Motion Sync

Make Any Character Move Exactly How You Want

Ever tried making an AI video from a photo, only to watch your character flail around randomly? Or worse – their face melts halfway through? Yeah, that's frustrating.

Somake's Motion Sync fixes this problem. Instead of letting AI guess how your character should move, you show it exactly what you want. Upload a reference video of someone dancing, waving, or doing literally any action – and Motion Sync transfers those movements onto your image. Your character stays looking like themselves. The motion stays precise.

How to Use Motion Sync

1. Pick your character image

   Any photo or illustration works. Just make sure arms, legs, and hands are visible if you need them to move.

2. Upload a reference video

   Film yourself, grab a clip from your camera roll, or use any video with the movements you want. Keep it between 3-30 seconds. Your output video will match this length exactly.

3. Add text prompt (optional)

   Describe background changes, lighting adjustments, or visual style preferences.

4. Choose character orientation

   Select whether the output should match the video's camera angle or preserve your image's original framing.

5. Click Generate

Tips for Best Results

General

• Match your shots – close-up reference needs a close-up image, full-body needs full-body.

Character Image

• Fill the frame – Your character should be prominent, not tiny in a corner.

• Show what needs to move – If the motion involves arms, make sure arms are visible in your image.

• Leave room to move – Big motions need empty space around your character.

• Keep poses normal – Avoid upside-down, lying down, or other extreme angles.

Reference Video

• Trim it down – Only include the exact movement you want.

• Keep it clean – Clear subjects and simple backgrounds work best.

• One person is ideal – Multiple people? The AI follows whoever takes up the most space in frame.

Workflow

After you generate:

• Add music or voiceover in your favorite editing app

• Color grade to match your brand or aesthetic

• Stitch multiple clips together for longer sequences

Top Use Cases

Virtual Brand Mascots

Got a company character that only exists as a still image? Now you can animate a photo of them using real human movements. Record a team member waving, dancing, or presenting – then transfer that motion to your mascot. Same character, endless content.

Training and Educational Videos

Need to create the same training video in multiple languages with different avatar presenters? Film the gestures once, then apply that motion to different characters. One shoot, many outputs.

Social Media Content Creation

There's a new dance trend every week. Instead of learning choreography yourself, find a reference clip and transfer those moves to your custom character. Your content stays fresh without you having to actually dance (unless you want to).
