# Motion Control

> Make any character copy the movement of a reference video — dances, gestures, actions.

Motion Control takes a **character image** and a **motion video** and makes a new video of your character performing that exact movement. Open **Motion Control** in the sidebar.

## Make a motion video

**1. Start from a preset — or from scratch**

**Featured presets** (⑤) such as *Baby Dancing*, *Girl Dancing* or *Spiderman Dance* fill in both the character and the motion in one click. **Browse Presets** (①) or **Browse All** shows the whole collection. Swap either half for your own afterwards.

**2. Add the character**

Under **Character › Reference Image** (④), upload an image or pick one from your **Library**: JPG, PNG or WebP, up to 20 MB and 3,850 px. Use a clear full-body or upper-body image, with nothing covering the character.

**3. Add the motion**

Under **Motion › Motion Source**, upload the video whose movement you want to copy — MP4, MOV or WebM, up to 2 minutes and 200 MB — or pick one from your **Library**.

**4. Choose the motion behavior**

In **Motion Behavior**:

* **Output Format** (②) — **Match Video** follows the motion video's framing and length (up to 30 seconds). **Match Image** keeps your character image's framing (up to 10 seconds).
* **Keep Original Sound** (③) — reuse the motion video's audio in the result.

**5. Add creative direction (optional)**

**Creative Direction** describes the setting, the lighting or the style. It influences how the result looks, not the movement itself.

**6. Check and generate**

When both halves are ready, the canvas shows them side by side:

① Character ready · ② Motion ready, with the part that will be used · ③ The result follows this format · ④ Standard or Pro · ⑤ Cost · ⑥ Generate

Choose **Standard** or **Pro** (④), check the cost (⑤) and click **Generate** (⑥). The result appears in **History** (⑦ in the first picture).

## Pricing

Motion Control is priced per second of output:

| Tier | Credits per second | Example: a 15-second dance |
| - | - | - |
| **Standard** | 4 | 61 credits |
| **Pro** — higher fidelity | 6 | 91 credits |

The minimum length is 3 seconds. The exact cost is shown before you generate, and nothing is charged until you click **Generate**.

> [!TIP]
>
> Use a motion video with **one person**, a **steady camera** and the **whole body in frame**. The closer your character image's pose is to the first frame of the motion, the cleaner the result.
