Clone Cut AI Generator: Animate Your Character with Video Motion

Bring a still character image to life with the movement from your video. Upload both references to Clone Cut AI, choose character orientation and background, and generate a 720p or 1080p clip without animating each frame by hand. Start with a complete example to explore the result, then review the credit estimate before creating your own version.

Prepare the edit, then generate

Pair one motion video with one reference image in the same workspace.

Clone Cut AI uses Kling 3.0 Motion Control. Select 720p or 1080p, choose character orientation and background source, and add an optional scene instruction. The credit estimate follows the detected video duration.

How to make a Clone Cut AI video

Combine one motion clip with one character image, then choose how they guide the result.

  1. Upload your source

    Upload one MP4 or MOV with a clearly visible performer. Use 3–30 seconds, or no more than 10 seconds when following image orientation.

  2. Add a visual reference

    Add one JPEG or PNG showing the character clearly. Match the visible body and framing to the movement in the video.

  3. Choose orientation and background

    Select 720p or 1080p, character orientation and the background source. An optional instruction can clarify the scene; duration follows the video.

  4. Generate and compare

    Check the displayed credit estimate, submit once, then compare the output with the source. Download the take you want to keep.

Before you press generate

  • Clone Cut AI needs one motion video and one reference image; the scene instruction is optional.
  • Use JPEG or PNG up to 10 MiB and MP4 or MOV up to 100 MiB. Both dimensions must exceed 340 pixels; the aspect ratio must be between 2:5 and 5:2.
  • Video orientation accepts 3–30 seconds. Image orientation accepts 3–10 seconds. Output duration follows the source video.
  • Review the live estimate before creating. Credits depend on resolution and detected video duration rounded up to whole seconds.

Prepare a clear Clone Cut AI input

The Clone Cut AI motion-transfer guide and examples show how the video and character image work together. Prepare that input pair before adjusting the output controls.

Give every reference a purpose

Use video for Clone Cut AI motion and an image for appearance. If you need a new character, prepare a reference image with Seedream 5.0 Pro. Choose a clear performer and compatible framing so Clone Cut AI can use the visible pose and body for the source movement.

Check duration and framing together

Clone Cut AI reads the video duration; the output follows that source length. Use a 3–30 second clip with video orientation, or 3–10 seconds with image orientation. The Clone Cut AI estimate rounds the detected duration up to whole seconds, so review it before generating.

Review a Clone Cut AI result before another attempt

Watch the entire Clone Cut AI clip and identify one visible issue. Change the instruction that addresses it, keeping the useful parts of the brief.

The scene changes more than intended

Check the Clone Cut AI background source: video retains the original setting, while image uses the reference setting. Review the Motion Control 3.0 orientation and background options, then remove conflicting instructions. Keep the Clone Cut AI input pair unchanged when comparing settings.

A detail drifts during movement

Inspect the Clone Cut AI result at turns, contact points and occlusions. Simplify the requested change or use a clearer reference image. Compare the next Clone Cut AI take against the same moment in the source so you can see whether the revision actually helped.

Continue a Clone Cut AI task without duplicate submissions

Clone Cut AI keeps progress and results with the signed-in account. When a response is unclear, check the existing task before starting another paid generation.

When upload or generation reports an error

Read the Clone Cut AI message and fix the stated input, upload or balance problem. Your written instruction remains available. If Clone Cut AI already has a task in progress, follow its status instead of repeatedly pressing create; a slow response does not necessarily mean no task exists.

When returning after sign-in or credits

Clone Cut AI returns to the same language and workspace. Confirm the retained instruction and settings, then reselect any local files marked as missing. Review the updated Clone Cut AI estimate before submitting. Loading a public example fills both references and their settings without starting a paid task.

Clone Cut AI questions

What does Clone Cut AI do with my video?

Clone Cut AI transfers motion from one video to the character in one reference image using Kling 3.0 Motion Control. You can choose character orientation and whether the background comes from the video or image.

Does Clone Cut AI copy the original exactly?

Clone Cut AI generates a new performance guided by the source. Identity details, timing and movement can vary. Compare the whole clip, including turns and hand movements, before choosing a result.

Which resolutions does Clone Cut AI support?

Clone Cut AI offers 720p and 1080p. The live credit estimate uses the chosen resolution and detected source duration rounded up to whole seconds. Output length follows the motion video.

Can Clone Cut AI work without a source video?

This Clone Cut AI workflow requires both one video and one image. Use a clear 3–30 second motion clip, or 3–10 seconds for image orientation. Text is optional guidance, not a substitute for either input.

How do I change the background in Clone Cut AI?

Select the image as the Clone Cut AI background source and provide a character image in the intended setting. Select video to use the original setting. Check the result for lighting, perspective and contact with the ground.

Where does Clone Cut AI return after sign-in or a credit purchase?

Clone Cut AI returns to the same language and workspace. Your written draft and settings stay with the account. If local files cannot survive the redirect, the workspace asks you to select them again.

Bring a motion video and a character image for the next take.
