01
Start from one strong source image
A clear subject image gives the model the identity, outfit, silhouette, and lighting it needs to preserve while motion is being transferred.

Why it works
Motion Control AI for character animation
Use a motion reference to guide body movement, camera rhythm, expression, and pacing while your uploaded image defines the character.
Reference motion library
Start from ready-made motion demos such as selfie, podcast, singing, rapping, handheld, and emotional performance references.
Upload your character
Use one image as the character source, then transfer the selected motion onto that image with identity-preserving generation.
Upload your own motion
Replace the demo with your own video whenever you need a custom gesture, camera angle, or performance beat.
Quality and orientation controls
Choose 720p or 1080p, set duration, and decide whether the character orientation follows the image or the motion video.
Workflow
How to create Motion Control videos
1
Choose a motion reference
Select a demo from the motion library or upload your own reference video.
2
Upload your character photo
Add the image that defines the person, outfit, style, or character identity.
3
Generate the video
Pick duration, resolution, orientation, and source audio, then submit the Motion Control task.
Visual guide
See how motion transfer works before you generate
These examples explain the full Motion Control flow: start from a still image, pair it with a motion reference, and preview the kind of structured movement you can recreate with a new character.
02
Pair it with a readable motion reference
The best reference clips have obvious full-body rhythm, clear pose changes, and consistent framing so the model can copy the movement cleanly.
03
Preview motion-driven outcomes fast
Use short previews to judge body rhythm, pacing, and pose accuracy before you commit to longer or higher-resolution Motion Control renders.
Use Motion Control when you care about matching movement. If you only want subtle animation or cinematic camera motion, prompt-based image-to-video is usually faster.

FAQ
Motion Control questions
What is Motion Control AI video?
Motion Control uses a reference video to guide how a character moves, while the uploaded image defines the character appearance.
Can I use the built-in demos instead of uploading a video?
Yes. Selecting a motion demo counts as the required motion video. Uploading your own video replaces the selected demo.
What do I need to upload?
You need one character image plus either a selected motion demo or one uploaded motion video.
Can I keep the reference video audio?
The selected model supports a keep-source-audio option when source audio is useful for the generated motion clip.
