The Strike A Pole prompt and model
Strike A Pole is made with Seedance 2.0 / 2.5 (you pick the tier) by ByteDance. The prompt behind it has 5 parts, and the timing is what makes or breaks it.
- Model
- Seedance 2.0 / 2.5 (you pick the tier)
- Mode
- Photo + motion reference to video
- Length
- 10 seconds, 9:16, 1:1 or 16:9
- Input
- 1–2 photos
- Replace the lead pet The pet beside the lamp post in the 10-second clip is swapped for the pet in your photo, while the garden path, camera and timing stay as they are.
- The dance partner A second photo becomes the pet that cuts in; without one, a friendly tabby cat plays the part.
- Identity lock Each photo is the only source for that pet's species, breed, face, ears, fur and markings, and nothing of the original cats stays.
- The beats A stare into the lens, one swing around the lamp post, a paw-in-paw dance, then a tumble toward the hedge.
- Rules Photorealistic, one continuous shot, exactly two animals, no people, no added clothes, no text, logos or watermarks.

Why it goes wrong when you do it yourself
- A typed prompt alone rarely gets the timing: the swing around the post and the cut-in happen within three seconds.
- Video models tend to keep the cats already in a reference clip and only borrow a collar or a colour, unless each animal is explicitly replaced.
- Asking for a pet on a pole without the reference often drifts into an indoor pole set, which is not this clip.
- Two animals touching paws while turning is hard for video models: limbs can merge, and each retry costs credits and minutes.

What is the Strike A Pole trend?
Updated · videosi is an independent tool. It is not affiliated with TikTok, Instagram, YouTube, or with the owners of any trend, song, game or brand named on its pages.
Strike A Pole is a short AI pet video built on a pun: instead of striking a pose, two animals strike a pole. On a red-brick garden path under a grey sky, two cats stand up on their hind legs, the first one grabs a black garden lamp post and swings around it, and the second cuts in so the pair can dance paw in paw down the path before tumbling toward the hedge.
The name and the clip appeared as a pet video template in late October 2026, and our trend radar first picked up the phrase "strike a pole ai" on 30 October 2026. As of 3 November 2026 it is only just starting to spread. We did not find an original TikTok post of the two-cat clip, so its first creator is unconfirmed, and most TikTok results for the plain phrase "strike a pole" are real pole fitness videos that have nothing to do with this pet clip.
The clip carries a short music bed with no lyrics that we could not identify, and that same sound is added to every video made here.
On videosi your own pet takes the lamp post spot from one photo. Add a second photo for the dance partner, or leave it empty and a friendly tabby cat cuts in. It works for cats, dogs and most other pets that look good standing up. People are not supported on this page.
Strike A Pole: shot by shot
- 0–1.5 s
The stare
The first pet stands upright right in front of the camera and stares into the lens, the partner waiting by the lamp post.
- 1.5–3 s
Strike a pole
It grabs the black lamp post with one front paw and swings once around it.
- 3–8 s
The cut-in
The partner steps in, they hold front paws and turn together on the brick path like a couple on a dance floor.
- 8–10 s
Into the hedge
Still dancing, the pair tumbles toward the hedge on the right as the clip ends.
Tips for a better result
Whole pet in frame
A photo that shows the face, the body and the fur pattern gives the model more to keep than a close-up of the nose.
Daylight, no filters
Even daylight keeps fur colours true; beauty filters and heavy edits change the markings.
One pet per photo
Use one animal per photo, or one photo of both pets side by side in the together mode (left is the lamp post pet).
Eyes visible
The clip opens on a stare into the camera, so a photo where your pet's eyes are clear makes that first second land.
Good to know before you make a Strike A Pole video
- This page is for pets only. Your pets always appear on the same red-brick garden path with the black lamp post; other places and people are not offered.
- The sound is on the video. The pets stand upright and use their paws like hands, so the bodies are not true to life.
- Likeness is not guaranteed: unusual markings can drift, and the prompt has not been tested on every breed or species.
- A failed, timed-out or blocked render returns its credits automatically. videosi is not affiliated with TikTok, CapCut or any template app.
Strike A Pole: questions
What is the Strike A Pole AI trend?
Strike A Pole is a 10-second AI pet video, first seen by our radar on 30 October 2026, in which two animals stand up on a brick garden path, one swings around a black lamp post and the other cuts in for a dance. On videosi your own pet takes the lamp post spot from one photo.
What does "strike a pole" mean?
"Strike a pole" is a pun on "strike a pose". In this AI video the pet does not pose, it grabs a garden lamp post and swings around it before dancing with a partner. videosi keeps it a cute pet clip; it has nothing to do with pole dancing videos of people.
How do I make a Strike A Pole video of my pet?
Upload one clear photo of your pet to videosi, optionally add a second pet, pick 9:16, 1:1 or 16:9 and press Generate. You get a 10-second MP4 with the trend sound on it; the garden path, the lamp post swing and the dance are built in and you write no prompt.
Is there a Strike A Pole AI generator or website?
Yes: videosi turns 1 or 2 pet photos into the 10-second Strike A Pole video in the browser, with no app to install. Leave the second box empty and a friendly tabby cat cuts in as the dance partner, so you do not need two pets.
Is there a Strike A Pole TikTok filter or CapCut template?
We did not find a TikTok filter or a CapCut template for Strike A Pole as of November 2026; it started as a template on an AI video app. videosi is independent and not affiliated with TikTok or CapCut: one or two pet photos in, a 10-second MP4 out.
What AI model and prompt make the Strike A Pole video?
videosi renders Strike A Pole with ByteDance's Seedance 2.0 or 2.5 (you pick the tier) and the 10-second two-cat clip as a motion reference. The prompt swaps each cat for a pet from your photos, locks fur and markings, and spells out the swing and the dance. We do not publish the full prompt.
How much does a Strike A Pole AI video cost?
On videosi a 10-second Strike A Pole video costs 10 credits on the Standard model at 720p. Adding a second pet costs nothing extra. Credit packs start at $6.99 for 10 credits, credits never expire and a failed render returns its credits.
Can I use a dog, or a person, instead of a cat?
Dogs work: the videosi Strike A Pole video takes any pet that can be shown standing up, and the example on this page is a husky and a corgi. People are not supported on this page; for a human dance clip pick one of the dance trends instead.
Why doesn't my pet look like my pet?
Most Strike A Pole misses on videosi come from the photo: a close-up of the face, a dark room or a filter leaves the model guessing the fur pattern. Use a daylight photo showing the whole animal. Unusual markings can still drift in a 10-second render, and a failed render returns its credits.
What song is used in Strike A Pole?
The Strike A Pole clip carries a short music bed with no lyrics, and as of November 2026 we could not identify the track, so there is no confirmed song name. videosi adds that same sound to every Strike A Pole video, so you do not need to add music yourself.
Is Strike A Pole still trending?
As of 3 November 2026 Strike A Pole is an emerging trend: our radar first saw it on 30 October 2026 and it is only starting to spread. Early is a good time to post your own pet version, and this videosi page will note it if the trend grows or fades.
