Virtual Brand Ambassadors with AI Motion Transfer: From Smartphone Video to Brand Face

Quick answer: motion transfer takes a real video (you, filmed on a phone) and moves an AI character the same way: head turns, gestures, timing. It looks more natural than animating a still image, because the movement comes from a real person. In our AI Ambassador Studio you can make 4–30 second videos, from €5 top-up, with failed runs refunded.

Why motion transfer beats image-to-video for ambassadors

Image-to-video guesses how a person moves. That often gives stiff nods and floaty hands. With motion transfer, you perform once and the AI copies real timing, eye contact and pauses.

How it works

1. Create or upload your ambassador: one clear, front-facing photo of the AI character.
2. Film the motion on your phone: you act out what the ambassador should do.
3. Write a short prompt: outfit, setting, mood.
4. Pick resolution and length, see the cost, then generate.

Filming tips that make the result better

• Frame the same way as the character photo (waist-up to waist-up)
• Use even light from the front; avoid strong backlight
• Plain background, no one else in shot
• Slow, clear gestures; keep hands away from your face
• Start with 5–10 seconds before trying 30

Good uses

• A brand face that greets customers on product pages
• Weekly social updates without being on camera
• Localised versions of the same message

FAQ

What is AI motion transfer?

A technique that copies movement from a real video onto an AI character, so the character moves like the person filmed.

How long can the video be?

In the Lab, between 4 and 30 seconds per run.

Do I need a subscription?

No. Top up from €5 and pay per video. Failed runs are refunded.

Can I use my own face?

Use only faces you have rights to. For a brand ambassador, a fictional AI character is the simplest option.

Next step: learn the whole workflow in a recorded workshop (see all workshops) or save with a bundle.
