Questions about Pet Comes Alive
What kind of photo works best?
A sharp, bright photo of one pet facing the camera, with its whole head in view. Photos with several animals or heavy filters give less predictable results.
How long does it take?
Usually two to four minutes. You can leave the page; the take is saved in your library when it is ready.
What if I don't like the result?
Make another take. Each take is a new video from the same photo. If a take fails to generate, its credits go back to your balance automatically.
