## Product facts

- Brand: Bad Times Dance Studio. This is the product’s official website. It is independent of TikTok, CapCut, artists and song owners; “official” does not mean an authorized website for the trend or song.
- Input: one clear JPG, PNG or WebP photo, up to 10 MB, showing one person or pet. A visible face and full body usually provide a better reference.
- Workflow: upload a photo, select a template, optionally customize, sign in, check the credit cost, generate, and download an MP4.
- Templates: The classic, After hours, Golden hour, Retro rewind, Out of office, Toon takeover. All six are included with every credit pack.
- Customization: an optional scene direction up to 600 characters; 4–15 seconds; 480p or 720p; 9:16, 1:1 or 16:9; an original AI beat or silent output.
- Price: one-time credit packs of 40 credits for US$5.99, 120 for US$14.99, or 360 for US$39.99. Stripe hosts checkout. There is no subscription, automatic renewal or free render.
- Cost: 480p uses 1 credit per output second; 720p uses 2. A 6-second 720p video uses 12 credits. The cost is shown before generation. Pack credits do not expire; confirmed failed renders return their credits.
- Timing: a fast generation mode is used, but actual wait depends on settings and queue conditions. There is no guaranteed completion time or verified “fastest” comparison.
- Output: a downloadable MP4, with no watermark added by this website. Completed videos and active tasks are saved to the signed-in account under My videos.
- Music: optional audio is an original AI beat. The original viral recording is not bundled. Add a licensed platform sound when posting.
- Privacy: photos are not published to a public gallery. Generation services process the reference photo. Source links have a limited validity period and generated downloads require account ownership.
- Controls: remove completed or failed creations in My videos; an unused associated source photo is removed with the creation. Active tasks must finish first.
- Languages: the main studio interface supports English and Chinese. Product release notes are available in English, Chinese, German, Japanese and Arabic.

## Accuracy and limitations

AI output is a creative interpretation. Likeness, choreography, movements and scene details may vary. The homepage plays real TikTok trend examples with source links and creator attribution. Short muted previews and real still frames show the original dance; these reference posts are not claimed customer outputs. The full videos open in TikTok’s original player. The service does not claim first-to-market status, a measured easiest/fastest ranking, or a larger template inventory than CapCut. Users must have appropriate permission to process their photos and publish their results.

## Real TikTok references

The site shows source posts by @shalunts_art, @gothikzoul and @zallvxx8. Their short clips are labeled as TikTok trend references, not generated outputs from this studio. Viewers can open the full original posts from each source credit.
