Copy Motion From One Video to Another With AI: Give Your Moves to Any Character
Motion transfer means taking the movement from one video and giving it to a different person or character. You dance, laugh or wave in front of your phone, and a character from a picture does exactly that, with the same timing. ShareGreet does this with Restyle my video, in the Use my character way.
What gets copied
- Your body moves and timing
- Hand gestures
- Facial expressions and mouth movements
- Your original sound stays, so a dance to a song is still a dance to that song
The character keeps its own look, so there is no look to choose. The face is matched closely, but not exactly.
How to do it
- Film a clip of 3 to 15 seconds. One person, whole body in view, a steady camera and good light.
- Open the + button and tap Restyle my video. Choose your clip.
- Switch to Use my character. Pick one of the 37 ready characters, one you saved, or your own picture.
- Add a short note if you like, such as 'gentle smile, skirt swinging softly'. Confirm the video is yours and tap make.
- Leave the app. It takes 10 to 20 minutes, and the video appears in your Profile.
Choose a clip and a character that work
| Clip | Character picture |
|---|---|
| One person, full body, steady camera | Whole body with a clear face and arms away from the body |
| A plain room and good light | A made-up or drawn character is fine |
| 12 to 15 seconds is plenty for a full dance | Close in style to your clip: doll-like for a cartoon dance, realistic for a real-person clip |
Motion transfer or redraw?
Restyle has two ways. Use my character gives your moves to a character. Redraw my video keeps the same room and people but draws everything in a look such as 3D, clay, watercolour, anime or pop art. Read Restyle, two ways, step by step to compare them.
