Make a YouTube Short from your pet's photo
Shorts are vertical, short and endlessly looping, which is exactly what a living portrait is.
Shorts use a vertical 9:16 frame. Make several moods of the same pet for a quick series, such as "calm vs excited".

How to do it
- Create and download your living portrait.
- In the YouTube app, tap + then Create a Short, and upload the video.
- Add music or text, then a title such as "My dog comes to life".
- Publish, and mark it as altered or synthetic content if YouTube asks.
Best moods for this
Upload one photo, pick a mood - your first preview is free when you sign in with Google (a short 480p clip with a watermark, watch online).

Do I need to disclose AI?
YouTube asks creators to disclose realistic altered or synthetic content. Follow the prompt when you upload.
Can I monetise it?
That depends on YouTube's policies for your channel. Original commentary and series tend to perform better than single clips.
