Video Loom
AI motion swap
Motion swap takes a still image and a driver video, then transfers the performance — movement, gesture, timing — from the clip onto the photo. Video Loom keeps the source image, driver clip, face-map review, and generated take in the same project as the rest of the edit.
Bring in the still image you want to animate and the video whose motion should drive it — a performance take, a reference clip, or a previous generated shot.
Motion swap surfaces a repairable, context-aware face-map warning when the mapping looks uncertain, so you can catch a bad transfer before spending on the full generation.
The generated motion-swap take moves into the same timeline as other scenes, with captions, transitions, and export controls ready to use.
Questions
AI motion swap animates a still photo using the motion — movement, gesture, and timing — captured in a separate driver video, producing a moving shot from the photo.
Yes. Upload or select a driver clip and a source photo, and Video Loom transfers the motion from the clip onto the still image.
Video Loom surfaces a repairable, context-aware face-map warning before you commit, so you can adjust the source image or driver clip and retry instead of getting a silently broken take.
Yes. The generated motion-swap take joins the same timeline, continuity library, and export path as every other scene in the project.
