Imagine.art: Motion transfer between video and illustration

Demo summary

A demonstration of extracting dance movements from a source video and applying them to a static character illustration using the Move and Replace nodes.

Step-by-step

  1. Upload a source video containing the motion you want to capture
  2. Upload a character reference image or illustration
  3. Add a motion transfer node to the workspace
  4. Select the desired motion method (Replace, Move, Runway Act-Two, or Moon Valley)
  5. Connect the character image and reference video to the node
  6. Click Run to generate the animation

Options

  • Use 'Replace' to keep the original video structure while applying the character's style
  • Use 'Move' to make the static illustration perform the motion from the reference video
  • Use 'Runway Act-Two' or 'Moon Valley' as alternative motion transfer engines

Watch out for

  • The 'Replace' node does not alter the original video much and functions more like a style transfer

Tips

  • Use a trimmed video of the specific motion to ensure timings are hit correctly
  • The 'Move' node is generally more effective than 'Runway Act-Two' for maintaining character coherence

Highlights

It's quite quite impressive.
