The prompt used for this example
The adult dancer makes one slow graceful half-turn, her burgundy dress flowing outward, then softly lowers her arms. Natural coherent anatomy and stable face. Keep full body in frame, fixed camera, no cuts.
The prompt describes the motion. New generations can vary; the workspace shows the current credit quote for your selected settings.
Try this prompt with your photo →Match the input to the motion
A close-up portrait suits a gentle head turn, while a dance needs the arms and legs to be visible. Our example starts from a full-body image and asks for a controlled turn rather than a complex routine.
Write a short action sequence
Describe the subject first, then one action and the camera behavior. Keep the background simple. If the face changes during a turn, reduce the angle or shorten the requested movement instead of adding many conflicting instructions.
Use images with permission
Use your own image or obtain permission from the people shown. The example input is an AI-generated illustration. Review faces, hands and clothing throughout the clip; this tool does not guarantee identity preservation.
