What do you get in a No Scrubs AI video?
A No Scrubs AI video from No Scrubs AI Dance is a 15-second MP4 in which the person from your photo stars in a late-90s R&B music video, with the trend sound mixed in, no watermark and your choice of 9:16, 1:1 or 16:9. It is set to a cut of TLC's 1999 hit "No Scrubs". The generator above is preset to Black Tee, Baggy Cargos.
What happens in the video, beat by beat?
The No Scrubs AI video follows the same seven beats every time, in 15 seconds. The look you pick changes the outfit, not the choreography.
| Time | Shot | What you see |
|---|---|---|
| 0.0–0.5s | Cold open | The lead strikes a pose in the white set, chrome shapes on the wall behind. |
| 0.5–2.5s | The corridor | The lead walks down a long ribbed chrome corridor toward the camera as it pushes in. |
| 2.5–3.0s | Finger wag | Hard cut: a backup dancer leans into the lens and wags one finger, "no". |
| 3.0–4.5s | Close-up | The lead in close-up, hands framing the face, then pointing at the camera on the beat. |
| 4.5–9.0s | The trio | Low-angle wide shots: the lead and two backup dancers in a shoulder-bounce, side-step routine; one dancer reaches into the lens. |
| 9.0–11.0s | Fisheye | Top-down fisheye: the lead crouches between the chrome walls, arms spread, looking up into the camera. |
| 11.0–15.0s | Finale | The trio dances in sync in a wide shot, the lead front and centre on the last beat. |

Which format should you post?
- TikTok, Reels and Shorts: 9:16. It fills the phone screen.
- An Instagram feed post: 1:1.
- YouTube, a laptop or a TV: 16:9.
- A group chat: 9:16 at 480p keeps the cost lowest and looks fine on a phone.
The trend sound is already on the file, and the apps let you swap the audio when you post. Steps for each app are in how to post a No Scrubs AI video on TikTok and Reels.
How do the four model tiers differ?
| Tier | Model | Credits per video, by resolution |
|---|---|---|
| Standard | Seedance 2.0 Mini | 480p: 5, 720p: 10 |
| Fast | Seedance 2.0 Fast | 480p: 8, 720p: 17 |
| Pro | Seedance 2.0 | 480p: 10, 720p: 20, 1080p: 50 |
| Ultra | Seedance 2.5 | 480p: 17, 720p: 37, 1080p: 93 |
What you see changes with resolution: 480p is small and soft, 720p is the default, and 1080p is the sharpest and is offered only on Pro and Ultra. Standard runs Seedance 2.0 Mini and is the one that takes about four minutes; render times for the other tiers are not confirmed. How much better each tier looks has not been measured here, so start on Standard and move up if a face comes out soft. Packs and plans are on the pricing page.
What can go wrong?
The top-down fisheye shot bends faces at the edges, the backup dancers are made up and change between renders, and hands and feet can blur in the quick trio shots. The example clips on this site are TikTok AI versions of about 12 seconds in 4:3, while your render runs 15 seconds. Photos must show you or an adult who agreed. If a render looks off, see the fixes for common No Scrubs AI video problems. The video is made with ByteDance's Seedance 2.0 / 2.5.
