The Pick It Up AI prompt and model
Pick It Up 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
- 13 seconds, 9:16, 1:1 or 16:9
- Input
- 1 photo
- Who gets replaced The dancer in the reference clip becomes the person, group or pet in your photo.
- Motion reference A 13-second clip supplies every move in order, the rhythm, the still low camera and the framing.
- Identity lock Face, hair, clothes, build and skin tone come from your photo and stay the same in every frame, even when you face away.
- Setting The whole clip stays in the kitchen or moves to a plain room or a parking garage.
- Rules Feet on the ground, five fingers per hand, no logos, captions, watermark, cuts or lip sync.
Replace the woman in the striped crop top and striped flared trousers in Video 1 with the person from Image 1. Their face, hair, clothesβ¦
Why it goes wrong when you do it yourself
- Without a motion reference, models invent a generic party dance and lose the exact order of the moves.
- The turn away from the camera is where the original striped outfit can return unless the prompt rules it out by name.
- Raised arms and the low bounce are where fingers merge and legs stretch, especially from a low camera angle.
- Each try costs model credits and several minutes, and the sound still has to be lined up with the moves afterwards.

What is the Pick It Up AI trend?
Updated Β· 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.
The Pick It Up dance is a short TikTok routine done at home, usually in one take with the phone propped low on the floor. It follows a chant: "Pick it up, make it jump, put your hands up". You groove on the spot, throw both arms straight up, turn your back to the camera with your hands raised, sway from side to side, turn round, raise your arms again, then finish in a low, wide-legged bounce.
The earliest post we watched with this sound is dated 28 September 2026. Dance posts tagged with the challenge name kept appearing through October, and by late October the routine had picked up Halloween costume versions. In the final days of October CapCut template tutorials took off, some passing several hundred thousand views, most of them turning baby photos into the dance. Our trend tracking first flagged it on 31 October 2026 as emerging, so it has only just started to spread. No original choreographer is confirmed.
On TikTok the sound is credited as "original sound" by DJZACKKK. We could not trace it to a commercial release, and it is not one of the better-known songs called "Pick It Up" by Famous Dex or Cardi B.
This page does the whole recipe for you. The moves, the timing and the sound are built in, so you choose only the photo, the setting and the format. Your photo can show you alone, up to three adults, or a pet. Baby versions are popular in CapCut, but this page does not make them.

Tips for a better result
Show your whole body
The clip is full-body from start to finish. A photo cropped at the waist leaves the model to invent your legs and shoes.
Keep your face clear and facing front
Your face is small in a full-body shot, so use even light and leave sunglasses and low hats off.
Stand apart in group photos
For two or three adults, choose a photo where everyone is fully visible and nobody overlaps.
Pets: one animal, whole body
A sharp photo of one pet on a plain background works best. Fur patterns carry over better than unusual body shapes.
Good to know before you make a Pick It Up AI video
- Baby and child versions are not available: do not upload photos of children, and only use photos of adults who have agreed.
- Your photo's background is not reused: the clip plays in one of the three settings. Your clothes and hair do come from the photo, and the model has to guess how they look from behind.
- Up to three people fit, and more people means smaller faces. Fast arm moves can blur a hand or make a face drift, so likeness is not guaranteed. This effect has not been test-rendered with every kind of photo, and pets vary the most.
- The sound is already on the video, but there is no lip sync. A failed, timed-out or blocked render returns its credits automatically.
Pick It Up AI: questions
What is the Pick It Up dance trend and where did it come from?
The Pick It Up dance is a roughly 13-second TikTok routine set to the chant "Pick it up, make it jump, put your hands up", and videosi makes a 13-second AI version from one photo. The earliest post we watched with this sound is dated 28 September 2026. The AI wave followed in late October 2026, mostly through CapCut templates. No original choreographer is confirmed.
How do I make a Pick It Up AI video from a photo?
Upload one photo to videosi's Pick It Up AI page, pick the kitchen, plain room or parking garage, choose a format and press Generate. You get a 13-second MP4 with the trend sound on it and no watermark. Rendering takes several minutes, the result is saved in My creations, and you do not write a prompt.
Is there a Pick It Up AI dance generator or website?
Yes. videosi (videosi.io) is a web tool that makes the Pick It Up AI dance from one photo, with the moves and sound built in. It works in a phone or computer browser with no app to install. A 13-second video on the Standard model at 720p is 11 credits, and an account's first video at that setting is 10.
Is there a Pick It Up filter or CapCut template?
Yes, CapCut templates for this dance were spreading on TikTok in late October 2026, many of them aimed at baby photos, though names and links change often. videosi is independent and not affiliated with TikTok or CapCut. Its Pick It Up AI page is a separate web tool that returns a 13-second MP4 you can post anywhere, with no template to find.
What AI model and prompt make the Pick It Up dance video?
videosi makes the Pick It Up dance with ByteDance's Seedance (Seedance 2.0 Mini by default; Fast, Pro and Seedance 2.5 Ultra are one click away), using a five-part prompt and a 13-second motion reference clip. A prompt alone rarely works, because models invent a generic dance rather than this exact order of moves. The full prompt is not published.
How much does a Pick It Up AI video cost, and is it free?
A 13-second Pick It Up AI video on videosi is not free: it costs 11 credits at Standard 720p, and an account's first video at that setting costs 10. There is no free generation or free trial. The smallest pack is $6.99 for 10 credits, credits never expire, and plans start at $29.90 a month. A failed render returns its credits.
Why doesn't my Pick It Up AI video look like me?
Likeness in videosi's Pick It Up AI video depends mostly on the photo: the 13-second clip is a full-body shot from a low angle, and for a few seconds you face away from the camera. A small, dark or sunglasses photo gives the model too little to work with. Use a clear, front-facing full-body photo. Likeness is not guaranteed.
Can I make the Pick It Up dance with friends or my pet?
Yes, within limits: videosi's Pick It Up AI takes one photo, and that photo can show up to three adults or a pet. Everyone should be clearly visible, since more people means smaller faces and less reliable likeness. Only use photos of adults who have agreed. Pets stand on their hind legs for the 13 seconds and results vary more.
What does "pick it up, make it jump" mean?
"Pick it up, make it jump, put your hands up" is the chant the dance follows, and in the Pick It Up trend it works as a set of dance cues rather than a story. We have not confirmed any wider slang meaning. On videosi, Pick It Up AI simply means that same routine performed by you from one photo, in a 13-second video.
What song is used in the Pick It Up dance trend?
Most posts we checked in late October 2026 use a TikTok sound credited as "original sound" by DJZACKKK, and videosi puts a 13-second copy of that chant on the finished video. We could not identify a commercial release behind it. It is not the Famous Dex and A$AP Rocky track or the Cardi B and Selena Gomez song called "Pick It Up".
Is the Pick It Up dance still trending?
As of November 2026 the Pick It Up dance is only just starting to spread: videosi's trend tracking first flagged it on 31 October 2026 as an emerging trend. The sound goes back to at least 28 September, and CapCut tutorials for it were still being posted in early November. It is too early to say how long it will last.
Can I make the Pick It Up baby dance on videosi?
No. The CapCut versions of Pick It Up with dancing babies are not part of videosi's page, which is for adults and pets: do not upload photos of children. The page makes a 13-second full-body dance from one photo of adults who have agreed, or of a pet, using the same sound and the same order of moves.
