How do I make a Pet Rock Dance video?

By MimicZip Team · Updated:

Short answer

Upload one photo of an adult or a pet, pick the room, the outfit and the move, and MimicZip builds the scene: the stand-up, the headbang and the final pose. Check a 5-second bonus preview, then spend 1 credit on the 8-second 720p video.

Turning your pet into a rock star

  • Go to the template page. Add one sharp photo of an adult or a pet, whole body, facing the camera. JPG, PNG or WebP, up to 10 MB.
  • Pick the room (Living room by default), the outfit (Black hoodie by default) and the move (Headbang by default). None of them changes the price.
  • Video shape: the video is vertical 9:16, made for TikTok, Reels and Shorts.
  • Consent and sign-in. Tick the photo-consent box and log in with Google. Previews arrive inside a pack, so take one if you have no credits.
  • Look at the preview. It is watch-only, 5 seconds at 480p, marked PREVIEW. Check the fur and the paws staying natural through the headbang.
  • Render: 1 credit gives the 8-second 720p MP4 with no watermark, saved in My videos. Add your sound in TikTok.

The stand-up, the headbang, the final pose

The stand-up (0 to 1.5 seconds), the headbang (1.5 to 5) and the final pose (5 to 8).

The hardest part for the AI is the headbang, because the whole head and a lot of fur swing fast while the body stays upright, so a small change in a paw or the fur is normal, not a failed render. Treat it as a short clip to watch.
