Motion Control AI: Transfer Video Motion to Any Image
Upload a reference video and any image. Our AI extracts the motion and applies it to animate your image naturally. Perfect for dance videos, character animation, and creative content. Free to start, works on any device.
Tips for Best Results
Follow these guidelines to get high-quality motion transfer
Match Body Proportions
Full-body video requires full-body image. Half-body video requires half-body image. Mismatched proportions cause distortion.
Choose Moderate Speed Motion
Avoid fast movements. Steady, moderate-speed actions produce the best results. Complex or rapid motions may result in shorter output videos.
Use Stable Reference Videos
Avoid videos with cuts or camera movements. Static camera with clear subject works best.
Leave Space for Movement
For large movements, ensure your image has enough empty space around the character for natural motion.
Transfer Any Motion to Your Image
Upload Reference Video
Choose a video with clear, steady motion. Best results: moderate speed, minimal camera movement, single person visible. Supports MP4, MOV (3-30 seconds, up to 100MB).
Add Your Image (Match Body Proportions!)
IMPORTANT: Match body proportions! Full-body video requires full-body image. Half-body video requires half-body image. Ensure the character is clearly visible with space to move.
Generate & Download
AI transfers the motion to your image. Generation takes 1-6 minutes depending on video length. Download in MP4 format, ready for social media.
Motion Control AI FAQ
What is motion control AI?
Motion control AI transfers movement from a reference video to a static image. The AI analyzes how objects move in your video - dance moves, gestures, expressions - and applies that same motion to animate your uploaded image naturally.
Why does my output look distorted?
The most common cause is mismatched body proportions. If your reference video shows a full-body person, your image must also show the full body. Using a full-body video with a half-body image will cause distortion. Always match: full-body with full-body, half-body with half-body.
Why is my output video shorter than the reference video?
If the motion is too complex or too fast, the AI may only extract part of the motion, resulting in a shorter output. To avoid this, use reference videos with moderate speed and simpler movements. The minimum extractable motion duration is 3 seconds.
What makes a good reference video?
Best reference videos have: 1) Single person clearly visible, 2) Moderate movement speed, 3) No cuts or camera movements, 4) Large motion range but minimal position displacement. Avoid videos with fast movements, multiple people, or shaky camera.
What types of characters can I use?
We support realistic photos, stylized characters, humanoid animals, and characters with human-like body proportions. For best results, ensure the character's full body and head are clearly visible without obstructions.
What video formats are supported?
We support MP4 and MOV video formats. Reference videos should be 3-30 seconds long and under 100MB. For images, we accept JPG, PNG, and WebP up to 10MB.
How long does generation take?
Most motion-controlled videos generate in 1-6 minutes, depending on video length and motion complexity. You'll see real-time progress updates during generation.
Is motion control AI free to use?
Yes! Sign up to get free credits. No credit card required.
Do generated videos have watermarks?
Free tier videos include a small AnimateImg watermark. Paid plans remove watermarks completely and provide full commercial usage rights.
Can I use generated videos commercially?
Yes, paid subscribers can use motion-controlled videos for marketing, social media, e-commerce, and business content per our Terms of Service. Free tier is for personal and non-commercial use.
