      How It Works

      How Do You Swap the Dancers in a Dance Video?

      Three steps, no editing software. Most videos are ready in a few minutes, and you can leave the page while yours is being made.

      ✨
      01

      Pick a Dance Template or Upload a Dance Video

      Choose a dance from the Motion library and press Remix, or upload your own MP4, MOV or WebM file up to 30 MB and 60 seconds and pick the 4 to 30 seconds you want.

      💎
      02

      Add Your Characters

      Add pictures of the characters who should dance, plus any scene or prop pictures, up to 30 in total. Each picture gets a name such as @image1. One clear, full-body character per picture works best.

      🌙
      03

      Say Who Dances Where, Then Generate

      Write one short sentence like “@image1 replaces the dancer in front”, or keep the one Remix fills in for you. Press Generate. Your video appears in History with the original music, ready to download as an MP4.

      Key Capabilities

      What Can Dance Swap Do?

      It changes who is dancing and keeps the dance itself: every move, the camera and the music.

      THE DANCE STAYS

      Same Dance, New Dancers

      Your characters take over the routine move for move. Timing, footwork and formation follow the original dancers, the camera moves the same way, and the music keeps playing underneath.

      • Moves follow the original routine
      • Original music kept in the result
      • Camera angles and cuts stay the same
      • Output as an MP4 at 480p or 720p
      Phone screens showing different dance videos
      TEMPLATES

      Start From a Dance Template

      The Motion library has popular dance clips ready to use. Pick one, press Remix, add your character pictures, and the instructions are filled in for you.

      • Popular dance clips
      • One-click Remix
      • Instructions filled in for you
      • Edit the prompt any time

      YOUR VIDEO

      Or Bring Your Own Dance Video

      Filmed your own routine or found the perfect clip? Upload it and use the timeline to pick the exact 4 to 30 seconds: drag the clip, trim either edge, and play it back before you confirm.

      • MP4, MOV and WebM up to 30 MB and 60 s
      • Choose any 4 to 30 second section
      • Preview the clip before you generate
      • Portrait, landscape and square clips

      THE WHOLE CREW

      Swap the Lead or the Whole Crew

      Change just the lead dancer, or give every dancer in the group a new character. Name each picture in your prompt, such as @image1 and @image2, to decide who dances where.

      • Up to 30 pictures in one video
      • Characters, scenes and props
      • Pick who dances where with @ names
      • Or let AI write the instructions

      Common Questions

      What Should You Know About Dance Swap?

      Answers about how Dance Swap works and how to get a good result.

      What is Dance Swap?

      Dance Swap swaps the dancers in a dance video for your own characters. Pick a dance template or upload your own clip, add pictures of your characters, and freebeat makes a new video where they dance in place of the original dancers. The moves, the camera and the music stay the same.

      How do I start?

      Pick a dance from the Motion library and press Remix, or upload your own 4 to 30 second dance clip. Add pictures of your characters, check the one-line instruction, and press Generate.

      Does the music stay?

      Yes. The original music from the dance clip plays in the finished video.

      What videos and pictures can I use?

      Videos can be MP4, MOV or WebM, up to 30 MB and 60 seconds long, and you choose a 4 to 30 second section. Pictures can be JPG, PNG or WebP, up to 30 MB each, with up to 30 pictures per video. Clips where the dancers are easy to see, and pictures with one clear, full-body character, work best.

      Can I swap every dancer in a group?

      Yes. Add a picture for each new character and use the @ names in your prompt, such as @image1 and @image2, to say who replaces whom. One picture can also be used for all the other dancers.

      What's the difference between Dance Swap and Dance Replica?

      Dance Replica uses dances that freebeat provides. Dance Swap lets you use your own dance video or start from a template, with clips up to 30 seconds, up to 30 pictures, and full control over who replaces whom.

      How long does it take?

      Usually a few minutes, and sometimes longer when many people are using it. You can leave the page after pressing Generate. The finished video appears in History, where you can watch and download it.

      Will my character lip-sync?

      No. Your characters follow the dancers' moves, and the original music plays on top. Lip-syncing is not part of this feature.

      What pictures work, and what can't I upload?

      Illustrated, anime or AI-made characters work best. Clear photos of real people, especially faces, ID-style photos and celebrities, are often blocked. Don't include personal information such as ID cards, license plates or phone numbers, and nothing sexual, violent or harmful to minors. Only use videos and pictures you have the right to use.
