The beats

The dance and the selfie today, the car exit soon

Every beat is its own clip, so you can pick a different character for each one, or give both to the same character. The pictures here are real swaps.

  1. Ember, a red panda in a mint hoodie, dances by the gas station pumps with both arms in the air

    Car exit

    Stepping out of the car. You cannot run this beat yet.

    In this beat the person looks into the camera up close, and a photo character can leave part of the original face in the frame. We are checking it with stylized characters first, and it opens once a result passes.

The price

375 credits for the dance and the selfie

Each beat is a separate swap on Kling O3 Video Edit Standard, our Pro quality. You see the total in the tool before you press the button, and you pay only for the beats you keep. A beat that fails is refunded. The car exit has no price yet because it cannot be run.

A free account comes with 40 free credits. Swapping a beat starts on a plan or a credit pack, so the free credits do not cover it.

Good to know

What works best, and what does not

  • Stylized characters replace the person completely

    Anime, 3D and mascot characters take over the whole figure, face included. Ember and Hana, shown above, are two of them.

  • We tested anime and mascot characters

    Ember and Hana are the two characters we ran on these beats. A photo character can work, but we have not tested one here, so check the result before you post it.

  • The clips come back without sound

    Add the trending sound inside Instagram or TikTok, or in your editor. The example above plays over an original track made for it.

Frequently asked questions

What is the gas station dance AI trend?

It is a road-trip video from 2024 that people keep remaking with AI. It has three beats: one friend dances by the fuel pumps, another swings the phone round for a selfie, and a third steps out of a car like an arrival on a red carpet. In late September 2026 people began putting their own character into each beat with AI tools. This page does the same for the dance and the selfie: you pick a character for each and Ziztu swaps it in. The car exit is coming soon.

How do I make a gas station dance AI video?

Press Make yours. The Gas station trend is already picked in the tool. Choose one character for both beats, or a different one for each, from our four characters or a photo of your own. Check the price in credits, press the button, and the clips come back to your files. Download them, cut them together in Ziztu Studio or your phone editor, and add the sound you like.

How much does the gas station AI trend cost?

The price shows before you run, in credits. The dance by the pumps is 225 credits and the selfie 150, so both beats are 375 credits. You can leave a beat out, and you pay only for the beats you keep. Each beat is billed per started second of its clip, and a beat that fails is refunded.

Is the gas station dance AI free?

Making an account is free and comes with 40 free credits, with no card. A swap of a whole beat starts on a plan or a credit pack, so the free credits do not cover it. The pre-rendered clips on this page are free to watch. They are real swaps, each one made with the engine named on this page.

What about the car exit beat?

It is coming soon, and you cannot run it yet. In that beat the person steps out of a car and looks into the camera up close, and when the new character is a photo, part of the original face can stay in the frame. We are checking it with stylized characters first, and it opens once a result passes that check.

Which characters work best?

Stylized ones: anime, 3D and mascot characters replace the person completely, down to the face. Hana, our anime character, and Ember, our red panda, are the two shown on this page, and they are the two we tested on these beats. A photo character can work on the dance and the selfie, but we have not tested one here, so look at the result before you post it.

Can I use my own photo or my own character?

Yes. Add a clear picture of your character or yourself. Real people only from photos you upload, with a tick that you have the right to use their likeness, and only adults. No public figures or celebrities, by name or by likeness. Anime, mascot and cartoon characters you made, or have the right to use, are fine. Every result has a report link.

Does the result come with music?

No. The clips come back without sound, so you can add the trending sound inside Instagram, TikTok or your editor. The example above plays over an original track we made for it.

How long does it take, and what is it made with?

The beats run at the same time, and a beat usually takes a few minutes. You can leave the page: the results are saved in your files. Every beat runs on Kling O3 Video Edit Standard, our Pro quality, which swaps in the character from the picture, outfit included, and keeps the camera, the moves and the timing of the beat. The clips are 4:3 and about 1,100 pixels wide.

Can I use the same character in both beats?

Yes, and that is the default: one character plays both beats. Tick "Use a different character for each beat" if you want a cast of two.
