Create an AI motion video

Upload a clear portrait and a reference action clip. Animaker recreates that movement on your subject.

Credits remaining
Generation inputs
One photo and one reference clip make one video and use one credit.

Generation mode

Choose how the reference clip contributes to the result.

Apply the reference movement to the person in your photo and preserve the photo composition.

Three rules decide your result

  • The photo supplies the face — one person, a face clear and large enough, hands empty
  • The reference video supplies the motion — one performer, steady camera, 3–10 seconds
  • When you retry, change one thing at a time

Why AI video generation fails — and how to get better results

Character photo

Face clear and large enough in frame, both hands empty. Holding a phone, bag or anything else badly distorts the motion.

Reference video

One visible subject, steady camera, full or upper body inside the frame. Best first attempt: 3–10 seconds.

Limits: photo JPG/PNG/WebP up to 20 MB · video MP4/MOV up to 50 MB and 15 seconds.

Example result
A portrait plus a real action clip produces a reusable motion video.

Create your video

One simple workflow

From two files to a finished motion video

Upload, generation, storage, and automatic refunds — all in one workspace.

01

Upload photo and motion reference

Pick a clear portrait and a short clip whose movement you want to recreate. Files go straight to secure private storage.

02

The engine recreates the motion

Choose motion transfer or person replacement. The task runs and tracks itself automatically.

03

Review and download

Finished MP4s appear in your task history. If a task fails, its credit is refunded automatically.

No prompts. No subscription.

Upload two files. Get the movement you asked for.

Pay per video from $0.30, no subscription. If a task cannot finish, the credit comes back automatically.

It's still your photo

General video models generate a new person from your description. Here the face, skin and clothing come from your photo — only the motion is new.

No prompt to figure out

A sentence is a clumsy way to describe a dance. Upload a photo and a clip of the movement: the clip is the instruction.

Up to 60 seconds

Reference clips run to 60 seconds here, so a full dance, a product demo or a spoken line fits in one generation instead of a five-second fragment.

Two ways to use it

Move the motion onto your photo, or keep the original scene and camera move and swap in your own performer.
