# Motion Control

> Copy the movement, gestures, and timing from a reference video onto a character in a photo.

Motion Control takes the movement from one video, such as a dance, a gesture, or a walk, and applies it to the character in an image. The character moves exactly like the person in your reference video.

<Note>
  Motion Control is available on paid plans.
</Note>

## Make a video

<Steps>
  <Step title="Open Motion Control">
    Choose **Videos** > **Motion Control**. **How it works** at the top shows an example.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Add the reference video and the character">
    * **Upload reference video**: the movement to copy. MP4 or MOV, 3 to 30 seconds, up to 100 MB.
    * **Add character image**: the character to animate. JPEG or PNG, at least 512 × 512 pixels, up to 10 MB.

    For the best results, match the framing: a full-body video with a full-body image, or half-body with half-body.

    </Frame>
  </Step>

  <Step title="Describe the scene (optional)">
    The movement comes from the video, so use **Prompt** for everything else: the background, the setting, extra details. For example: "A corgi runs in" or "Snowy park setting".
  </Step>

  <Step title="Choose the settings">
    | Setting          | Options                                                                                                                                                              |
    | ---------------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
    | **Orientation**  | Which way the character faces. **Video** follows the reference video. **Image** keeps the direction from your image, and lets you add camera movement in the prompt. |
    | **Quality**      | **1080p** (**Pro**, the default) or **720p**.                                                                                                                        |
    | **Voice Change** | Turn on **Enable voice change** and pick a voice to change the voice in the finished video.                                                                          |
  </Step>

  <Step title="Click Generate">
    The button shows the price. The video appears in your results in a few minutes.
  </Step>
</Steps>

## Tips

* Use steady, moderate movements. Avoid fast action and camera cuts in the reference video.
* Keep the character fully visible in both the image and the video.

## Credits

Motion Control is charged per second of the reference video, rounded up: **5 credits per second at 1080p** and **2.5 at 720p**. A 10-second reference video costs 50 credits at 1080p. Until you add a video, the button shows the price for 3 seconds.
