How to make a gentle memorial video of a pet from old photos

Updated · Reviewed by The Rift team

Short answer

Choose one or two clear photos of your pet in Rift and tell Spark, Rift's video agent, a quiet moment to remember, such as your dog resting in warm afternoon light on the porch. Spark plans the shot and shows a Draft. Take your time, tap Make, and keep a video of up to 15 seconds in your Library.

One or two clear photos of your pet and a quiet moment to describe are all you need for a gentle video of up to 15 seconds. There is no hurry, and nothing here needs to be shared. If a photo is faded, restore it first.

What you need

Step by step

  1. Pick the photo that feels most like them.
  2. Tell Spark the moment. Keep it quiet and simple.
  3. Check the Draft. Change anything that feels wrong.
  4. Make. Tap Make when you are ready. The price is shown on the Make button before you tap.
  5. Keep it in your Library and share it only if you want to.

Tips

Questions people ask

Can I include myself?

Yes. Add a photo of you and ask for a quiet moment with your pet, such as a hand on their head.

What if my photos are blurry or old?

Start with the clearest one. You can also restore an old photo first. See the restore guide below.

Can I add a song or words?

Music isn't in the app yet, and neither is text over the video. You can add both in your messaging app.

Is it okay to feel emotional?

Of course. Make it when you are ready, and stop any time. Nothing is posted for you.
