# Can You Make the Closer Dance AI Video for Free?

> The honest answer, checked in October 2026: filming the Ne-Yo Closer dance and CapCut's Closer templates are free, the AI versions aren't. What each route costs and when paying makes sense.

Short answer: the Closer dance is free if you film it, and CapCut's Closer templates are free to edit it with. The AI version, where two photos become the sunglasses pull-down, the sprint and the face-off, costs money everywhere we looked on 31 October 2026. Here is what each route costs, MemeFX AI included.

## The routes at a glance

| Route | What's free | What a video costs | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Film it yourself | Everything | A pair of sunglasses | A friend, a long path, a few takes |
| CapCut Closer templates | The templates | Free | They edit clips you've already filmed |
| RemixMeme | 20 welcome credits (about 2 images) | 500 credits for a 720p export (pack: $11.99) | About 15 s, no song |
| MakeViral | Nothing listed | 228 credits (smallest pack: $39.99 for 450) | 15 s, 9:16, 720p, with the song |
| MemeFX AI | Nothing | From $7.99, or 15 to 105 credits | 15 s, 9:16, with the song |

## Film it yourself

The original was shot on a phone, so you can too. One of you waits on a long, straight path and pulls the sunglasses down; the other sprints in from far away; then you do the fast, dead-serious face-off and dance side by side to Ne-Yo's "Closer". Caption it "I just can't stop". Add the sound when you post.

**What it costs you:** a friend, a path and the nerve to sprint at someone in public.

## CapCut templates

CapCut has user templates set to the song, such as "Ne-Yo Closer Meme" (228 uses) and a few called "Closer" (one shows 591 uses). They're free and cut clips you've already filmed to the beat. None of them films the sprint or the face-off for you. More: [Closer dance CapCut template vs AI](https://memefxai.com/blog/closer-dance-capcut-template).

## The AI sites

- **RemixMeme** gives new accounts 20 credits, enough for about two images. A 720p "ready for TikTok" export of its Closer template costs 500 credits, and packs start at $11.99 for 500. It doesn't license commercial tracks, so the song isn't in the file.
- **MakeViral** charges 228 credits for its 15-second Closer duo, with the reel's sound, in 720p and 9:16. Its smallest pack is $39.99 for 450 credits, so the first video costs about $40 up front.

**What it costs you:** a sign-up and a pack, and with one of them, adding the song yourself.

## When paying makes sense

- **You can't film together.** Two photos are enough; you don't need to be on the same path.
- **You want the original reel,** the tree-lined path and the camera moves, not your street.
- **You want the song in sync** from the pull-down to the last beat.

When it doesn't: you're with your partner and there's a park nearby (film it).
