UNDER THE FAN · OUTFIT CHANGE
AI Ceiling Fan Transition, Priced Before You Upload
Turn one selfie into the overhead fan-blade outfit change: four looks in a 15-second vertical clip. Each model’s credit price shows before you upload, packs are one-time, and no download carries a site watermark.
An AI ceiling fan transition is the TikTok outfit change filmed from the ceiling: you lie on a rug, a fan turns between you and the camera, and each time a blade sweeps across the lens you reappear in a different outfit, so the blade works as the wipe. People also call it under the fan, the fan outfit transition or the fan-blade outfit change. The AI version spread in late September 2026. Duran Duran’s “Girls on Film” is a frequent soundtrack, but the trend has no single official sound.

All 14 model and quality prices
Every video is 15 seconds and 9:16. The model follows a 15-second template clip, so the provider bills the clip it reads as well as the clip it makes; that is already in each price. MiniMax H3 renders at 768P, listed here as 720p. Seedance 2.0 Pro, Seedance 2.5 and MiniMax H3 need purchased credits.

Free credits, the trial pack and watermark-free downloads
Nothing here hides behind a blurred preview. You see the price first, and what you generate downloads as the full 15-second MP4.
| Option | What it covers | Watermark |
|---|---|---|
| Signup gift | Up to 3 credits for eligible new accounts, valid 3 days. That is less than the 17 credits of the cheapest ceiling fan video, so it cannot pay for one on its own. | No RoadsterVideo watermark on any download, including videos paid with the trial or the signup gift. We do not remove other apps’ watermarks. |
| Trial$5 · one-time | 20 credits, valid 365 days. First purchase only; one successful video, enough for Seedance 2.0 Mini at 480p. | |
| Starter$19 · one-time | 320 credits, valid 365 days. No renewal. | |
| Creator$49 · one-time | 900 credits, valid 365 days. No renewal. | |

If a video fails at any step (photo review, generation or adding the music), the whole charge goes back to your balance automatically. A finished video you don’t like is not refunded; trying again is a new charge.
Second by second: what the 15-second template does
Every video follows the same locked overhead shot. Knowing when the looks change helps you order your outfits and decide where to trim.
0–1.5 s · The roll
You roll off a white sofa and land on your back on a pale rug, under a three-blade fan with a steel hub. Look 1 is on from the first frame.
About 5.4 s · Look 2
A blade covers your whole body and the second outfit is there when it clears.
About 9.0 s · Look 3
The next full pass brings the third outfit.
About 12.9 s · Look 4
The last change. The clip ends on this look at 15 seconds.

Between those moments the blades keep sweeping without touching your clothes, and your pose shifts slightly after each change. The camera never moves and there is exactly one person in the frame.
For a short loop, cut at one of the blade passes so the jump back to Look 1 is hidden too.
This is the template clip itself, published by Kavel AI, with the music that goes under your video. It was not made by RoadsterVideo. Your video keeps this room, fan, timing and music, with your face and your four looks.
Your four outfits or a theme pack
With your own photos, the first outfit photo is Look 1 and the fourth is Look 4, and all four must be different. Shop screenshots, flat lays and mirror photos all work. Only clothes and shoes are taken from them: a model’s face, a hanger or text in the picture is ignored.
Without outfit photos, pick a theme:
- Everyday: light jeans and a white tee, a camel trench over a turtleneck, a grey hoodie with cargos, a cream cable-knit.
- Autumn: a chunky knit with corduroy, a brown leather jacket, a trench with a tartan scarf, black velvet for the evening.
- Night out: black leather, a silver sequinned top, red satin, a white suit.
- Halloween: witch, vampire, skeleton bodysuit, pumpkin.
- Formal: black tie, all white, emerald satin, champagne sequins.
What can drift: the model rebuilds your face in every frame from one photo, so a side-on or dim selfie gives it less to hold on to. Busy prints, small logos and exact jewellery are the details most likely to change; plain garments come through best. If the face is off, use a clearer front-facing photo; a higher resolution does not fix it.
Where the ceiling fan trend came from
- Early 2026 · Filmed by hand
- Creators fixed a phone to the ceiling pointing down, filmed one short take per outfit in the same pose and joined the takes where a blade crossed the lens. An Instagram tutorial by @colinpomeroyyy credits the idea to @jeffmachad0.
- Late September 2026 · The AI version
- Photo-to-video generators started making the same shot from one selfie, with no fan or ceiling mount, and the AI version spread across TikTok. The Tab’s report, 28 September 2026
- The music
- No sound is tied to the trend. Duran Duran’s “Girls on Film” comes up often; many posts simply use whatever is trending that week.
- Filmed, template or AI
- A filmed version needs a fan, a safe phone mount and four matching takes. A CapCut-style template rearranges clips you already shot. An AI generator like this one makes all four looks from photos.
Make one in three steps
- 01
Add your face and the outfits
One clear photo of your face, then four outfit photos in order, or a theme instead.
- 02
Check the price and generate
Choose a model and quality; the button shows the credits. A video usually takes a few minutes and keeps going if you leave the page.
- 03
Download and post
Download the MP4 with the template music, or pick Silent and add a sound in the app. When you post it, switch on the platform’s AI-generated label.
AI ceiling fan transition questions
I only want to make three for my friends. What is the cheapest way?
Three videos with the default Wan 3.0 at 480p need 150 credits; three with Seedance 2.0 Mini at 480p need 51. The smallest single purchase that covers them is Starter ($19, 320 credits) for the default and Starter ($19, 320 credits) for Mini. Packs are one-time with no renewal, and no video carries a site watermark. The $5 trial is for exactly one successful video.
Can I make one free and without a watermark?
Up to 3 credits for eligible new accounts, valid 3 days. That is less than the 17 credits of the cheapest ceiling fan video, so it cannot pay for one on its own. The lowest-priced video is 17 credits, and the $5 trial pack (20 credits) covers one. However it is paid for, the download has no RoadsterVideo watermark.
Can I try it without an account or a card?
You can see every price and watch the template without signing in. Uploading and generating need a free account so your photos and videos stay tied to you; a card is only needed if you buy credits. There is no locked preview: what you pay for is the full 15-second MP4.
Where did the ceiling fan transition start?
As a filmed trick. Creators shot themselves from a ceiling-mounted phone, one take per outfit, and cut on the blade passes; an Instagram tutorial from early 2026 by @colinpomeroyyy credits @jeffmachad0. The AI version, made from a single photo, went viral on TikTok in late September 2026.
What song is used for the ceiling fan transition?
There isn’t an official one. Duran Duran’s “Girls on Film” is common, but plenty of posts use other tracks. Your download comes with the template’s own music; pick Silent if you want to add a licensed sound inside TikTok or Instagram instead.
Is it the same as a filmed ceiling video or a CapCut fan template?
It is the same shot made three ways. Filmed versions are real takes joined on the blade passes. A CapCut template rearranges footage you shot yourself. The AI version generates the footage, so you need no fan and no outfits on hand, only photos.
Why do the clothes start changing before the blade reaches me?
In a blank image-to-video prompt the model decides when to change outfits. Here the template fixes the three changes at about 5.4, 9.0 and 12.9 seconds, and the prompt tells the model to switch only while a blade fully covers you. If a change still shows, two outfit photos are often too similar or one photo holds several garments; use four clearly different single outfits.
