The video is a fixed vertical dance with the soundtrack from the reference clip. You cannot pick a different length. This is not an official film or music product.

## What the file is

The usual file is the standard resolution. The only upgrade is the sharper resolution. There is no 1080p choice.

Sound is the audio already in the reference clip. Paying for the video does not give you a license to the song.

## Questions

### How long is a Chipmunks Dance AI video, what format is it, and does it have sound?

The dance is a fixed vertical clip. The length does not change. Sound is attached from the reference. Standard resolution is the default, and the sharper resolution is the only upgrade.

### What song is the Chipmunks Dance?

People associate the trend with You Spin Me Round (Like a Record), released by Dead or Alive on 5 November 1984. A Chipmunks cover is track 4 of the Squeakquel soundtrack, released 1 December 2009. This studio does not claim which recording is in every reference clip, and a download is not a music license.

### Is it safe and allowed to post a Chipmunks Dance AI video?

Only if you have permission to use the people's likenesses and you do not present the file as a real recording. Music in the file is not a license to republish the song. Platform rules still apply.

### Is this an official Alvin and the Chipmunks tool?

No. It does not create the cartoon characters, and it is not a film or music studio. The franchise-shaped name is only a search alias.
