PixVerse Motion Control Mimic is a fast AI motion transfer model that transfers motion from a reference video onto a target image to create natural character animation from a still image and motion clip. Ready-to-use REST inference API for character animation, pose transfer, reference motion videos, social media clips, advertising creatives, and professional image-to-video workflows with simple integration, no coldstarts, and affordable pricing.

Features

PixVerse Motion Control Mimic

PixVerse Motion Control Mimic transfers motion from a reference video onto a target image to generate an animated result. Upload a character or object image, provide a motion reference video, choose an output quality tier, and generate a video that follows the motion pattern of the source clip.

Why Choose This?

• Motion transfer from video Use a real motion clip to drive the movement of a static character or subject image.

• Simple two-input workflow Just provide one image and one motion reference video.

• Multiple quality tiers Choose 360p, 540p, or 720p depending on your quality and budget needs.

• Useful for stylized animation Great for turning character art, avatars, or stylized figures into motion-driven clips.

• Production-ready API Suitable for character animation, social content, concept prototyping, and motion-transfer workflows.

Parameters

How to Use

1. Upload your image — provide the character, object, or subject you want to animate.
2. Upload your motion video — provide the reference clip whose movement should be mimicked.
3. Choose quality — select 360p, 540p, or 720p.
4. Submit — run the model and download the generated animation.

Example Use Case

Animate a stylized character image using the body movement from a dance or walking reference video.

Pricing

Pricing depends on quality and reference video duration.

Billing Rules

• Billing is based on the uploaded reference video duration
• Billed duration is rounded up to the next whole second
• Minimum billed duration is 1 second
• Maximum billed duration is 30 seconds
• 360p costs $0.045 per billed second
• 540p costs $0.050 per billed second
• 720p costs $0.060 per billed second

Example Costs

Best Use Cases

• Character animation — Bring illustrated or stylized characters to life with real motion input.
• Avatar motion transfer — Apply human movement to a custom avatar image.
• Social media content — Create short animated clips from static artwork and motion footage.
• Concept prototyping — Quickly test how a character or product might move.
• Stylized performance clips — Combine real movement with a designed visual subject.

Pro Tips

• Use a clean target image with a clearly visible full body or main subject.
• Choose a motion reference video with clear, readable movement.
• Start with shorter clips when testing motion quality.
• Use 360p for quick experiments and 720p for better final output.
• Keep the reference motion simple if you want more stable results.

Notes

• Both image and video are required.
• quality defaults to 360p.
• Billing is based on the reference video duration, rounded up to the next whole second.
• Videos longer than 30 seconds are billed as 30 seconds.
• Pricing depends only on quality and billed video duration.
• Reference videos must be no longer than 30 seconds. Pricing is capped at 30 seconds only if the platform enforces or trims the input to the supported 30-second limit.
