How to Create a POKÉDANCE Video?🤔
If you want to create a POKÉDANCE video that stands out from the rest, but don’t know where to start.
Here’s some good news for you – Anyone can make a POKÉDANCE video with a video editing app.
In this section, we'll walk you through how to create one using the popular app "YouCam Video," known for its excellent dance video capabilities, especially animation effects.
Let’s get started!
Step 1: Open YouCam Video
First, turn on the app and create a new project by tapping on the blue + button below.
Then select your POKÉMON DANCE video and import to YouCam Video.
Step 2: Apply AI Effect
To make a TikTok video go viral, the first two seconds are key.
If you want your POKÉDANCE video to stand out, we recommend using dynamic AI effects to make it pop.
We have all sorts of popular AI effects like:
- Border
- Bling
- Spiral
Basically, it puts a border around your body as you dance, making your moves look more eye-catching.
Just choose your favorite effect to instantly liven up your POKÉDANCE videos.
Step 3: Try Different Video Layouts
You can also choose different layouts for your video, such as Grid, Mirror, and Geometry.
We've tested these arrangements on our video, and they really add a new feel to the original. A great choice for people who want to go for new video styles.
(Results can be surprisingly entertaining!)
Step 4: Add Cool Effects
In YouCam Video, you'll also discover a range of Effects to enhance your POKÉDANCE videos.
We have tried several effects and love the outcome!
You can apply these two effects in the example by going to Effect > Art category.
- Cartoon effect
- Bling!
Step 5: Insert POKÉDANCE Music in Video
Lastly, you can add the POKÉDANCE song via “Add Music”. And import the music from there.
How to Download the full POKÉDANCE Song?
It's usually more straightforward to download the POKÉDANCE video from YouTube and transfer the video into MP3, but if you don't have YouTube premium to download the video, this is how you do it with YouCam Video:
- Download a POKÉDANCE video from TikTok
- Tap on Music at the toolbar below and choose Add Music
- Go to My Music and select "Extract", and choose the POKÉDANCE video. YouCam Video will automatically extract the music from the video

Again, if you only need the music for your TikTok video, you can always find it on TikTok via 'Add sound.' There are options for a 22-second Pokedance song or the full version.
