Outcome
- One vertical 9:16 video with your avatar (or any photo of a person) doing the same movement as your reference clip, keeping the original audio.
Time and credits
- Total time: ~5-10 minutes.
- Credits: 18-48 cr for a 3-8 s clip on Motion standard.
Steps
1
Film the motion clip
3-30 s of yourself moving or talking, with good light and your
face visible if you want it in the result. Steady camera, close
or medium shot. Any phone works.
2
Prepare the character image
A vertical image of the character that will “perform” the clip.
It can be:
- An avatar you already have saved (see Characters).
- A real photo (yours, a client’s, etc.).
- An image generated with Image.
3
Take everything to Motion
In Create → Motion:
- CHARACTER slot: the character image.
- MOTION VIDEO slot: your motion clip.
- Prompt: optional, the clip leads.
4
Generate
The result keeps the original audio from the reference clip.
Useful when the audio was half the value of the video (talking
gestures, laughs, etc.).Cost: 6 cr/s on Motion standard, 8 cr/s on Motion Pro.
5
Download and publish
Vertical 9:16 MP4, straight to TikTok / Reels / Shorts.
Best practices
- Face visible in the motion clip: if you want the transfer to look natural, the camera has to see the face well.
- Clear movement, not too chaotic. A simple dance or a defined gesture works better than very fast motion.
- Same framing: if the reference clip is a medium shot, upload an image also at medium shot. Very different framing breaks the transfer.
- Reuse the same avatar across clips to build recognition (see Build an AI influencer).
Common mistakes
- Full-body image + close-up clip: Motion doesn’t invent a body. Match the image to the clip’s framing.
- Profile character: loses detail. Front or 3/4 always.
