How to Do the Wassup in a Minute AI Trend With Your Friends (3 Steps)

TL;DR — Here's how to do the Wassup in a Minute AI trend: add one to three photos, pick a quality and press Create. You'll get 15 seconds of your trio doing the routine. The trend's original sound is already under it, so there's no app, no template and no editing. Seadanse's Wassup in a Minute AI page does it for $9.90 at 720p with no account.

The most-liked question under the trend's videos is "How do you make this effect?" That single question had 1,464 likes under Niana Guerrero's own video when we read it on November 15, 2026.

We'll show you how to get that video in your browser. Below, we walk through the 15 seconds shot by shot and the three steps on our page. You'll also see which photos work best, who you can put in your trio and how to post it.

Here's our own video made from one photo:

In our video, a young woman with long wavy blonde hair leads the dance. She wears an olive-green jacket, a white top and light blue jeans. Two of Seadanse's dancers join her in white T-shirts.

Here's what's below:

• The shots: the 15 seconds, timed.
• The steps: three picks and presses.
• The photos: what works best.
• The FAQ: the song, the outfits and the cost.

What a Wassup in a Minute AI Video Looks Like, Shot by Shot

A Wassup in a Minute AI video is 15 seconds in four shots cut on the beat. You lead two friends through the bounce, the close-up, the walk and the dusk sway. The trio routine, the four cuts, who stands where and the sound are built in.

Here's how our 15-second version plays out:

• The bounce (0 to 3.6 seconds): the three of you bounce in a row on a sunny park lawn with palms and pines, the water behind you. At about 2 seconds you all put both hands on your heads.
• The close-up (3.6 to 7.2 seconds): you step right up to the camera with thumbs and finger-guns and a grin, mouthing the words, while your two friends wave behind you.
• The walk to the camera (7.2 to 10.8 seconds): the three of you walk toward the camera on a path by the water, you in the middle.
• The dusk sway (10.8 to 15 seconds): on a lawn at dusk, with city lights behind it, you sway, roll your hands and point at the camera. You're low at the front right, with your friends behind you.

The trend's original sound plays under all 15 seconds from the first one, and the four cuts land on the beat.

How to Do the Wassup in a Minute AI Trend in 3 Steps

You do the Wassup in a Minute AI trend on our Wassup in a Minute AI generator in three steps, with nothing to film and nothing to edit. It runs right in your web browser on your phone, tablet or computer.

Think of it as the shortest wassup in a minute AI tutorial you'll read. Here's how you do it:

1. Add your photos: put your photo in the first box, which leads in the middle. Put a friend's photo in the second and third boxes if you want, or leave them empty and two of Seadanse's dancers join you. On a computer, you can also scan a code and pick photos from your phone.

2. Pick a quality: pick 720p or 1080p (how sharp the video is); 720p is picked to start.

3. Leave the box ticked and press Create: the box comes ticked, which confirms you've got the right to use the photos and everyone in them is 18 or older. The price shows on the button before you pay.

You pay once, with no account and no subscription, and your video starts right on the page. One photo, two or three cost the same.

You don't need to sign in before you create. Checkout emails you a link that signs you in, so you can open your video again on another device whenever you'd like.

When your video's ready, you download it as an MP4. It's 15 seconds in 16:9 (the wide frame of a TV screen) with the sound under it and no watermark on exported video, ready for TikTok and Reels.

Pick the Best Photos for Your Wassup Trio

The best photos for a wassup trio video show one person, character or pet each, with the face clear, in good light. Each dancer keeps their own face, hair and build in every shot.

Here's what works best:

• One per photo: pick a photo with only one person, pet or character in the frame.
• The face: make sure the face is clear, sharp and lit from the front.
• The outfit: each dancer wears the clothes from their photo, so pick a photo that shows the outfit you want to dance in.
• The lead: your first photo leads in the middle and takes the close-up.

Our sample's lead comes from one photo, and she dances in the same olive-green jacket and light blue jeans.

You can head over now to make your wassup trio video with your favourite photo.

Do the Wassup Trend With Friends, Family or Your Dog

The three dancers in a wassup trio video can be you and two friends who say yes. They can also be family who are 18 or older, a dog, a cat or a cartoon or game character. You're never locked into a single setup.

Here are four ways people fill the three spots:

• Friend trios: use one photo each, from three different phones, with your friends' say. You get all three of you doing the bounce, the finger-gun close-up and the walk toward the camera.
• Family: use one photo each of a sister, brother or parent who is 18 or older; you get your family walking toward the camera together in one 15-second video.
• Just you: add your photo alone, and Seadanse's dancers join you on the beat, with you dancing right in the middle.
• Pets and characters: add a photo of your dog, cat, cartoon character or game character, with or without your own photo; they dance in the trio at the same price.

One photo, two or three cost the same, and whoever is in them does the bounce, the close-up, the walk and the dusk sway.

Do the Wassup in a Minute Dance Without an App or Template

You do the wassup in a minute dance on our page with your photos only. That means no app to install, no CapCut template to find, no editing, no sound to add and no prompt. Everything runs in your browser.

Here's what you skip:

• The app: there's nothing to install on your phone or computer.
• The template hunt: you don't have to hunt down a CapCut template (an edit someone already built in the CapCut app, with a slot for your photo).
• Editing: there are no clips to cut, no keyframes (marks an editor sets on a clip to move it) and no transitions to line up.
• The sound: there's no audio track to hunt for, since the remix plays under the whole video.

The trend's AI versions spread through CapCut AI templates that take one photo, and you can see which CapCut template makes the dance if you're curious about how they work.

On Seadanse, you open Wassup in a Minute AI for TikTok and Reels and get the routine, the four shots and the sound from your photos.

Post Your Wassup in a Minute AI Video on TikTok and Reels

Your wassup in a minute AI video is 15 seconds in widescreen 16:9 with the trend's sound already under it. That means it's ready to post on TikTok and Reels as it is. You don't have to sync anything.

The sound is producer zbee's jersey club remix of "From Time" by Drake featuring Jhené Aiko. Jersey club is a fast, bouncy dance-music style with a kick drum on every beat.

Here are three ideas for the caption:

• Tag your trio: tag the two friends in the video, the way trios of friends tag each other in the trend's covers.
• Ask for the next trio: ask your followers who you should dance with next, the "do this trio next" request people leave under the AI versions.
• Answer the question: reply to "how do you make this effect?" with the three steps.

Wassup in a Minute AI Video FAQ

What song is in a Wassup in a Minute AI video?

The song in a Wassup in a Minute AI video is the trend's original sound: producer zbee's jersey club remix of "From Time" by Drake featuring Jhené Aiko. The hook comes from Drake's line "What's up? Been a minute", which listeners hear as "wassup in a minute". The track plays right from the first second of your video.

Can I do the wassup trend with just my photo?

Yes, you can do the wassup trend with just your photo. When you add your photo alone, two of Seadanse's dancers join you, so the crew is always three. You lead in the middle, and it costs the exact same price as a video with three photos.

Do my friends and I keep our own clothes?

Yes, your friends and you keep your own clothes in every shot. Each person dances in the outfit from their photo, with their own face, hair, skin tone and build. Nobody gets placed into someone else's clothes.

Is this the anime wassup in a minute edit?

No, this isn't the anime wassup in a minute edit. The same sound also carries an anime edit where drawn characters sway one after another on a white background, which began with Blue Lock drawings. Our page makes the trio dance with your photos, and you can read our comparison of the dance and the anime edit to see the difference.

How much does a Wassup in a Minute AI video cost?

A single 720p Wassup in a Minute AI video costs $9.90. That $9.90 buys a pack of 500 credits, and a 720p video takes 500 credits. A 1080p video takes 1,480 credits.

You pay once with no recurring subscription, and pack credits stay valid for 12 months. If a video fails, its credits come back automatically. You can review all credit options on our Seadanse pricing page.

Can I make other dance videos from my photo?

Yes, you can turn your photos into several other dance videos on Seadanse. You can sneak chips with your friends in Car Doritos AI using one to three photos.

You can also lead a dance crew of eight in Like JENNIE AI Dance, or dance ILLIT's challenge on your own in You're Under Arrest AI Dance. You'll find all of them with the rest of our AI video effects.
