What a pet Window Dance looks like
Same scene as the original trend: a dark apartment block at night, one lit window, the camera creeping closer. The difference is who is inside. Your cat or dog stands at the window next to the little speaker and moves to the beat, with the reference soundtrack in the download.

How to make it with your pet
- Pick "A cat or dog" above the upload box.
- Upload one clear photo of your pet with its face and body visible.
- Pay once. No sign-up needed.
- Check the preview of your pet in the window and approve it (up to 3 tries).
- Download the 12-second MP4 and post it with the trend sound.
The best pet photos are taken at eye level in daylight, with the whole animal in frame and nothing in its mouth. Fur color and markings come from the photo, so avoid heavy filters.
Which pet photos work
| Works well | Avoid |
|---|---|
| One cat or one dog | Two pets, or a pet with a person |
| Face and body visible | Close-ups of only the face |
| Even daylight | Dark or blurry night shots |
| Natural colors | Filters that change the fur color |
Pets do not have human arms, so the AI keeps the animal shape and turns the hand moves of the original dance into paw waves and hip sways. Results vary by photo; that is why you approve a preview before the video renders.
Why the CapCut template fails with pets
The CapCut Window Dance template swaps a human face onto the original dancer. It needs a human face, so cat and dog photos usually fail or look broken. A full AI remake puts your whole pet in the window instead of pasting a face onto someone else's body.
FAQ
Can I make the Window Dance with my cat?
Yes. Choose "A cat or dog", upload one clear photo of your cat, approve the preview and download the 12-second video.
Does it work with dogs too?
Yes, any dog breed. Use one dog per photo with its face and body visible.
Can my pet and I dance together?
Not yet. Each video has one dancer: one adult, or one cat or dog.
Do pet videos cost more?
No. A pet video uses one credit, the same as a person video.
