Animaker Dev Guide

Learn how to create AI motion videos from a portrait photo and a reference video.

What is Animaker Dev?

Animaker Dev helps you turn a portrait photo and a reference video into a new AI motion video.

Use it when you want a still person in a photo to follow the motion from another video, such as a dance, pose sequence, creator clip, or short social media concept.

Basic Workflow

  1. Upload a clear portrait photo
  2. Upload a reference video with the motion you want
  3. Start generation
  4. Review the result in your task history
  5. Download the generated MP4

Input Tips

For better results, use a photo where the subject is visible from head to waist or full body. Avoid photos where the hands hold objects, the face is hidden, or the body is heavily cropped.

For reference videos, choose clips with stable framing, clear body movement, and one main subject.

Billing

Each generation uses 1 credit. New users can try the workflow with a free credit, and paid bundles can reduce the per-video cost to as low as $0.99.
