Give your character a performance to follow with Video to Video AI. Pair a short motion reference with a character image, then explore a new dance, gesture or expressive moment. Compare the reference and generated result side by side before developing your next idea.
Animate a characterMotion control connects two creative inputs: a video supplies the movement, while an image introduces the character you want to animate. Try a drawing, mascot, stylized portrait or original character with a readable performance. The reference helps guide the action; the result is a new generation, so faces, clothing, backgrounds and fine details can vary.
Begin with a short sample and one clear subject. Use the three-panel examples above to see the relationship between motion, appearance and output. Play the two videos together to inspect timing, then change one input at a time. A smaller experiment makes it easier to spot what works before spending credits on a longer performance.
Explore a rotating selection of videos and images from Kize’s published creative library. These examples use different creation workflows and offer ideas for character design, composition and visual style. They are inspiration for your next experiment; the motion-transfer comparisons are shown in the generator above.

Select a motion thumbnail or upload your own MP4 or MOV. Uploaded clips must be 3–30 seconds and no larger than 32 MB. A steady view, visible limbs and one main performer give you a clearer reference to work with. Avoid starting with rapid cuts or several overlapping people.
Upload a clear image of the character you want to animate. Match the image’s framing to the movement: a full-body action benefits from visible legs and arms, while a small facial gesture can use a closer portrait. Choose an enabled Motion Control model and the output quality available for that model.
Add a prompt describing the intended scene, character styling or camera treatment. Check the Required Credits value before generating; it changes with your selected model, output quality and reference duration. After submission, open Your results to review the finished clip and decide which input to refine.
Start with a wave, a turn, a short dance or another movement you can recognize at a glance. Keep the same reference when comparing two character images, or keep the same image when testing another motion. This makes the differences easier to interpret.
Use the output as a creative iteration. Look for recognizable gestures, consistent appearance and a scene that supports the performance. Save the version that fits your idea, then refine the image, reference or prompt for the next pass.
Pair a short dance with an illustrated character or a different outfit. Review the pose changes and body rhythm before adding a more elaborate setting. Reusing one reference helps you compare how each character handles the same performance.
Explore a greeting, celebration or playful turn for a mascot. Start with a character image whose silhouette is easy to recognize, then check whether the movement still reads clearly at the size you plan to share.
Try a small head movement or hand gesture with a portrait. Keep the face visible in both inputs and inspect the result for changes to facial features, hair and hands. Subtle motion is a useful starting point for a character introduction.
Test one performance with several character designs to explore a scene’s mood. Treat each result as an individual concept clip; compare framing, styling and motion before choosing a direction for a larger sequence.
Good input choices make the result easier to judge. The upload checks confirm file properties, but they cannot tell you whether a performance is visually clear.
Choose a reference with one subject, a steady camera and a clear outline. Hands or feet disappearing behind objects can make an action harder to interpret. If the gesture is the important part, avoid a reference where camera movement dominates it.
Use a character image with enough visible body for the action you want. A tightly cropped face gives little information about a full-body dance. Similar proportions and an unobstructed pose are useful starting points, although they do not guarantee an exact match.
Keep your prompt focused on appearance, setting and the visual treatment you want to explore. The video already supplies a movement reference. Conflicting instructions about the action or camera can make it harder to understand why a result changed.
Watch the whole clip for drifting features, awkward hands, clothing changes and abrupt motion. Compare the start, middle and end instead of judging one attractive frame. If something is unclear, simplify the reference or try a more readable character image.
Yes. Choose one of the ten motion thumbnails, add your character image and review the current credit quote. You can inspect the motion comparisons without signing in; uploading your own files and submitting a generation require an account.
Motion pricing rounds the detected duration up to the next whole second. The displayed quote uses that rounded duration, the selected model and output quality.
It checks the video file’s readable track, dimensions, duration and aspect ratio. Resolution describes pixel size; it does not prove that a recording is sharp or well lit. Review the subject and movement yourself before using the clip.
The workflow uses a motion reference and a separate character image to create a new video. It does not promise to preserve every frame, background detail or facial feature from either input. Use the result as a new interpretation of the performance.
You can experiment with a drawing, stylized portrait or character design. Choose a clear subject and framing suited to the reference action. Unusual anatomy, hidden limbs or a very different body shape may make the movement less consistent.
The selector shows the Motion Control models enabled for Kize. Available output qualities and quotes depend on the selected model. Start with a short reference, review the displayed settings and credit estimate, then compare results before choosing a workflow for a larger project.
No. The three-input comparisons in the generator demonstrate motion control. The creative inspiration section draws randomly from Kize’s published image and video library and can include other models and workflows. Each card lets you inspect its result and available prompt.
Choose a short, easy-to-read movement and a clear character image. Check body shape, gestures and facial appearance separately when reviewing the result.
