How to Use Motion Control in AIVideoControl
A practical guide to generating your first controllable AI video with Motion Control.
Overview
Motion Control lets you combine one source image, one motion reference clip, and one prompt into a generated output video.
Step 1: Upload Inputs
- Upload a source image (
JPG,PNG, orWebP) - Upload a motion reference clip (
MP4,MOV, orMKV)
Both files are uploaded through signed object-storage requests.
Step 2: Configure Prompt and Orientation
Add a prompt that describes:
- camera behavior
- subject movement
- style and quality constraints
Then choose characterOrientation:
image: preserve character from source imagevideo: prioritize the motion reference
Step 3: Generate and Poll
Submit the task. The app returns a generation ID and starts status polling until:
completed: output video is availablefailed: the provider rejected or failed the task
For signed-in users, failed tasks trigger automatic credit refunds.
Practical Tips
- Start with short motion references for cleaner results
- Keep prompt instructions specific and short
- Use template presets as a baseline, then iterate
Next Step
