Node reference
Motion Control
Two inputs, one clip: a character image decides who appears, a motion reference video decides how they move.
Last reviewed October 25, 2026
Motion transfer, not generation from words
Motion Control takes the movement from one clip and gives it to a picture. The character image says who is in the shot; the motion reference video says what they do. There is no prompt, no ratio and no duration to set, because the output follows the reference: its length comes from the usable motion in the video.
It is a dedicated node rather than a mode of Video Generate because it runs on its own engine family, with its own two inputs and its own price.
Animate a character
- 1
Add Motion Control
Find it in the Generative group and add it to the canvas. - 2
Give it the character
Upload a picture into Character or wire an Image Input, an Image Preview or a Model Generator result. - 3
Give it the motion
Upload a clip into Motion video or wire a Video Input. The person in it provides the movement; their look is not used. - 4
Choose the orientation
Follow video keeps the video's framing, up to 30 seconds. Follow image keeps the picture's framing, up to 10 seconds. - 5
Set resolution and audio
720p or 1080p, and whether the reference clip's sound is kept. - 6
Press Run
The button quotes the price from the motion length. The clip lands in a Video Preview.

Priced by the seconds you get
With Batch Run: one motion, many characters
Wire a Batch Run straight into Motion Control and every picture in the set becomes the character in turn, each animated with the same reference motion. Fifty product shots can walk, turn or wave the same way in one run.
