DomoAIChoose the character image
The clearest full-body shot you have. Drawings, character sheets, and 3D renders all work; a plain background gives the cleanest silhouette to animate.
Workflow: character to video
Character to Video: Motion Transfer for Any Character
Character to video is motion transfer, not puppeteering: you bring one image of a character - a photo, a drawing, a mascot - and one clip that shows how it should move. The model rebuilds the character inside that motion, so a single portrait can walk, dance, and throw a punch without extra rigging.

Three Steps from Input to Finished Clip
Every DomoAI workflow starts from a prompt and an optional reference file. Nothing has to be rebuilt by hand.
Attach the motion reference
Pick a clip that shows the move - a walk cycle, a dance, a stick-figure animation - or choose from the motion templates. The reference only supplies movement, never looks.
Generate the scene
Render the character in motion, check that hair and outfit details survived the transfer, then export and reuse the same reference for the next shot in the sequence.
How This Workflow Compares
DomoAI workflows differ by the material you already have. Pick the one that matches it.
| Workflow | What you provide | Good for |
|---|---|---|
| Character to video | One character photo plus a motion clip | Dance, walk, and action loops with a consistent character |
| Groove dance | One photo plus a dance clip | Trend-following dance loops with built-in routines |
| Talking avatar | One portrait plus a script or audio | Dialogue and lip-sync when the character should speak |
| Video to video | Existing footage plus a style reference | Restyling real footage instead of animating a character |
Questions About This Workflow
Answers about inputs, limits, resolution, and how credits are used.
What image makes the best character?+
A sharp, evenly lit shot with the full silhouette visible. Character sheets and clean illustrations have an edge because the model can read the outfit unambiguously - busy backgrounds and heavy motion blur are the main causes of a soft result.
How many characters can move in one scene?+
One character takes the lead per generation. Composite scenes with several characters are built by generating each motion and combining the takes, or by using Omni Reference to hold a shared style across them.
Do fine details like accessories survive?+
Face, hair, and costume colours come through reliably. Very small elements - earrings, straps, lens flares - can shimmer during fast moves; keep the reference motion smooth or plan a retake for hero shots.
How long can the motion clip be?+
Up to 15 seconds of reference per generation, and the rendered clip can run from 5 seconds. For longer choreography, generate sections with the same character image and cut them together.
