Motion Transfer

How to use Motion Transfer to apply the motion from an existing video to a newly generated video.

Updated over a month ago

What Is Motion Transfer?

Motion Transfer uses a 'conditioning video' - an input video that serves as a motion reference - to influence how your generated video will move.
​

You can use Motion Transfer with a text prompt to generate content that closely mirrors the motion and composition of your conditioning video, or use it in conjunction with an image to either drive movement within the selected image or re-style an image to create a style transfer driven by the motion of the conditioning video.
​

How It Works

Step 1: Access Motion Transfer

  1. Navigate to your main dashboard

  2. Select Motion transfer
    ​

Step 2: Upload Your Conditioning Video

  1. Click Upload Video to upload your motion conditioning video (i.e. the video that contains the motion you want to transfer)

  2. Supported formats include MP4, MOV, and other common video formats. Note: Videos longer than 5s will be trimmed to only use the first 5s

  3. Select from existing media or upload a new video

Step 3: Configure Your Generation Settings

For Text-to-Video:

  1. Enter your text prompt describing what you want to generate

  2. The AI will create content matching your prompt while following the motion patterns from your conditioning video

For Image-to-Video:

  1. Upload both your conditioning video AND your input image as a starting keyframe

  2. Your static image will be animated according to the motion in your conditioning video

Step 4: Adjust Advanced Settings

  1. (Optional) Adjust Motion range or Motion intensity to test different strengths of how the control is applied if you're not happy with the results.

Step 5: Generate and Review

  1. Click "Generate" to start the process

  2. Monitor the generation progress

  3. Once complete, review your video in the preview player

  4. Download or save your final video
