Viyou alternative
Viyou alternative: dance clips you direct, not pick from a shelf
Pixel Dojo copies real dance moves onto your character with Kling Motion Control, or animates a photo from one written sentence on Seedance 2.5, Kling 3.0 or WAN 3.0, with the credit price shown before you click.
Viyou sells dance, motion and outfit effects as ready made templates. We took one photo of a man in his sixties in a flat cap and made him dance the Charleston twice: once by copying a reference dancer, once from a prompt alone.
30 credits ($1.88) per 5 s clip at 720p with audio. Included in every plan, from $10/month.

More effect style clips and images we made from a prompt
Every clip and image below was made on Pixel Dojo with the prompt shown. Tap one to start from the same prompt.
An outfit change on Nano Banana 2.1 for 1.5 credits. His face, beard, pose and the hall stayed put; only the clothes changed.
Use the reference image as the identity reference: keep the same man, his white beard, his face, his pose and the dance hall. Change only his clothes to a cream linen three piece suit with a burgundy bow tie and a straw boater hat in place of the flat cap. Same warm afternoon light, full body.
A birthday clip on Kling 3.0 with sound. Pets are the easiest win for a party post.
Vertical close shot of a fawn pug wearing a tiny paper crown sitting at a kitchen table in front of a strawberry sponge cake with one lit candle, the pug tilts its head at the flame, then sneezes and the candle goes out, warm string lights behind. Sound: a sneeze, laughter off camera and a short cheer.
Hand drawn anime on WAN 3.0 for 10 credits, with a soft creak and city hum.
Hand drawn anime style vertical shot: a woman in her late twenties with a short teal bob and a yellow raincoat rides a slowly turning ferris wheel cabin at dusk, she presses her palm to the glass as the city lights come on below, soft cel shading, painted clouds. Sound: a gentle creak of the cabin and distant city hum.
Art print style on Seedream 5: carved lines, three inks and paper grain.
Linocut print of a grey heron standing in reeds at a misty river bend, bold carved lines, three ink colors (deep indigo, rust orange and cream), visible paper grain and slight ink texture, a crescent moon above the water.
Beyond the template shelf
Effect apps like Viyou give you a shelf of ready made looks. Its home page lists an AI Dance Generator, AI Motion Control, an AI Outfit Generator and a video extender, and its pricing page counts more than 1,000 video templates and 1,000 image templates.
The question is what happens when the effect you want is not on the shelf: a specific dance, a specific person, a specific room. So we tested the two ways Pixel Dojo handles that.
One Charleston, copied and written
Step one made the dancer's photo. Step two made a reference clip of a solo Charleston. Step three copied those exact moves onto him with Kling Motion Control. Step four skipped the reference and animated the photo from a written prompt on Seedance 2.5.
Full body vertical photo of a man in his sixties with a trimmed white beard, wearing a grey flat cap, a striped shirt with rolled sleeves and brown suspenders, standing on the polished wooden floor of an empty community dance hall, arms relaxed at his sides, facing the camera, warm afternoon light from tall windows, natural skin texture.
Fixed camera, full body vertical shot of a dancer in her thirties in a mustard sweater and black trousers performing solo Charleston steps on a wooden studio floor: swivelling heels, kicks forward and back, arms swinging, she stays centered in frame the whole time. Plain white wall behind her. Sound: an upbeat swing piano tune and shoes tapping on wood.
The man in the flat cap dances the same Charleston steps in the community dance hall, warm afternoon light.
The man in the flat cap breaks into a lively solo Charleston on the wooden floor: swivelling heels, kicks forward and back, arms swinging, a delighted grin, the camera holds a steady full body frame. Sound: an upbeat swing piano tune and shoes tapping on wood.
- Kling Motion Control moved him through the reference dancer's steps and arm swings while keeping his face, cap, suspenders and the dance hall from the photo.
- The copied version cost 15 credits for 5 seconds, because the reference clip already did the choreography.
- Seedance 2.5 invented its own Charleston from the prompt, with bigger kicks and a broad grin, and added swing piano and tapping shoes.
- Use motion control when the exact move matters, and a prompt when you just want him dancing.
