Face clear

A clear face
Facing the camera, eyes and ears in view: the clip gets close to your pet.
Good light
Daylight or a bright room shows the fur colours and markings best.

What is the shaking head pet trend?

The shaking head pet trend is a short AI pet clip: an animal looks straight at the camera, eyes squeezed shut and looking very pleased with itself, and slowly shakes its head from side to side, as if it knows something you don’t, before breaking into a grin.

The Shaking Head AI template is a sunny window sill with flowers behind. From one photo your cat or dog is the one shaking its head, with its own face, fur colour and markings; the window, the light and the moves come with the template.

Questions

Is Shaking Head AI free?

No. A template video uses 750 credits at 480p (1,500 in HD), about $10 with a credit pack. Starter and Pro plans pay half (375) and Unlimited pays 30%: 225 credits a video, about $2.25. The 100 free credits you get when you sign up are not enough for one video.

How long is a Shaking Head AI video?

7 seconds: the squint, the slow head shake and the grin at the end.

Does my pet have to sit still for the photo?

Only for one photo. Shaking Head AI draws the squint, the smile and the head shake from that single still picture.

Which photo works best?

One pet, its face clear and looking at the camera, in good light. Side views or a face half hidden come out less like your pet.

Does it work with a dog, or only a cat?

Both: upload one cat or one dog with nobody else in the photo. A photo with the face clear and looking at the camera works best. You do not need to be in it. Uploads go through an automatic safety check.

Can I post my shaking head ai video?

Yes. It is a finished 7-second vertical video with the sound mixed in, so you can post it to TikTok as it is.

Does the video have sound?

Yes: your video comes with the clip’s sound, mixed in. If TikTok flags the sound for copyright, swap in a sound from TikTok’s sound library when you post.
