How much does a motion video cost?

There is no free tier — every run is billed per second of the reference video: Standard runs 24 credits per second, Pro 40. A longer clip costs more, and the exact price is always shown before you submit.

What is AI motion control?

It lets you decide exactly how a still photo moves: you upload a photo and a reference video of motion — your own footage or a preset — and the AI re-renders the person or character in the photo performing those moves. The identity stays with the photo; the motion comes from your clip.

What is the difference between Standard and Pro?

Both follow your reference footage for the full length of the clip. Standard delivers smooth, social-ready motion at a lower rate; Pro keeps tighter whole-body synchronization and finer detail through fast turns and footwork. The estimate is shown before you run.

Which reference videos work best?

One clearly visible person, full body in frame, steady camera, even light — the cleaner the movement reads, the cleaner it transfers. Clips run 2–30 seconds and up to 100 MB. Heavy camera shake, people crossing the frame and hard cuts are the usual reasons a result looks off. If no person is clearly visible, the run is declined and refunded.

Which photos work best?

Full-body photos, head to shoes, with one subject facing the camera — arms and legs unobstructed. Half-body crops, side poses, seated poses, groups and dark or blurry photos are the usual reasons a result looks off. Characters work too, as long as the body reads like a body.

Which files can I use?

Reference video: MP4, MOV, 2–30 seconds, up to 100 MB — or a preset from the wall, which needs no upload at all. Photo: JPEG, PNG or WEBP up to 5 MB. Files outside these limits are declined before upload, so you are never charged for a file that never ran.

What happens if a run fails?

Credits are returned to your balance automatically — a failed run never stays charged. Uploads are checked before anything runs, so a file outside the limits never costs you anything.

Whose photo and footage can I use?

Only material you hold the rights to. You need the necessary rights and permissions for the photos and videos you upload, and you may never use someone's likeness without authorization. Responsibility for what you upload rests with you.

You film the moves, your photo performs them

Upload a photo — a person or a character — plus any clip of movement: gestures, a walk, a sport move, a performance. Your subject follows your footage move for move, face and outfit intact. MP4 or MOV up to 100 MB, 2–30 seconds, billed per second of the reference video.

What AI motion control does

It puts you in charge of how a still photo moves. You upload a photo — a person or a character, full body works best — and a reference video of movement: hand gestures, a walk and turn, a tai chi form, a sport move, anything you can film, MP4 or MOV between 2 and 30 seconds and up to 100 MB. The AI reads the motion from your footage and re-renders the subject of your photo performing it — arms, legs, turns and footwork follow your clip, while the face, clothes and likeness stay theirs. Rather not film anything? The preset wall has moves ready to go.

Two tiers decide how the motion lands. Standard follows your footage with smooth motion — quick and lighter on credits. Pro keeps tighter whole-body sync and sharper detail through fast sequences. Both bill per second of the reference video at 24 credits per second on Standard, and the exact price is always shown before you submit.

Here specifically for dance? The AI Dance Generator leads with a wall of preset dance templates. Want the person in your photo to copy someone else instead? That is AI Mimic Motion. Either way, the clip you make carries straight on into the AI Video Editor or the AI Video Generator.

How to control the motion of a photo

Three steps from a still photo to a motion you directed

Add your photo

Drop in a full-body photo — one subject facing the camera, arms and legs visible. JPEG, PNG or WEBP; a sample photo is one click away if you just want to see it work.

Bring the motion and pick a tier

Upload your own clip of movement — MP4 or MOV, 2–30 seconds, up to 100 MB — or pick a preset from the wall. Then choose Standard for smooth motion or Pro for tighter sync. The estimated credits are shown before you run anything.

Compare and download

Every result plays side by side with the reference in a before/after slider. Download the MP4 when the motion lands right.
