Reference & editing workflows
AI Video Motion Transfer Guide
Motion transfer should map movement, not identity. Define which source properties are copied: timing, pose, trajectory, camera or rhythm.
Source role
Motion/timing only unless camera motion is also desired.
Target role
Identity, appearance and materials.
Anatomy
Check physical plausibility when source and target proportions differ.
Environment
Preserve target scene unless intentionally replaced.
A practical reference workflow
- Identify the exact role of every reference: identity, product, environment, motion, start frame, end frame or edit target.
- Write down the elements that must remain unchanged before describing motion or edits.
- Describe one primary change at a time: action, camera, lighting, background, style or continuation.
- End with a stable target state that can be reviewed, edited or used as the next clip reference.
