Three pet casts that work
The generator above starts with both photos set to Pet. Switch either one to Person to put yourself in the scene.
| Cast | Photo 1 (on the keys, left) | Photo 2 (hype partner, close-up) | Tip |
|---|---|---|---|
| Two cats | The calmer cat | The cat with the most expressive face | Two cats with different colours stay easier to tell apart |
| Owner and dog | You, set to Person | Your dog, set to Pet | The dog gets the close-up, which is usually the funniest part |
| Dog and cat | Either pet | The one with the sharpest photo | Use photos taken in similar light |
Pet photo checklist
- One animal per photo; crop out people's hands and other pets, or they may be read as a second subject.
- The head clearly visible, facing the camera or at a slight angle, plus some of the body.
- Even light: no strong backlight, no deep shadow over the eyes.
- JPG, PNG or WebP, up to 20 MB, with the shorter edge at least 300 px.
What to expect: how a pet is animated
The reference clip is a two-person performance: one plays the mini keyboard and laptop, the other points, throws an arm up and leans into the camera. A pet is turned into an upright character that copies those human moves while keeping its own fur and markings. That makes paws on a keyboard and a dog leaning into the lens possible, but posture and paws can look strange, and the close-up varies more than with people.
Seedance 2.5 and Seedance 2.0 usually keep an animal recognisable better than Seedance 2.0 Mini. Start with 5 or 10 seconds; if the look holds, generate the 30-second version with the walk-off ending.
What a pet video costs
A pet video costs the same as any other video: the price depends on length, model and resolution, not on the subject. Default prices for 5 and 10 seconds:
| Model | Resolution | 5 s | 10 s |
|---|---|---|---|
| Seedance 2.0 Mini | 480p | 6 credits | 11 credits |
| Seedance 2.0 Mini | 720p | 12 credits | 24 credits |
| Seedance 2.0 Fast | 480p | 20 credits | 40 credits |
| Seedance 2.0 Fast | 720p | 44 credits | 87 credits |
| Seedance 2.0 | 480p | 34 credits | 68 credits |
| Seedance 2.0 | 720p | 73 credits | 145 credits |
| Seedance 2.0 | 1080p | 182 credits | 364 credits |
| Seedance 2.5 | 480p | 49 credits | 97 credits |
| Seedance 2.5 | 720p | 110 credits | 219 credits |

If the result looks wrong
- The wrong animal is on the keys: Photo 1 always takes the keyboard. Use Swap photos and generate again.
- Your pet looks too human or blurry: try a clearer photo of the head and some of the body, or switch from Mini to Seedance 2.5.

Questions and answers
Can I make it with only one pet photo?
The scene has two roles, so you need a second photo. It can be another pet, you, a friend or a family member. Set each photo to Pet or Person.
Will my pet keep its markings?
The model aims to keep the fur colour and main markings from your photo, but small patterns can shift between cuts. A clear, well-lit photo of the head and part of the body helps most.
Can my dog and I be in the video together?
Yes. Set your photo to Person and the dog photo to Pet. A common cast is the owner on the keys (Photo 1) and the dog hyping the room in the close-up (Photo 2).
Why does my pet look a little human?
The reference performance is two people, so a pet is turned into an upright character that copies human moves. Paws, posture and the close-up can look odd; that is part of the joke, but results vary.
Which model is best for pets?
Seedance 2.5 (the default) and Seedance 2.0 usually hold an animal’s look better than Seedance 2.0 Mini. Mini is the cheapest way to test a photo first.
Does the pet video include the song?
Yes. Every finished MP4 includes the reference clip’s soundtrack, cut to your chosen length.
