How to Use Motion Control in AIVideoControl

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, or WebP)
• Upload a motion reference clip (MP4, MOV, or MKV)

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 image
• video: 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 available
• failed: 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
