Before you publish

Check eyes and ears before and after the blink. Inspect paws for distortion or extra limbs.
Compare fur, whiskers and framing with your input: the sample softens fine detail and slightly changes the composition.
This test covers one ginger-cat image, not every pet. Do not present generated movements as documentary evidence of animal behavior.

A blink. A little curiosity.

A four-second silent Seedance test: the kitten blinks and tilts its head while its paws stay planted. Fine fur detail softens and the framing shifts slightly. Compare the source before trying your own pet.

Prompt, settings & input

Starting image: Ginger kitten sitting on a green cushion beside a sunlit window — Original starting image · compare shape, detail and framing with the video above.

The seated ginger kitten makes one small, natural blink and a very slight head tilt toward the window. Both front paws stay planted on the green cushion. Keep the body seated, the mouth closed and the camera completely still. Preserve the original fur markings, ear shape, eyes, whiskers and window background. Gentle breathing only. One continuous four-second shot, no extra animals, no new objects, no added text, no camera movement.

Prompt, settings & input

Starting image: Original ginger kitten on a moss-green window seat — Original starting image · compare shape, detail and framing with the video above.

The ginger kitten blinks once and slowly tilts its head a few degrees toward the window as if listening. Gentle natural breathing and a tiny ear twitch. Both front paws stay planted on the green cushion; body remains seated. Locked camera. Preserve face, fur pattern, whiskers and exact kitten anatomy. Calm natural movement, no extra limbs, no mouth opening, no cuts, no added objects.

Before you start

Can I make my pet talk, sing or dance?

This recipe is for natural photo motion. The cat example demonstrates a blink and small head tilt. It does not include lip sync, voice-over, dance templates or multi-shot stories.

Does it work for dogs and other pets?

You can try another pet photo, but the tested input here is one ginger-cat image. Dogs and other animals have not had separate quality acceptance. Results for every breed, pose or movement are not established by this sample.

What size is the video, and does it have sound?

The primary sample uses four seconds, the 480p setting and audio off. Its downloaded file measures 562×748 pixels and about 4.04 seconds, with no audio track. Image-to-video follows the source proportions: about 3:4 here, not an automatic 9:16 crop.

Is it free, and can I find my video later?

The example MP4, source image, recipe JSON and shot plan are downloadable. Your own generation requires sign-in and sufficient credits, with a quote shown for your settings. This sample used 221 credits; check the quote before submitting. Your result stays in My videos for download when you sign back in.
