# Motion Control

# 🎬 How do I use Motion Control?

Motion Control transfers the movement from a **reference video** onto a **character image**, making your AI character perform any action you want. The reference video controls all movement; your prompt only sets the background and scene context.

### Motion Control Steps

Follow these steps to get started:
* Go to **Video → Motion Control.**
* Upload your **motion reference video** (**3–30 seconds**).
* Click **Select Image** to upload your **character image.**
* *(Optional)* Add a **Prompt** to describe the background or scene (e.g. *"Snowy park setting"*).
* Select **Model** (Standard, or as per your plan).
* Toggle **Original Audio** on or off.
* Click **Generate Video**, then preview and download.

Tips for better results

* The reference video controls all movement, choose a clip with the exact action you want.
* Use a **full-body or half-body** character image for the best motion transfer.

🚨 If motion looks distorted, use a cleaner reference with a single person and a clear background. If the character doesn't match the movement, try an image with a neutral standing pose.
