How to make an AI cat soap opera video
The cat soap opera is a short melodrama where every character is a cat: a tearful kitchen scene, a stare out of a rainy window, a dramatic return in sunglasses. It works because the acting is completely serious and the cast is completely cats.

Get the best result
- The photo is the only thing this template needs, so it decides the result: one face, sharp, well lit.
- Starring your own pet? Use a photo that shows its face and markings clearly.
- The scenes, the slow pace and the cinematic look come with the template; you only add the lead.
When you post it
- Add a caption in the voice of the comments ("she did NOT deserve that").
- Post the three-scene cut as is: setup, sad moment, comeback is already the arc.
Make your own version
The template's scenes are fixed. For your own story in this format, open the studio and give the director a line like one of these, with your picture:
- "A cat soap opera where my cat finds out the treats were for the dog, three scenes, melodramatic"
- "Two rival cats at a family dinner, one spills the tea, slow dramatic push-ins"
- "A boss cat fires the intern cat, then begs them to come back"
