How motion control works
Prepare your inputs
You need two things:
- A still image - The subject you want to animate (a person, character, mascot, or product).
- A reference video - The motion you want to apply (a dance, a walk, a gesture, or any movement).
Provide both to the agent
Upload both the image and the reference video using the + button. Describe what you want in the prompt.
Make a character perform a dance from a reference.
Animate a product mascot with a wave gesture.
Wait for generation
The AI processes the motion reference and applies it to your image. A placeholder appears on the canvas while it generates.
Motion Control creates a new canvas item. The original image and reference video are preserved. The output video keeps the original sound from the reference video by default.
When to use this
- Making a character or mascot perform a specific dance, gesture, or action.
- Animating a product with precise, repeatable motion.
- Creating consistent motion across multiple characters using the same reference video.
- Producing social media content where a specific movement is required.
Character orientation
The agent decides whether the character’s body follows the reference video’s orientation or stays in the original image’s pose. By default, the body orientation follows the reference video for the most natural result.What you cannot do
- You cannot use motion control with a video as the subject. The subject must be a still image.
- You cannot combine motion from multiple reference videos in a single generation.
- You cannot selectively apply motion to parts of the subject (for example, only the arms).
- You cannot control the duration independently. The output matches the reference video length.
