03The trend
What Is the Uptown Funk AI Trend?
“Uptown Funk” is the 2014 hit by Mark Ronson featuring Bruno Mars; its video, a crew in sharp suits dancing down a city street, has billions of YouTube views. The AI trend started on 7 October 2026 with an AI version that put look-alikes of famous tech CEOs in the crew, and people soon swapped in their own faces as the lead.
This generator makes that clip from one photo of you. An image model first draws you as the lead in a cream retro funk suit, with four backup dancers in charcoal suits, on a sunny brick street with striped awnings and a vintage car. Your photo gives the face; the suit comes from the scene, like the video. A video model then films the routine. The clip is silent, so you add the trend's sound when you post.
The crew, the street and the moves are generated, and the clip does not use the original recording or any footage from the music video. Dimly is an independent tool and is not affiliated with Mark Ronson, Bruno Mars or anyone connected to the song.

The Uptown Funk AI Clip, Starring You
You lead the crew
Your face is on the lead in a cream suit, front and centre; the backup dancers are AI-made strangers with their own faces.
The music-video look
Retro suits, a sunny brick street, a vintage car, and the moves people know: the strut, the spin, the hand-up freeze and the lapel fix.
Silent, ready for the real sound
The clip has no audio track, so the trend's sound you pick in TikTok, Reels or CapCut plays clean over it.
Pay per video, refunded on failure
144 credits, shown on the button before you start. If a render fails, the credits go back automatically.

07Questions
Uptown Funk AI FAQ
Upload one photo and generate. AI puts your face on the lead of a suited funk crew on a sunny brick street and films the strut, the spin, the freeze and the lapel fix: a 7-second silent vertical video, ready for the trend's sound.
No. The video is silent. The song belongs to its artists and label, so we neither include it nor imitate it. When you post, pick the trend's sound in TikTok, Reels or CapCut. Moves and mouth shapes are not timed to the original recording.
Download the MP4, upload it in TikTok, Reels or CapCut, tap Add sound and pick the trend's sound, then line its first beat up with the start of the clip. Posting with the trend's own sound also puts your video on that sound's page.
No. Like the music video, the lead wears a sharp cream retro suit and the crew wears charcoal suits. Your photo gives the face, hair and build. Glasses and facial hair stay as in your photo.
This effect takes a photo of one person, who becomes the lead. Photos with several people or animals can give unpredictable results.
144 credits per video. The Weekly Pass ($6.99, 150 credits, cancel anytime) covers one, or a one-time $9.99 pack gives 250 credits. Failed renders are refunded.
Free to start: planning, a quote and your first 6 images. Video renders use credits, and this effect costs 144 credits. Failed renders are refunded.
A 7-second vertical (9:16) MP4 at 720p without sound, made for TikTok, Reels and Shorts, where you add the trend's sound.
No. Dimly is an independent tool. It is not affiliated with Mark Ronson, Bruno Mars, their labels or the song, and it uses no original footage, recording or logos.
