How to make a winter wonderland video of your pet

Updated October 21, 2026 · Reviewed by The Rift team

Short answer

Add a clear photo of your pet in Rift and tell Spark, Rift's video agent, the winter scene: snow falling, string lights, your dog bounding through a snowy field. Check the Draft and tap Make. The video is up to 15 seconds, one shot, and lands in your Library.

Add a clear photo of your pet and describe the snowy scene. Rift makes a winter video of up to 15 seconds, with no cold weather needed.

What you need

An iPhone with Rift.
A clear photo of your pet, facing the camera, with good light.

Step by step

Add your pet’s photo in Rift.
Tell Spark the weather and the place.
Say what to keep: the markings, the collar.
Check the Draft and tap Make.
Find it in your Library and post it.

Lines to try with Spark

“My golden retriever bounds through deep snow, flakes catching the light, keep his markings.”
“My cat sits on a windowsill, snow falling outside, a tiny red scarf.”
“My dog and I walk through a lit pine forest, snow crunching.”
“My rabbit hops past a small snowman in a garden.”
“My dog sits next to a car covered in snow, wagging.”

Tips

Wide, well lit photos keep fur detail.
Slow snow feels calmer than a blizzard.
Give a reason to look, like a falling snowflake.

Questions people ask

Will my pet still look like my pet?

Say "keep my dog's markings" and use a sharp, well lit photo.

Can I add a scarf or a hat?

Yes. Say what your pet wears.

What about a cat that hates snow?

Put the cat by a window or a fire, with snow outside.

Can I add my family?
