AI motion control for character animation
Give your character a performance to follow. AI motion control uses a character image and a driving video to create an animated clip. The image supplies the visual reference, while the video guides the movement. Use this workspace for motion transfer, gesture studies, or a short dance animation when you already have a performance in mind.
How to use AI motion control
Upload your character image
Add one JPEG or PNG to Character image. Choose a clear image with a pose and framing that suit the action. The upload area checks the supported file size and dimensions before accepting your reference.
Add a driving video
Upload one MP4, MOV, or WebM video lasting up to 30 seconds. Choose a clip with a clearly visible performer and an easy-to-follow action. You can replace either input before generating to try a different character or performance.
Generate and review the animation
Check the credit estimate and generate the video. This workflow uses the two references directly, so no text prompt is required. Open the result in Your videos, review the movement and character details, and download the version you want to keep.
What can you make with motion control AI?
Character movement studies
Explore how a character looks while turning, waving, or making a simple gesture. Pair the same image with different driving clips to compare performances before developing a longer sequence.
AI dance animation
Use a short dance video as a motion reference for your character. Keep the performer visible and select a character image with suitable framing. Review hands, feet, and movement continuity in the generated clip.
Animated character clips for social posts
Create a short performance for a character reveal, reaction, or social post. Download the result to combine it with captions or music in your editing workflow. Start with a single clear action to make variations easier to compare.
AI motion control and motion transfer FAQ
AI motion control animates a reference character using movement from a driving video. You provide an image for the character and a video for the performance, then generate a new clip from those two inputs.
Image to video lets you describe the desired movement with a prompt. Motion control uses a driving video to guide the performance. Choose motion control when you already have a specific action to follow, or the video generator when you want to invent movement from text.
Upload one JPEG or PNG character image up to 4.7 MB and one MP4, MOV, or WebM driving video up to 100 MB. The driving video must be no longer than 30 seconds. Both files must also meet the dimension requirements shown in the upload controls.
No. This motion control workflow uses the character image and driving video directly. To change the performance, replace the driving video; to try a different character, replace the image.
For better replacement results, use Video editing. Choose motion control when your main goal is to animate a character with a reference performance. Video editing is the appropriate workspace for changes to subjects, backgrounds, or objects in existing footage.
The estimate is based on the driving video duration and appears before you submit. A longer driving clip uses more credits. Check the displayed amount after the video has finished loading, then generate when both references are ready.
