About this effect

What happens
in your video.

The sample begins with a golden retriever sitting in the same room as the source photo. It perks up its ears, tilts its head and moves playfully while the camera stays close.

The dog wags its tail, bounces on its front paws and licks its nose before looking at the lens with a happy open mouth smile. The example shows a dog; movement and appearance can differ with a cat photo.

Use one clear photo of one pet, a dog or cat, with its face visible. Include only one animal and no people. The sample features an AI generated golden retriever dog. Each generation uses 10 credits and requests six seconds in a vertical 720p MP4. Appearance, timing and movement can vary; review your result before sharing.

Good to know

A little clarity
before you create.

What kind of photo should I use for an AI pet video?

Upload one clear photo of one pet: a dog or a cat. Keep the pet's face sharp and visible, show only one animal and include no people. The reviewed example features a golden retriever.

How should I frame my pet photo?

Choose a sharp photo with the pet's eyes, muzzle and ears visible in good light. Keep only one dog or cat in frame, with no people or other animals. Avoid heavy blur, face coverings and busy foreground objects.

Does the example show a cat as well as a dog?

The reviewed sample shows a golden retriever dog. The effect accepts a single dog or cat photo, but the dog's exact actions are not a guarantee of how a cat result will move.

Does my pet wag its tail?

Yes. The dog in the sample perks its ears, tilts its head, wags its tail and gives a little bounce.

Can I include myself with my pet?

No. This effect is for one pet with no people in the photo.
