarantee frame-for-frame motion, exact faces, perfect hands or identical camera movement. AI output can vary. Play the template to understand its intended rhythm and review the resulting MP4 before sharing. The selected template’s original soundtrack is added to the AI-generated visuals automatically. Adding a separate soundtrack later does not guarantee precise lip-sync to that track.

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.
