Motion Control AI

Drive motion with image + reference video from the movement.

Match a character’s look from a still and motion from a reference clip — useful for consistent performances and prototypes.

Reference image

Choose a clear subject image that meets the displayed dimensions and format limits.

Motion reference

Use a supported video whose action and framing are easy to read.

Character orientation

Select Image or Video orientation according to the subject you need to match.

Output resolution

Choose from the resolution options exposed for the selected model.

Where it fits

Prototype character motion from references

Motion control is useful when appearance and movement come from different source materials.

Performance studies

Explore how a character reads with a specific gesture or pace.

Character concepts

Test movement while retaining the visual reference as a guide.

Choreography drafts

Review a movement direction before a more involved animation workflow.

Creative previsualization

Prototype timing and framing for a planned scene.

Reference craft

Choose references that agree with each other

Readable subjects, compatible framing, and plausible motion give the workflow a clearer target.

  1. 1Use a clearly visible subjectAvoid heavy occlusion when body shape or clothing needs to remain recognizable.
  2. 2Match framing where practicalA reference image and motion video with compatible subject scale reduce ambiguity.
  3. 3Prefer physically readable motionSimple, continuous movement is easier to follow than abrupt cuts or blocked limbs.
  4. 4Keep the optional prompt focusedUse it for preservation or quality constraints rather than a competing action.

Before you create

Motion transfer still requires interpretation

Identity, limb motion, timing, and processing time vary with both references, the selected mode, settings, and traffic.

References shape the result

Clarity and compatibility matter across both source files.

Preview for consistency

Check identity, anatomy, framing, and timing in the completed result.
