Dog parks: fence-and-gate stills, no generated owners on the turf
Imagen locks the civic fence you installed, then LTX I2V. Overlay hours. Generated handlers are extras. A pet-brand film is a different /for.

A city dog park is a civic plate: the fence you bolted, the gate a neighbour already uses, the turf inside the run. Hours are type you write. Occupied turf is extras. City accounts: the building still is public; residents are not extras already named that kill for steps and plazas. This leftover is the run: empty fence and gate, then motion, then hours.
Imagen holds the fence you actually installed
The honest plate is the fence and gate on this lot: panel height, mesh, the latch the city bolted, the turf that is actually in the run. Text-to-video will invent a prettier lawn, a generic run, a golden retriever for scale. That is a different park.
Imagen 4 is Google’s text-to-image row: 4K, 4 credits, photoreal, text-only. It cannot ingest the site photo. Use it to lock a closed, empty civic still of the fence you installed — quote panel type, height, mesh, the gate, no handler, no dog. Proof that still against the park. If a neighbour who walks that block would not say the clip is this run, you generated a cousin lot.
If you already have a photograph of the empty park, that JPEG is a better first frame. Crop people. Crop pets. Do not send “photoreal busy dog park at golden hour” to Imagen and call it the install. Empty is the brief. If a face is in the brief, the brief is wrong. Minors at the latch are a hard stop.
LTX I2V moves the camera, not the census
AI image to video is the aisle: the upload is frame one, not a style hint. Attach the approved empty still. Prompt only the motion.
LTX 2.3 Image to Video Pro is the catalog row: animates a still with a prompt, 6 credits listed, 6 / 8 / 10 second durations in the catalog, 1080p / 1440p / 2160p (4K listed), optional audio, optional end-image when the move has a destination. Frame one is the fence you locked. The prompt is camera and physics: a slow push along the run, parallax on the mesh, wind in grass already in the frame, no new panel, no one entering.
Do not prompt “owners arriving with dogs, gate swinging, happy pack.” A labelled synthetic clip of an unnamed handler is still extras. Calling it a downtown aesthetic does not move a platform or a city attorney.
Six seconds is enough to prove the run. Ten seconds of the same empty fence is a long miss unless the camera actually travels. A second approved still of the same fence is optional control. Two photos of two different parks is a morph. Write the mix or plan score after lock. Do not write a handler voice into the motion prompt and call it hours.
Overlay hours; do not generate the sign
Posted hours are a string the city already uses: “Dawn to dusk.” “6 a.m.–10 p.m.” Write that string. Do not ask Imagen to letter it into the gate, and do not ask LTX to paint it into the mesh.
Add a text overlay to a video stamps one authored line, whole clip, top / center / bottom. It does not transcribe. Hours are overlay copy. A video model that paints those words into a park sign will mint a schedule you cannot edit.
If you needed hours at 0s and a “leash until the gate” beat at 4s, that is timed overlays, a different editor job. Auto-captions listen. A mute fence has nothing to transcribe. Picture lock, then type. Crop to the ship ratio before you overlay. Hours change. The fence should not.
Generated handlers are extras; pet brands are a different /for
A person with a dog on the turf is a private person. A ribbon-cutting still does not authorise new generated performances. Most city social teams need to stop generating people — and the dogs those people would have brought.
AI video for pet product brands is a nearby audience with a different plate: bag, toy, real-pet proof with a grant. That page is occupancy on purpose. This park is civic hardware. Do not rewrite the brand page as a fence demo. Hardware is not a bag. Do not sample a customer’s dog into a civic ad.
Allowed: the fence you installed, the empty run, the empty gate. Not allowed: a style reference of a private pet. Minors at the latch are a hard stop. Overlay the hours. If a neighbour who already walks that block would not say the clip is this fence, you generated extras.
FAQ
If we label the video AI-generated, can we add photoreal owners on the turf?
Not as a general rule. Labelling tells viewers the media is synthetic. It does not create a grant. City dog-park clips should not be in the replica business. Empty fence, overlay hours.
Why Imagen 4 instead of photographing the park?
Photograph the empty park when you have it — that JPEG is the honest site plate. Imagen 4 is text-only, 4K, 4 credits, photoreal: use it for a closed empty still of the fence you installed when you need a clean plate, and proof it against the run. It cannot ingest the site photo.
Can LTX add a pack of dogs “for scale”?
No. Scale is the gate height and the fence posts already in the still, or a dimension overlay you typeset later. A generated pack is extras, and a generated child at the latch is a hard stop. Prompt camera only.
Is /for/pet-product-brands the right home for this clip?
No. That page is brand occupancy: real pets, UGC with a grant, the bag or toy. This clip is a civic leftover — fence and gate, LTX on the empty still, hours as overlay. Do not rewrite the pet-brand audience as a city park.
