How to make a photo dance with AI

To make a photo dance, start with one clear portrait and one short dance reference that you are allowed to use. The portrait supplies the person or character in the finished clip. The reference supplies the movement, timing, framing, and camera energy.

Danceo uses this motion-transfer workflow so you can choose a specific movement direction instead of relying on a text prompt to invent choreography. You can browse showcase examples, preview the selected move, and see the expected credit cost before generating.

1. Choose a clear portrait

Use a well-lit image with one visible subject. A front-facing or three-quarter portrait usually gives the system a clearer character to work with. Make sure you own the photo or have permission to transform it, especially when the image contains a real person.

• Use JPG, PNG, or WebP files up to 10 MB.
• Keep the face and body distinct from the background.
• Avoid severe blur, extreme crops, or multiple competing subjects.
• Use original artwork or authorized images for fictional characters.

2. Pick a movement reference

Select a Danceo showcase clip or upload a short video you are authorized to use. The reference influences the motion and composition of the output, so choose one with a style and pacing that fit your idea. A simple, stable clip is a good first test.

You can choose the original reference length or set a shorter duration. Danceo calculates the render cost from the selected input and output duration before you start.

3. Preview and create the video

Use the homepage generator to preview a portrait locally, select a showcase move, and inspect the quoted credits. When you choose to generate, sign in so your uploaded inputs and completed video remain associated with your account. The completed render appears in My Videos when it is ready.

Use AI responsibly

Only use images and reference videos you created, own, or are authorized to transform. Do not use the workflow to impersonate real people, misrepresent others, or create content that violates the rights or privacy of a person depicted in the source material.
