How to do the RainDance AI trend for free
Updated October 7, 2026
You can do the RainDance AI trend for free with a CapCut RainDance template, by filming it yourself, or with the free 2-second preview that every new RainDance AI account gets. No free option makes the full 28-second video with both of you in all 11 shots of the trend; on RainDance AI that full video is from $6.99, and the preview downloads as a clean MP4 with no watermark.
Every free way to do the RainDance AI trend, compared
| Option | Cost | What you get |
|---|---|---|
| CapCut RainDance template | Free | Your own clips or photos cut to the beat of the trend. You are not put into the trend's scenes. |
| Filming it yourself | Free | The real scenes, if you have a dock or beach at sunset, two people, someone to film and time to edit. |
| AI video apps with free credits | Free credits for new accounts on some apps | Usually one 8-15-second clip made from photos and a text prompt; the AI invents the shot instead of following the trend. |
| RainDance AI free preview | Free for new accounts | A 2-second shot of the two of you on the beach, 480p, no watermark. The full 28-second video with all 11 shots is from $6.99. |
