The C-Walk is a West Coast footwork dance built from quick heel-toe shuffles, V-steps, crossovers and turns, with the feet doing most of the talking. The clip this template follows has a dancer running the footwork on a Midtown Manhattan crosswalk with the Empire State Building behind him.

Do I need to know how to dance?

No. The footwork comes from the reference clip. You upload one full-body photo and the AI moves you through the same steps with the same timing.

Will I keep my own outfit and shoes?

Yes. This template keeps the outfit and shoes from your photo as closely as it can, so use a photo where both are fully visible. The street, the traffic and the people behind you come from the clip.

What kind of photo works best?

One person, full body from head to feet, standing upright with some space around the arms and legs. Cropped feet or a seated pose leave the AI guessing at your shoes and legs.

How long is the video and what shape is it?

8.2 seconds with the original sound, in the clip's native portrait frame (528×800, a little wider than 9:16) so the feet stay in shot. You choose 480p or 720p.

How many credits does it cost?

58 credits at 480p or 123 credits at 720p, shown before you generate. If the generation fails, the credits are refunded.

Is the preview a personalized result?

No. The video is the source reference footage the template follows and the still is an illustrative style example. Neither was made from someone's upload on imageat.

What comes from your photo and from the clip

About the media on this page

The video is the source reference footage the template follows, and the still image is an illustrative style example. Neither is a result made from someone's upload on imageat. Fast footwork can blur the feet for a moment, and baggy clothes hide the steps more than fitted ones. C-Walk is an independent AI template; imageat is not affiliated with or endorsed by the dancer in the source footage.

Tips for Best Results

Full body, head to feet, standing upright and facing the camera.
Shoes clearly visible; the footwork is what people watch.
One person per photo, nothing covering the legs.
Only upload photos of people who have agreed to it.
