How It Works

1. Upload your Image

Choose a clear portrait or full-body photo of your character.

Supported formats: JPG or PNG.

The image should show a well-lit, unobstructed face (no sunglasses or strong shadows).

Recommended minimum: 512px per side.

2. Upload your Video

Upload a video or paste a link (Instagram or TikTok) to use as the motion source.

The video defines the movement, gestures, and expressions.

Duration and frame rate are taken from the source video.

The minimum charged duration is 5 seconds.

Supported formats: MP4, MOV.

You can also enable Keep original sound to preserve audio from the source video.

3. Choose a Model

Kling 2.6 Motion Control - “Transfer movements from a reference video to any character image”

  • Duration: Up to 30s (Video Orientation)

  • Best for: Applying choreography and movements from a reference video to a subject in a character image. Ideal for complex dance moves, gestures, and full-body performances. Great for dance sequences, motion transfer, and creating consistent character animations.

  • Strengths: Extracts and transfers full motion/choreography (including complex actions, hands, facial expressions) from reference video.

    • Supports character image + reference video inputs.

    • Video Orientation mode for full motion/spatial transfer.

    • High quality for demanding choreography.

    • Options like keep_original_sound for audio preservation.

    • Strong motion fidelity and character consistency.

    • 1080p resolution.

  • Trade-offs: Requires good reference video quality (clear, unobstructed movements) and compatible character image.

  • Content notes: Safety Filters: On

Animate (may be unstable)- “Animating your photo with the same actions as in the video (motion transfer)

  • Duration: Up to 30s

  • Best for: Bringing a still character image (portrait, illustration, or design) to life by applying the exact body movements, gestures, and facial expressions from a reference video. Ideal for character performances, dance sequences, and expressive animations + all the benefits of the base model, plus additional training on a massive labeled dataset of NSFW content

  • Strengths: Strong motion fidelity with natural expressions, high identity consistency, stable output, and seamless transfer of complex actions. Supports NSFW content with filters disabled.

  • Trade-offs: Best results with well-matched composition, clear reference video (good lighting, minimal occlusion), and compatible character image.

  • Content notes: Safety Filters: Off

  • Important: the model may not be stable. We do not recommend uploading videos with long duration or poor quality. In this case, we will not be able to guarantee a normal result.

Replace (may be unstable) - “Swaps the person in the video with your person from the image”

  • Duration: Up to 30s

  • Best for: Replacing the main character in an existing video with a subject from your image while preserving the original motion, scene, lighting, and camera work. Perfect for character swaps in footage, presenter replacements, and seamless integration + all the benefits of the base model, plus additional training on a massive labeled dataset of NSFW content

  • Strengths: Maintains original scene elements and motion, strong identity preservation, realistic integration with environment and lighting. Supports NSFW content with filters disabled.

  • Trade-offs: Best results with good pose/composition matching between image and video, clean reference footage.

  • Content notes: Safety Filters: Off

  • Important: the model may not be stable. We do not recommend uploading videos with long duration or poor quality. In this case, we will not be able to guarantee a normal result.

DreamActor 2.0 - “Animating your photo with the same actions as in the video (motion transfer)”

  • Duration: Up to 30s

  • Best for: Bringing a still character image to life by applying the exact body movements, gestures, facial expressions, and lip movements from a reference video. Ideal for character performances, dance sequences, expressive animations, and multi-character scene + all the benefits of the base model, plus additional training on a massive labeled dataset of NSFW content

  • Strengths: Excellent motion fidelity and semantic understanding of movements, high identity and background consistency, strong performance with non-human and stylized characters, natural expressions, and stable output across complex actions. Supports NSFW content with filters disabled.

  • Trade-offs: Best results with well-matched composition, clear reference video (good lighting, minimal occlusion), and compatible character image.

  • Content notes: Safety Filters: Off

4. Set Resolution

Select the output video resolution.

480p/720 — for Animate/Replace models; 1080p — higher quality output for Kling 2.6 model

5. Generate

Click Generate and wait while the model processes your video.

Each generation costs credits depending on the selected duration and settings.

Your result will appear in the task list — ready to preview, download, or send downstream to Publishing.

Tips for Best Results

Match Composition & Pose
Keep the uploaded image and video aligned in camera position and body pose.
Misalignment can lead to facial distortion or frame mismatches.

Keep Aspect Ratios Consistent
If your photo and video have different aspect ratios, the AI must crop or stretch to fit.
Matching ratios gives more accurate face mapping and smoother motion.

Quality Matters
The higher the resolution and clarity of your inputs, the better the output.
Avoid blurry faces, overexposed lighting, or extreme motion blur.

Follow Template Examples
Use the built-in templates in this tool to understand what the model can realistically achieve.
They reflect the types of motion and scenes the model handles best.

Use Stable Video References
Choose videos where the camera is stable and the face remains clearly visible and centered.
Avoid complex scenes, fast movement, or frequent camera changes for more reliable results.

May be Unstable The “Animate” and “Replace” models may be unstable. Use only the high-quality materials that you add for generation, and also do not add too long video references. Otherwise, we cannot guarantee a normal result.

Output

  • Duration: taken from your uploaded video

  • Resolution: 480p/720p or 1080p

  • Format: MP4

  • Processing time: depends on video length and GPU queue

Common Questions

What happens if my video doesn’t contain a visible face?
You’ll receive an error — but your credits will be automatically refunded.

Can I upload long clips?
Yes, up 120 sec.

Why is the face flickering or changing during the video?

This can occur when:

  • the face is not clearly visible in all frames

  • the video contains fast motion or cuts

  • lighting changes significantly

For best results, use stable videos with consistent lighting and a visible face.

Why did my generation fail?

Your task may fail due to:

  • unsupported or corrupted files

  • very low-quality inputs

  • content restrictions depending on the selected model

  • unstable motion in the source video

If this happens, try simplifying your inputs and using a shorter or clearer video.

What is the difference between Animate and Kling 2.6?

  • Animate follows the motion of the video and is faster but less stable

  • Kling 2.6 provides higher quality and consistency, but uses stricter safety filters

Why is my video cut to 30 seconds?

Kling 2.6 supports a maximum duration of 30 seconds.
If your video is longer, it will be automatically clipped.

Can I use videos from Instagram or TikTok?

Yes, you can paste links directly into the tool.
Make sure the video is public and accessible.

Will I be charged if the generation fails?

No — credits for failed tasks are automatically refunded to your balance.
