Put yourself ina music video

Bring in the clip
Three ways to get the music video in
A TikTok or Reels clip
Most songs have short clips of the video on TikTok and Instagram. Copy the link of one and paste it; the first 60 seconds come in.
A YouTube Short
Paste a YouTube Shorts link, or any YouTube video up to 3 minutes long. Full music videos are usually longer, so use a Short of the song.
Your own cut
Save the part you want as a clip of up to 60 seconds and 200 MB (MP4, MOV or WebM) and upload it.
Step by step for each app: put yourself in a TikTok, in an Instagram Reel or in a YouTube Short.

Tools that put you in a music video, side by side
A music video usually reaches you as a TikTok, Reels or Shorts clip, so what matters is whether a tool takes the link, lets you pick the chorus or the dance break, and keeps the song.

Answers
Frequently asked questions
- How do I put myself in a music video?
- Open Put Yourself In on oVideo, bring in the part of the music video you want (paste the TikTok, Reels or YouTube Shorts clip of it, or upload a cut up to 60 seconds), pick 3 to 15 seconds, add one clear photo of yourself and create. You replace the artist while the moves, the camera and the song stay.
- Does the song stay in the video?
- Yes. The song and every sound of the seconds you picked are put back in sync with the moves, so you look like you are performing it.
- Can I paste a YouTube link of the full music video?
- Only if the video is 3 minutes or shorter. Most full music videos are longer, so paste the TikTok or Reels clip of the song, a YouTube Short, or upload a cut of the part you want, up to 60 seconds and 200 MB.
- Can I be the dancer instead of the singer?
- Yes. Pick the seconds where the dancer you want is clearly in view; the whole person in the clip is replaced with you. On your own clip one person is swapped; duo and trio templates swap two or three people at once.
- Does it make me sing new lyrics?
- No. Your face and body take the place of the artist and follow their performance and the original song. To make a video of you singing a song from scratch, try the AI singing video templates.
- Which photo works best?
- One clear photo of you, face visible, ideally full body or waist up in the outfit you want to wear in the video.
- How much does it cost?
- The swap costs 19 credits per second at 720p and 26 at 1080p, shown before you create; a 15 second swap at 720p is 285 credits, about $3.66 to $7.13 depending on the plan and billing. Failed videos are refunded automatically.
- Can I post it?
- Music videos and songs belong to their owners. Use clips you have the right to use, credit the artist, and turn on the AI generated content label on TikTok, Instagram or YouTube when you post.
