The APT AI prompt and model
APT AI is made with Seedance 2.0 / 2.5 (you pick the tier) by ByteDance. The prompt behind it has 5 parts, and the timing is what makes or breaks it.
- Model
- Seedance 2.0 / 2.5 (you pick the tier)
- Mode
- Photo + motion reference to video
- Length
- 15 seconds, 9:16, 1:1 or 16:9
- Input
- 1–2 photos
- Identity lock Each photo is the only source for that dancer's face, hair, build and clothes, in every frame.
- Motion reference A 15-second real duo clip of the APT dance on a still camera supplies the steps and timing.
- Scene One place you pick: a purple party room, a city square at night or a pink studio.
- Timeline Five beats, from the lean and side steps through the bounce and chant to the last pose.
- Rules Two adult dancers side by side, no hug or kiss, no celebrity's face, no cuts and no text.
Replace the blonde dancer in sunglasses, a white crop top, a black leather jacket and a black mini skirt on the right of Video 1…
Why it goes wrong when you do it yourself
- Asking a model for the APT dance by name without a motion reference gets generic swaying, not these steps.
- Writing the song or the singers' names in a prompt can pull in a celebrity look or get the job blocked.
- With two dancers, a face can jump from one body to the other during the close turns.
- If you do not name what to remove, the original dancers' sunglasses and leather jackets stay on the new people.

What is the APT AI trend?
Updated · videosi is an independent tool. It is not affiliated with TikTok, Instagram, YouTube, or with the owners of any trend, song, game or brand named on its pages.
APT is a dance challenge set to "APT.", the song ROSÉ and Bruno Mars released on 18 October 2024. The title is short for apartment, and the chant in the chorus, apateu, comes from a Korean drinking game in which players stack their hands and call out a floor number. The song took off within days, and TikTok filled with people playing the game and dancing to the chorus.
The dance is not one fixed routine. The version most people copied is a duo or solo chorus dance of side steps, leans, arm swings and low bounces, usually filmed full body on a still camera. The earliest dance clip we found is dated 20 October 2024, and the most-viewed ones we found date from October to December 2024.
That peak has passed, and we say so plainly. What came back in 2026 is smaller: an AI wave, visible in clips from about September 2026, that puts other people and characters into the song, often as a duo in a pink studio. Tutorials for it appeared in early October 2026.
The videosi version follows a popular real duo clip as its motion reference. Your photo replaces one dancer, a second photo replaces the other, and without one an ordinary adult stranger dances beside you. You pick the place, and the song comes on the finished 15 seconds. The examples on this page are real clips of the trend from the internet, including solo and group versions; the generator makes the duo version.

Tips for a better result
Show your whole body
The dance is framed head to toe, so a full-body photo gives the model your shape and clothes.
Keep your face clear
Use a sharp photo with no sunglasses, mask or heavy filter.
Wear what you want to dance in
Your clothes come from the photo, so choose an outfit you like. Flat lighting shows it best.
One person per photo
Separate photos work best for two people. Pick photos in which both of you look clearly different.
Good to know before you make a APT AI video
- The video shows two adult dancers side by side. Without a second photo, the other dancer is an ordinary stranger. It adds no costume, wig or sunglasses.
- The steps come from one reference clip. Other APT clips use other routines, and the group, solo and studio examples here are real trend clips, not outputs of this generator.
- The video comes with the song, but there is no lip-sync, and likeness is not guaranteed. A failed, timed-out or blocked render returns its credits automatically.
- videosi is not affiliated with ROSÉ, Bruno Mars or the song's rights holders, and a platform may mute or limit the track.
APT AI: questions
What is the APT trend?
The APT trend is a dance challenge set to "APT.", the song ROSÉ and Bruno Mars released on 18 October 2024. Most clips show one or two people doing the same side-step routine in the chorus. Since about September 2026 a second wave of AI clips has put other people and characters into it, and videosi makes that version from one photo in 15 seconds.
How do I make the APT dance video with AI from one photo?
On videosi, upload one full-body photo of yourself, add a second photo if you want your own partner, pick a place and a format, and press Generate. You get a 15-second APT dance video with the song on it and no prompt to write. Without a second photo, an ordinary adult stranger dances beside you.
Is there an APT AI video generator?
Yes. The videosi APT AI page is a generator that takes one or two photos and returns a 15-second dance video in 9:16, 1:1 or 16:9. It follows a real, widely shared duo version of the routine as its motion reference, so the steps come from the trend rather than from a generic dance.
Is there a TikTok filter or CapCut template for APT?
TikTok and CapCut users post APT templates, but we could not confirm one official filter, and templates come and go. videosi is not a filter or a template: it renders a new 15-second video from your photo on the web, with no app to install and no editing to do afterward.
What AI model and prompt does APT AI use?
APT AI on videosi runs on Seedance 2.0 or 2.5 from ByteDance, and you pick the tier. The prompt swaps both dancers in a 15-second reference clip for the people in your photos and changes the place. We do not publish the full prompt, but the How it is made section lists its five parts.
How much does APT AI cost, and is it free?
APT AI on videosi is not free: there is no free generation and no free trial. A standard 15-second video (Standard model, 720p) is 13 credits; better models and higher resolutions cost more. Credit packs start at $6.99 for 10 credits and never expire. A failed render returns its credits automatically.
What does APT mean in the song?
"APT." is short for apartment, and the Korean word apateu is the chant in the chorus. It comes from a Korean drinking game in which players stack their hands and call out a floor number. ROSÉ has said she taught the game to Bruno Mars, and the song grew out of it. The videosi APT AI page uses the dance, not the game.
What song is used in the APT trend?
The APT trend uses "APT." by ROSÉ and Bruno Mars, released on 18 October 2024. Videos made on videosi come with the song on them, about 15 seconds taken from our reference clip. The mouth does not follow the words, because there is no lip-sync. Platforms may mute or limit a commercial track.
Is the APT trend still trending?
As of November 2026 the APT dance is past its peak: the most-viewed clips we found date from October to December 2024, with tens of millions of views. A smaller AI wave began around September 2026 and people still post new clips, so videosi lists it as fading rather than over.
Why does my APT AI video not look like me?
APT AI on videosi works best with one clear, well-lit, full-body photo per person. A small face, sunglasses or a heavily filtered photo gives the model little to hold on to, and fast turns over 15 seconds can shift the face. Likeness is not guaranteed; a failed render returns its credits automatically.
Can I do the APT dance with a friend or use someone else's photo?
Yes. APT AI on videosi takes a second, optional photo, so a friend or partner can dance beside you, as long as they are an adult and agreed. Do not upload a photo of a child, a celebrity or anyone who has not said yes. The video is a dance side by side, never a hug or a kiss.
Will I wear the pink dress or leather jacket from the APT videos?
No. APT AI on videosi keeps your own face, hair and clothes for all 15 seconds and adds no costume, sunglasses or wig. If you want a look from the trend, upload a photo of yourself already wearing it. The place you pick changes only the background.
