Turn any character into a moving, talking video
Start with one image — a photo, anime art, an OC or a mascot — and make it dance, swap it into existing footage, or have it speak. Three ways to bring a character to life, all in one place.
Character to Video turns a still character image into an animated clip. The image defines who the character is — face, outfit, style — and a second input defines what they do: a reference video, existing footage or a voice track. DomoAI keeps the character consistent from frame to frame.
| Mode | You provide | You get |
|---|---|---|
| Animator (Move) | Character + motion video | Character performing the motion |
| Video Swap | Character + existing clip | Clip with your character swapped in |
| Talking Avatar | Character + voice or script | Character speaking with lip-sync |

Motion transfer: a reference video “puppeteers” your character. Best for dances, gestures and walks.
A photo, anime art, mascot or OC with a clear face and clean background.
A steady video of the dance, walk or gesture you want, full body in frame.
Style + character + motion + camera + mood + quality.
Check the face, hands and edges.
Slow down the reference or simplify the background if needed.
Add captions, music and sound effects.
Replaces the person in existing footage with your character, keeping the original motion and camera work. No separate reference video needed.
Footage with one clear subject, steady camera and simple background.
A clean image whose pose and framing roughly match the person in the clip.
Describe style and quality: “consistent face, clean outlines, smooth motion”.
The original motion and camera move stay intact.
Watch hands, hair and background edges for drift.
Upscale and finish in your editor.
Makes a face image speak with lip-sync, using text-to-speech or your own MP3, WAV or M4A audio.
A clear face, mouth visible, good lighting.
Type a script for text-to-speech, upload audio or record.
Start with 5–10 seconds to test.
The face speaks with matching mouth shapes and expressions.
Clean, voice-only audio gives the best results.
Add captions and music for social.
A video is a sequence of still images called frames, usually 24–30 every second. To animate a character, the AI has to redraw them in every single frame. When the face, outfit or outline changes slightly between frames, you see flicker or identity drift.
That’s why clean character images, steady references and stability words in your prompt matter so much: they help DomoAI keep frame 1 and frame 120 looking like the same character.
Frames to Video: control keyframes →Formula: style + character + motion + camera + mood + quality.
Anime-style hero character, smooth dance motion, stable camera, clean outlines, consistent face, high quality.
Cute 3D mascot, friendly waving and pointing, smooth motion, minimal flicker, clean background, studio lighting.
Original anime character walking toward the camera on a quiet street at sunset, soft rim light, stable camera, consistent face and outfit, smooth motion.
Bold 3D cartoon character replacing the person, same motion and camera move, clean edges, consistent character, minimal flicker.
Anime character speaking directly to camera, friendly expression, simple background, stable face, natural mouth movement, smooth motion.
Fantasy heroine turning to look over her shoulder, wind in her cloak, dramatic backlight, slow push-in, cinematic, consistent face, clean outlines.
A daily mascot reacting to news with quick 1–2 s gestures.
Dance edits with beat-synced cuts starring your OC.
Your mascot explaining features across short scenes.
30-second concept explainers with a talking character.
Pitch trailers for comics or games from 5–8 character shots.
Developers can also generate talking avatars through the Domo API.

| Issue | Fix |
|---|---|
| Identity drift (face changes) | Use a clearer character image and reduce extreme motion |
| Warped hands in fast choreography | Use a slower reference and keep hands less prominent |
| Text or logos in the art distort | Remove small text from the image; add it later in your editor |
| Background distortion | Simplify the background and crop tighter on the character |
| Flicker | Cleaner art, fewer fine textures, steadier lighting, slower motion |
| Inconsistent results between runs | Generate 2–3 takes, keep the best, and stitch short 3–6 s clips |
There’s a free plan with starter credits so you can try it. Paid plans add more credits, longer clips and watermark-free exports.
Only for Character Animator (Move), which copies motion from a reference. Character Video Swap uses your existing footage, and Talking Avatar uses audio or a script.
Character Animator applies motion from a reference video to your character image. Character Video Swap replaces the person in an existing clip with your character, keeping the original motion and camera work.
Yes — you own the content you generate and can use it commercially, as long as you have the rights to the characters, footage and audio you upload.
MP3, WAV and M4A. You can also type a script for text-to-speech or record directly in the browser.
Usually because of very detailed textures, changing light or fast motion. Use cleaner art, a simpler background, steadier lighting and a slower reference, and add “consistent face, clean outlines, smooth motion” to your prompt.
Make your character dance, step into real footage, or speak — start with free credits.
