Choose a clearer motion reference

Purpose and limitations

Reference-video Motion Transfer is not currently available. These checks help prepare future inputs. The available Image to Video workflow can suggest a small action from a still image, but cannot reproduce an uploaded video’s exact motion.

Start with a single performer

Pick a short shot with one visible performer and a stable camera. Frequent cuts and people crossing the frame make the intended movement ambiguous.

Match the character framing

Pair a full-body performance with a character image that shows the body clearly. Keep the body orientation reasonably similar when possible.

Keep the first direction simple

Prioritize the reference movement before requesting large scene changes. Review the framing and body motion before adjusting the background.

English prompt example

This English example describes a small action for Image to Video. It is not a motion-transfer request and does not prove reference tracking or exact movement reproduction.

The character makes a small, slow arm gesture while standing in place. Keep the full body visible, the camera locked, and the background steady. One continuous shot.

Input and result checklist

• Choose one performer in a single uninterrupted shot.
• Keep the full body visible if the movement involves arms or legs.
• Avoid cuts, heavy occlusion, rapid camera movement, and limbs leaving the frame.
• Match the character reference framing and orientation to the performer.
• Confirm a compatible video-input model before treating the reference as usable; current generation does not accept this workflow.
