+What is motion transfer?
AI motion transfer copies the movement of one video onto another person or scene. The model reads the body movements, gestures, expressions, timing and camera of a reference clip, then regenerates the shot with the people and places from your reference images. Unlike a face swap, the whole person is rebuilt, so face, hair, body and outfit match your photo.

Motion transfer vs face swap vs image-to-video.
Three ways to get a person into a video, and what each one keeps.
| Motion transfer | Face swap | Image-to-video | |
|---|---|---|---|
| You provide | A clip or a template + a photo | A clip + a face | A photo + a prompt |
| Motion comes from | The reference clip, frame by frame | The original clip | The model’s imagination |
| Face, hair, body, outfit | All from your photo | Face only; body and clothes stay | All from your photo |
| Camera and timing | Copied from the clip | Copied from the clip | Described in the prompt |
| Best for | Trends, dances, recasting ads and scenes | Quick face replacements | New shots from scratch |
| On Nano Banana | Motion Transfer (Wan 3.0) | Not offered | Image to video (Seedance, MiniMax H3, FLUX 3) |
