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.

04 / How it works

Their moves, your video.

STEP 1

Pick the motion

Choose a trending motion in the Motion Library, or upload a dance, an ad or a movie moment (2.5 to 15 seconds, one continuous shot).

STEP 2

Add your photo

A clear, front-facing photo is Image 1, the person who takes the lead role. Add up to three more for an outfit, a product or a place.

STEP 3

Generate

Pick 480p, 720p or 1080p. About 10 minutes later, download the MP4 with the same moves, timing and camera, starring you.

07 / FAQ

Motion transfer AI FAQ

What is AI motion transfer?
AI motion transfer copies how things move in a reference video (body movements, gestures, facial expressions, timing and camera moves) and applies that motion to a different person or scene taken from reference images. The whole person is regenerated, so their face, hair, body and outfit follow the photo while the performance follows the video.
How do I put myself in a video with AI?
Open Motion Transfer in your Nano Banana dashboard, upload the clip whose motion you want (2.5 to 15 seconds), add a clear photo of yourself as Image 1, keep “Put me in the video” selected and press Transfer motion. About 10 minutes later you get the same shot, with the same moves and camera, starring you.
Is motion transfer the same as a face swap?
No. A face swap only replaces the face and keeps the original body, hair and clothes. Motion transfer regenerates the entire person from your photo and keeps only the motion, timing and camera of the clip, so the result looks like you performed it.
What is the best motion transfer AI?
It depends on the job. Nano Banana Motion Transfer runs Wan 3.0 reference-to-video from one photo inside a multi-model studio with flat plans. Kling Motion Control, Viggle, Runway Act-Two, Higgsfield Genjutsu and the open-source Wan 2.2 Animate are other options; we compare them in our Genjutsu alternatives guide.
Can I keep the moves but change the whole scene?
Yes. Choose “New scene, same motion”, add your photos and describe the new cast, place and style. The motion and camera of the clip are kept and everything else is rebuilt. You can add up to three extra references for an outfit, a product or a location.
How long can the video be?
The reference clip can last 2.5 to 15 seconds, in MP4, MOV or WebM, and the result has the same length. Export in 480p, 720p or 1080p, in the same format as your clip or in 9:16, 16:9, 1:1, 4:3 or 3:4.
How much does motion transfer cost?
Motion Transfer uses 6 credits per second of clip, whatever the quality: it renders in 480p, and 720p or 1080p is reached with our upscaler at no extra cost. A 10-second clip uses 60 credits. Plans start at €19.99/mo with 1,000 credits, cancel anytime, and failed runs are refunded automatically.
Is there a free motion transfer AI?
The open-source Wan 2.2 Animate model is free to run if you have a capable GPU and set up ComfyUI yourself. Hosted tools, including Nano Banana, need a paid plan because each render runs on cloud GPUs.
Do I need my own video?
No. The Motion Library has ready-made motions (trending dances, sport, party entrances, movie-style scenes): pick one, add your photo and generate. You can also upload any clip of 2.5 to 15 seconds.
Can I use someone else’s face?
Only with their permission. Use photos of yourself or of people who agreed to appear in your video, and never use motion transfer to impersonate or mislead. Generations go through a content safety filter.

Same moves. Starring you.

Motion Transfer is included in every plan, from €29 €19.99/mo. Cancel anytime.
