How to Make Bad Times AI Videos
A practical walkthrough from first photo to downloaded MP4 — including which template to pick and how credits work.
How it works
- 1
Open the generator
Go to /generator (or use a template CTA). Sign in if you want history; guests can still checkout.
- 2
Choose scene or idea
Person and Pet are the two hero scenes. Or describe any idea in the prompt box.
- 3
Upload, consent, pay
Confirm 18+ rights, pay from $8.88 for a single 720p, wait a few minutes, download the MP4.

Share responsibly
Label AI / fan edits when needed. Do not impersonate real people without consent.
Before you start
You need one clear adult face photo and a card for Stripe checkout. No subscription. Credits unlock renders; 500 credits ≈ one 720p Bad Times short.
Read the short What is Bad Times Dance? guide if you want character context and the independent-fan disclaimer.
Pick the right entry point
New to the trend? Start with Bad Times Face Swap for the overview, or Photo to Video if you searched for a still→MP4 pipeline.
Already know the scene? Open Person Dance Pink Suit or Pet Quarrel Dance and jump straight into the generator with that template.
Quality tips
Avoid group shots where faces are tiny. Soft daylight or even phone flash beats heavy beauty filters. If a render fails a beat, credits return automatically — retry with a cleaner photo.
FAQ
Where do I buy credits?
Pricing packs are on /pricing and in the create flow. Marketing “from $8.88” matches the single 720p pack.
