How to make a Christmas video of your pet as an elf or Santa

Updated · Reviewed by The Rift team

Short answer

Add one photo of your pet to Rift and tell Spark the Christmas job, such as a cat as Santa handing out presents by a fireplace. Spark plans the shots and sets up a Draft with the price on the Make button. Tap Make and share a festive video of up to 15 seconds from your Library. Rift is an iPhone app.

Add a photo of your pet and tell Spark to make it Santa or an elf. There is no hat to keep on and no tantrum.

What you need

Step by step

  1. Tell Spark the job. Name the costume and what your pet is doing.
  2. Add your pet’s photo. Pick it from your camera roll.
  3. Check the Draft. Reply to change the room or the action.
  4. Make. Tap Make, leave if you like, and find it in your Library.
  5. Make a pair. Do the same for a second pet and send both.
