AI Anime Video from Your Own Clip
Film the moves yourself, upload one anime character image, and watch that character perform your take — same timing, same gestures, same camera.
Bring a phone or camera clip (MP4/MOV, two minutes and 100MB at most) and one picture of your anime character, then pick 4–15 seconds to animate. The credit price shows up before you start; if a render breaks, you get the credits back.
Turn the person in your clip into a cartoon, 3D or anime character — motion, camera and timing follow your original clip. · Also called Motion Transfer
Reference images (required) — One character — a photo of a person who agreed to be depicted, or an illustrated, anime, cartoon or 3D character.
Best results: one clear, full-body character per image on a plain background — a photo, illustration, anime or 3D character. Only use photos of people who have agreed to be depicted, such as yourself.
Upload, then drag to pick your 5s

How AI Anime Video Works Here
Most AI anime video generators start from a text prompt and invent the motion. This works the other way round: you film the performance, and the AI turns the person in your clip into the anime character from your image. The dance, the wave, the head tilt and the camera move are yours; the character on screen is the one you chose.
Because the motion comes from real footage, it looks natural and repeatable. Shoot the same routine once and you can render it with as many characters as you like, each one moving exactly the same way.
From Your Clip to an Anime Video in 3 Steps
Step 1: Film or pick your clip
A phone video at 24–60 fps works well. Keep the person you want to transform in frame and well lit, then mark 4–15 seconds of the clip.
Step 2: Add one anime character image
Upload a single image of the character — your original character, a commissioned design, or an anime-style version of yourself.
Step 3: Generate in 768P or 2K
Check the credit cost, generate, and download the result from your account after a few minutes.
Anime Character, Not a Full Anime Filter
This tool replaces the performer with your anime character. The background, the room and the camera stay as filmed, so the result is an anime character moving through your real scene — a look that works well for trends, intros and character reveals.
It does not repaint the whole video as an anime scene, and it does not generate anime videos from text alone. If you need the whole frame drawn in anime style, a full-scene video-to-anime filter is the better fit.
Choosing an Anime Character Image
One character, full body
Use a single character, ideally head to feet and facing forward. Crops that cut off the legs or arms leave the model guessing.
Plain background
A character sheet on a white or simple background works best. Busy scenes and group art make it harder to tell which figure to copy.
Match the movement
Choose a design that suits the motion — clear hands for gestures, a full outfit for dance moves. The closer the body is to yours, the more natural the result.
Ideas for AI Anime Videos
Dance and trend clips
Record a dance or a trend once, then post it as your anime character. The choreography stays exactly as you performed it.
OC and VTuber intros
Give your original character a short intro, a wave or a reaction clip using your own performance — no rigging or animation software.
Cosplay previews
Test how a character would move in a scene before building a costume or booking a shoot.
Use Characters You Have the Right to Use
Use your own characters, designs you have permission for, or characters whose owners allow fan use. Characters from existing anime and games may be protected, so check before posting commercially. Anyone visible in your source clip must have agreed to appear, and celebrities and minors are not allowed.
How Much an Anime Video Costs
There is no free tier — you pay with credits. The smallest pack is $9.90 for 25 credits, bought once with nothing renewing. Every second of 768P video uses one credit (2K uses two), so a 5-second anime clip costs roughly $1.98 with the Starter pack, and a render that fails is credited back.
AI Anime Video FAQ
Can I turn myself into an anime character in a video?+
Yes. Film yourself, upload one image of the anime character, and the result shows that character performing your exact movements.
Can I use my own original character (OC)?+
Yes. A clean, full-body image of your OC on a plain background gives the best result.
Does the background turn into anime too?+
No. The performer becomes your anime character while the background and camera stay as filmed.
Is there a free trial?+
No. Every render uses credits, and packs start at $9.90 with no subscription. You always see the cost first, and failed renders are refunded.
What resolution and length do I get?+
Results are 4–15 seconds long, in 768P or 2K.
Does it keep my original audio?+
No. A soundtrack is generated with the new video. Add your original audio in an editor afterwards if you need it.
1 credit per second at standard quality (768P), 2 credits per second at 2K. Precision Swap costs twice the Standard rate.
