Hotel Lobby AI for Pets: Cat & Dog Photo Guide

Choose references you can recognize

You can try two pets, or a pet and its owner, in the two-photo workflow. Pick one recognizable feature for each pet: a white chest patch, dark ears, a striped face or a particular coat shape. Keep it visible in the reference so you have something concrete to compare with the video.

Use one subject per image. If both pets appear together, make a separate crop for each before uploading. Keep enough of the body to show its outline, then inspect the upload preview for accidental cropping. Use an existing photo; your pet does not need to hold a performance pose.

• A visible face and useful coat detail.
• One intended subject in each upload preview.
• No large obstruction hiding the features you want to keep.
• A reference with enough body detail for the appearance you want.

Assign the starting roles

Photo 1 is assigned to the performer who begins on the viewer’s left; Photo 2 to the performer who begins on the right. Decide where the pet and its partner should start before uploading. Reverse the two photos to reverse the casting.

The role follows the original performer through the clip. If someone changes position, their identity should continue with that performer rather than switch to whoever occupies the left side. The preset guides this behavior; the result still needs checking.

Try a short clip with a clear purpose

Open the generator, add both references and check their order. Choose a 4-second clip and an available quality, then compare the displayed credit cost with your balance. Sign in when prompted and generate after reviewing your choices.

Use the short result to inspect the opening: can you recognize both subjects, and are the starting roles correct? A 15-second video is a separate generation. A good opening test does not guarantee that a longer clip will keep every detail throughout.

Check markings and movement

Compare each subject with its own photo. Does the chest patch stay with the same pet? Do the two subjects remain separate? Watch head turns, paws and body outlines while the clip is moving, not only in a paused first frame.

Animal motion can be unpredictable when guided by a human performance. If a feature changes, note the moment and the subject involved. For a deliberate retry, replace one weak reference at a time. Another generation uses the displayed credits and may still vary.

• Check both identities at the start and the end.
• Watch for merged faces, extra limbs or changing coat patterns.
• Listen to the finished soundtrack before editing.
• Keep both subjects visible when reframing for your post.
