Every clip starts from zero
Short video sells, and every feed wants more of it than you can film. A crew, an edit and a re-export per aspect ratio for one product, then again for the next.
Most catalogs never get a clip at all. The still photo is the only asset that exists.
The problem isn't filming. It's that every clip starts from nothing when the photo already exists.
How AI Motion Control works
Upload the motion you want
Drop in a clip of the movement to copy — a dance, a walk, a gesture. It needs a real person with their head and upper body visible and unobstructed, between 3 and 30 seconds long.
Upload the character
One image of the character who should perform that movement. Clear body proportions, no heavy occlusion, and the character should fill more than about 5% of the frame.
Choose the orientation and generate
Match the character's facing to the video for complex motion (up to 30s) or to the image for camera movement (up to 10s). Add an optional line describing the action, then generate.
What you can do with AI Motion Control
Start from the character image, still
No filming, no crew, no edit timeline. The image you have is the whole input.
Make any character copy the movement in a reference clip — your image supplies the look, the video supplies the motion
AI Motion Control does one thing, and this is it. The settings above the button are the only choices to make.
Keep the subject recognisable in motion
Shape and colors come from the photo, so what moves is your product or person, not a redrawn version.
Match the placement
Check the aspect ratio and resolution options before you generate; where the tool offers them, they set the shape of the clip and its price.
Know the cost before it runs
Video is priced per clip in credits, shown on the button before you generate. Longer or higher-resolution settings cost more where a tool offers them.
Use it in ads and on product pages
Every plan includes commercial usage rights. Video generation needs paid credits; the free starting credits cover the image tools.
Why use AI Motion Control
Motion transferred, appearance kept
The output follows the reference clip's actions frame by frame while the character, clothing and background stay as they are in your image.
Identity preservation
Bind a face reference and the character's facial identity is held across the whole clip instead of drifting as the pose changes.
Original audio kept
The reference clip's soundtrack carries through by default, so the movement still lands in time with the music. Turn it off for a silent export.
Clips up to 30 seconds
Long enough for a full short-form beat rather than a three-second loop, at Kling V3 Pro output quality.
What is Motion Control?
Motion Control is MotionArt's tool to make any character copy the movement in a reference clip — your image supplies the look, the video supplies the motion.
It takes the character image plus face reference for identity and a one-sentence description of what you want, and returns a short video clip. Accepted uploads are PNG, JPG or WEBP, and a phone photo works.
Motion is generated from the still; the subject's shape and colors come from the photo, so what moves is your product or person, not a redrawn version of it.
Each run costs the credit price shown on the button before you generate, and a run that fails is not charged. Every plan includes commercial usage rights. Video generation needs paid credits, from a one-time pack or any plan; the free starting credits cover the image tools.
Use it on your own photos or on people who have agreed. Every person in a result must be an adult, and AI Motion Control is not for celebrities or for anyone who has not consented.
AI Motion Control vs a video crew
AI Motion Control replaces a video crew for volume, variants and turnaround. It does not replace it for long-form or scripted footage, and the table says so. MotionArt figures are this tool's live credit price and the plans as of September 29, 2026.

What AI Motion Control costs
Every tool draws from one credit balance. The plans below are the whole price list; the credit cost of this tool sits on the button before you generate.

Questions before you generate
Two things: an image of the character whose appearance you want, and a video of the movement you want copied. Both are required.
