Character tests, concept animation, and previsualization
Turn a strong still image into a moving character test for story development, pitch decks, visual development, and early scene approval.
AI Motion Control
Animate a character image with motion from a reference video
Upload a reference video and a character image to create a motion-controlled clip.
Tips for better results
- Use a clear face image with head, shoulders, and torso visible.
- Choose a reference video with readable movement and a clearly framed subject.
- Keep the subject size and framing reasonably similar between the image and video.
Reference video
MP4 or MOV, 3s to 10s for `image` orientation, up to 30s for `video`.
Reference image
JPG or PNG, max 10MB, minimum 340px, aspect ratio between 2:5 and 5:2.

AI motion control
Animate a character image with movement from a reference video
Upload one character image and one reference video to create a new clip that follows the performance, pose changes, and camera energy of the source while keeping the character anchored to the uploaded image. This workflow is useful when you want expressive movement without rebuilding the whole scene from scratch.
Popular motion-control use cases
Short-form social hooks and ad variations
Reuse one approved character image while trying different motion references for promos, teasers, landing-page loops, and social creatives.
Creator-led performance transfer
Use a readable source performance to guide turns, gestures, and pacing when you want a stylized character or branded subject to inherit that movement.

FAQ
What kind of character image works best?
Choose a clear image where the subject is easy to read, ideally with the head, shoulders, and torso visible. Clean framing makes it easier to preserve identity while motion is applied.
When should I use image orientation versus video orientation?
Use image orientation when you want the result to stay closer to the uploaded character image. Use video orientation when you want the reference performance to drive stronger turns, angles, and body movement.
What makes a good reference video?
The best results usually come from clips with one clearly framed subject, readable motion, and limited cuts. Try to keep the subject scale and framing reasonably similar to the character image.
