What this action does
A joyful mid-air leap to catch a tossed treat. You give the app a single photograph and it generates a short clip of that movement, roughly 5 seconds long. Nothing is filmed and nothing is recovered: the motion is produced from the one frame you supply.
What photo works best
The treat arrives from outside the frame, so the mouth and the space above it both need to be in the picture. Take the dog standing, head to paws, with headroom above the ears. A head already raised slightly gives the leap a natural starting angle. Grass or a plain floor underneath keeps the landing believable. What tends to go wrong is a photograph cropped close to the top of the head, which leaves the jump hitting the edge of the frame the moment it begins.
What to expect
One photograph goes in and a short clip comes out. It is generated rather than filmed, so run it twice if the first attempt puts a hand somewhere strange; the second version will not be identical.
If the result is not convincing, the fix is almost always the photograph rather than the settings. Reshoot it wider, get more light on the face, and move the arms clear of the body. The rest of what decides the result applies to every action here, and the limits apply to this one too.
Common questions
- What kind of photo works best for Treat Catch Leap?
- Treat Catch Leap builds about 5 seconds of movement out of your photograph, and the one frame you choose is the entire input. Whatever has to appear in the result has to be in the shot, so frame wide enough to take in everything the movement touches, keep the subject sharp and clearly separated from what is behind them, and get even light onto the face and the hands.
- How long is the video?
- About 5 seconds. That is what the default video model in the app's catalogue is configured to produce, and it is the same for every motion action in the library.
- Do I need a subscription to use Treat Catch Leap?
- No. Treat Catch Leap is not marked as a subscription only action in the app's catalogue. AI Video is free to download, and generating a result uses credits, which are bought as a pack or come with a subscription.
The right action for the photo beats the popular one
Every movement and every style in the library is written up the same way, so you can check whether the picture in your camera roll actually suits it before you spend a credit.
