Motion & animation

AI Motion Designer Plan a shot with the AI motion designer.

Explore the AI motion guide and keyframe examples for free. In the motion editor, add a required start image, an optional end image and one action; check sign-in and generation credits before running it.

The guide and existing demonstrations are free to explore. Video generation is a separate signed-in action with model and credit requirements.

01 / A more useful starting point

Begin with a readable first and last frame

The start should explain the setup and the ending should explain the action. Keep the subject, outfit and environment compatible across the pair so the requested movement has a clear visual path.

02 / A more useful starting point

Separate subject movement from camera movement

A fixed camera and a turning subject are different directions from a camera orbit. Describe the motion you need in plain terms and check whether the selected model supports the inputs you intend to use.

Three practical starting points

Try a brief. Check the result. Tweak one thing.

Try these exercises for AI Motion Designer, with concrete details to inspect. These are suggested exercises, not recorded customer projects.

01

An archery release

Suggested brief

Plan a wide shot with a full draw followed by a release. Keep the camera still and the archer’s clothing consistent.
What to inspect
Look for a plausible transition around the bow hand, string and arm.
What to change next
Simplify the camera direction before asking for additional motion.

02

A clear running beat

Suggested brief

Plan a side-view running pose with an uncluttered background and a consistent ground line.
What to inspect
Check foot placement, body proportions and direction of travel.
What to change next
Use a shorter or simpler movement when limbs change unpredictably.
Try this workflow
03

A product gesture

Suggested brief

Plan one character lifting a plain unbranded object from a table, without a scene change.
What to inspect
Check hand contact and whether the object keeps a recognisable shape.
What to change next
Remove extra props or overlapping actions before repeating the request.

From input to a useful output

How to use AI Motion Designer

Start with a small task first, then keep the steps that help your project.

  1. 01

    Choose the action

    Describe one movement with a clear beginning and end.

    Check: Avoid several unrelated actions in a short request.

  2. 02

    Prepare permitted references

    Add a permitted start image. Add an optional compatible end image when you want to describe the final state.

    Check: Keep framing and clothing coherent.

  3. 03

    Set the motion direction

    State subject movement and camera behaviour separately.

    Check: Check the selected model’s current input support.

  4. 04

    Review the sequence

    Watch hands, limbs, props and scene continuity.

    Check: Use the available export options only after inspecting the result.

Know the boundaries

What to check before you rely on the output

  • The existing sports clip is a demonstration, not a guarantee of the timing, quality or model used for a new request.
  • Not every video model accepts two keyframes. Use only the controls exposed by the selected workflow.
  • Animation generation can change anatomy, identity and object shapes.

AI Motion Designer: your questions, answered

What should my motion brief include?

Specify the subject, one action, the beginning and ending positions, and the intended camera behaviour.

Can I keep the camera fixed?

Request a fixed camera and inspect the result. Model behaviour can still introduce movement.

Can I provide start and end images?

The linked motion editor has a required start frame and an optional end frame. Other video workflows can expose different inputs. Review the chosen options before generation.

Are the sports examples customer projects?

They are existing product demonstration assets, not customer testimonials or measured case studies.

What can I explore for free?

You can study the guide, keyframe examples and existing demonstration for free. Creating a video uses the account, model and credit conditions shown in the motion editor; this is not unlimited free generation.

How do I improve an unstable result?

Reduce simultaneous actions, simplify the camera request and check reference compatibility before generating again.
