Transmission 5 Dance is for anyone who wants into the viral parking-lot electro reel without learning it. Your photo replaces the face, hair and clothes of the left dancer (Solo) or both dancers (Duo); the moves, fixed camera, parking lot and track stay. A video costs 85–990 credits (about $3.16–$36.81); the 3 sign-up credits do not cover one. Length: 11 s, or the full 23 s on Seedance 2.5, 9:16 up to 1080p, watermarked until your first purchase.
How to make a Transmission 5 dance video
- 01
Pick Solo or Duo and add the photos
Solo takes one photo, which replaces the dancer on the left; the dancer on the right in the cap stays. Duo takes two photos: Photo 1 on the left, Photo 2 on the right. One adult per photo, facing the camera.
- 02
Choose the place, length and model
Keep the reel’s parking lot or describe your own place. Pick 11 seconds (Seedance 2.5 or MiniMax H3) or the full 23 seconds (Seedance 2.5), and the resolution. The button shows the credits before you start.
- 03
Check, download and post
Watch the low squat and the hand passes for faces or hands that drift, download the MP4 (the track is already on it) and turn on the platform’s AI label when you post.
Transmission 5 dance examples
Three Transmission 5 dance examples show the same parking-lot routine with the same track. The first two are Duo versions of the 11-second cut this tool makes by default; the third is a Solo version of the first 15 seconds of the reel, labelled under the video.
Both dancers replaced: a woman in an olive hoodie and grey joggers on the left, a man in a cap and a black-and-white track jacket on the right, doing the arm locks, the low squat and the hand passes side by side in the grey parking lot. 11.5 s · 9:16 · the parking-lot routine with its track.
Both dancers replaced: a man in a teal track jacket and black cargo trousers on the left, a woman in a lime jacket and light jeans on the right, in the same parking lot with the same overcast sky and fixed low camera. 11.5 s · 9:16 · the parking-lot routine with its track.
Only the left dancer replaced, by a man in red-tinted glasses and a red-and-black tracksuit; the dancer on the right in the cap stays, in the same parking lot. 15 s · 9:16 · the parking-lot routine with its track.
Another part of the reel: the first 15 seconds of the routine, which the full 23-second version starts with; the 11-second version uses the later half.
Transmission 5 dance AI: Solo or Duo
Transmission 5 dance AI Solo uses one photo and replaces only the dancer on the left, so you dance next to the original partner in the black cap. Duo uses two photos and replaces both dancers, so you can do the routine with a friend who never learned it. Both cost the same and follow the same moves, camera and track.
| What differs | Solo | Duo |
|---|---|---|
| Photos | 1: you | 2: you and a friend |
| Who changes | The dancer on the left (black T-shirt, brown trousers) becomes you | Both dancers: Photo 1 on the left, Photo 2 on the right |
| Who stays | The dancer on the right in the black cap and brown track jacket | Nobody from the reel |
| Clothes | From your photo | From each photo |
| Price | Same as Duo | Same as Solo |
If the wrong person ends up on the left in a Duo, press Swap left and right before you generate.
What is the Transmission 5 dance meme?
The Transmission 5 dance meme is a short reel of two electro dancers side by side in an empty, overcast parking lot, filmed with one fixed camera low to the ground: sharp arm locks at chest height, hand passes that cross right next to each other, a deep low squat and quick footwork, all in sync. People recreate it by learning the routine or, more often, by putting their own face into it with an AI template like this one.
The moves are electro dance, the arm-heavy club style many people know from the French Tecktonik craze: the arms carry most of the movement while the feet make small, fast steps. The original reel was posted on Instagram on 13 October 2026 by Nikita, an electro dance teacher (ENCORE electro dance), together with el_diablork.
What is the Transmission 5 dance song?
The Transmission 5 dance song is “Transmission 5”, an acid house track that the pages covering the trend credit to Paranoid London, the duo of Gerardo Delgado and Quinn Whalley; the trend takes its name from it. Videos made here carry the audio of the reel the dance comes from, laid back in sync with the moves.
That audio is part of the template, not a music licence. If a platform mutes or flags it, post the video with the platform’s own version of the track from its music library.
Can you make the full Transmission 5 dance performance?
Yes: the full Transmission 5 dance performance is the 23-second option, which follows the whole reel from the first beat on Seedance 2.5. The default 11-second option is the second half of the reel, the part most AI versions use, and it is the only length MiniMax H3 can make (it stops at 15 seconds).
| Length | Models | What the dancers do |
|---|---|---|
| 11 s (default) | Seedance 2.5 or MiniMax H3 | The second half of the reel: arm locks at chest height, arms thrown overhead into a deep low squat, then fast hand passes, arm swings and footwork side by side. |
| 23 s (full reel) | Seedance 2.5 only | The whole routine from the first beat: the opening arm locks and crossed hand passes in a wide low stance (people walk past behind), then everything in the 11 s cut. |
Those descriptions follow the reference reel; a generated video follows the same timing, but small moves can land a little early or late.
Transmission 5 dance pricing: free credits and cost per video
No, a Transmission 5 dance video is not free here: the cheapest one is 85 credits (about $3.16), and the 3 sign-up credits are not enough on their own. One video costs 85 to 990 credits, about $3.16 to $36.81 at the lowest credit price: MiniMax H3 is 85 credits for 11 s at 720p, Seedance 2.5 is 86 for 11 s at 480p and 179 for the full 23 s at 480p (990 at 1080p). From a zero balance, the smallest purchase that covers one video is $12 for 220 credits, with no subscription.
| Question | What happens here |
|---|---|
| Price per video | 85 to 990 credits, set by the model, the length and the resolution (about $3.16 to $36.81 at the lowest credit price). Solo and Duo cost the same. |
| Free credits | 3 sign-up credits, valid for 7 days. Not enough for a video on their own: the cheapest is 85 credits. Any credits count towards it, gifts included. Watching the examples is free. |
| Smallest purchase | The $5 Trial pack (24 credits) is not enough for one of these videos. The smallest pack that covers one is $12 (220 credits). One-time packs, no subscription needed. |
| Watermark | Videos from accounts without a purchase carry a moving site watermark. Any purchase unlocks clean downloads of earlier and later videos. |
| Length and format | 11 s on both models, or the full 23 s on Seedance 2.5; 9:16 vertical MP4 at 24 fps; 480p, 720p or 1080p on Seedance 2.5, 720p on MiniMax H3. |
| Sound | The reel’s own Transmission 5 track is laid back on the video, in sync with the moves. |
| Failed or rejected | If generation fails, or a photo is turned down by the safety check or the model’s review, the credits go back automatically. |
| Finished but not right | A completed video is not refunded. Another take is charged again at the price on the button. |
Credits for every model, length and resolution, from the same function the generator charges:
| Model · length | 480p | 720p | 1080p |
|---|---|---|---|
| Seedance 2.5 · 11 s | 86 (≈$3.20) | 192 (≈$7.14) | 474 (≈$17.62) |
| Seedance 2.5 · 23 s | 179 (≈$6.66) | 401 (≈$14.91) | 990 (≈$36.81) |
| MiniMax H3 · 11 s | Not offered | 85 (≈$3.16) | Not offered |
| MiniMax H3 · 23 s | Not offered | Not offered | Not offered |
Both models bill per second for the reference cut and for the finished video, so the 23-second version costs about twice the 11-second one. Packs and plans are on the pricing page.
What the Transmission 5 dance AI does badly
The Transmission 5 dance AI has not been tested on paid runs for this page yet, so treat these as the usual weak spots of reference-guided dance video: the prompt asks the model to keep each face from its photo in every frame, but results vary with the model and the photos. It makes one fixed shot of two dancers; it cannot add a third dancer or move the camera.
| What you might see | Why | What helps |
|---|---|---|
A face changes in the low squat or when the hands cross in front of it | The model redraws the face after it is covered or turned down | A sharp, front-facing photo with the eyes visible; try the other model |
| Extra or merged fingers in the fast hand passes | Fast hands close together are hard for every video model | Another take; a higher resolution keeps small details sharper |
| Something of the original dancers shows through | The template follows the real reel, so it can leak into a frame | Clear, well-lit photos; the other model |
| A cropped headshot gets invented arms, trousers or shoes | The dance is shown full length | A waist-up or full-length photo in the clothes you want to dance in |
| A custom place looks off, or the floor does not match the dancers | The model redraws the whole place around the same camera and moves | A short, concrete description and a scene photo, or the parking lot |
| Seedance 2.5 turns a photo down before it starts | The provider’s review refused the photo; the credits come back | A clearer photo of one adult, or MiniMax H3 |
Use only your own photo or photos of adults who agreed to be in the video, and no children. The track and the routine belong to their creators, so check the rights before using a video in an ad.
