Tips for Better Motion Transfer
Reference video matters most — pick a clip with a single subject, plain background and clear body silhouette.
Target photo should match the reference framing (full body / upper body / portrait) for clean motion mapping.
Turn camera motion on for cinematic shots; turn pose strength down if motion feels exaggerated.
Generation typically takes 90-240 seconds depending on aspect ratio and duration; your task is saved in history.

Why Motion Transfer Beats Other Pose-Transfer Tools
Single Photo Input
Other tools need multiple angles or a 3D rig. Motion Transfer works from one well-framed photo.
Built-in Camera Motion
Most pose-transfer tools only mimic body motion. Motion Transfer adds cinematic camera moves on top — no After Effects needed.
Fine-grained Tuning
Independent pose, expression and camera-motion sliders give you precise control over the final look.
Multi-Aspect Native Output
9:16, 1:1 and 16:9 are first-class outputs — no cropping or letterboxing required for social posts.
Commercial Use Ready
Pro users get full commercial rights for every Motion Transfer video they create.
Privacy First
Reference videos, photos and outputs stay private to your account — never resold, never used for training.
