How to put your AI character into a video you like

Take a clip you like, keep its moves, outfit and room, and swap in your own AI character, one clip or twenty at a time.

You have seen a clip that works: a dance, a walk to the camera, a turn in a mirror. You want your character doing exactly that. Describing the movement in words rarely gets close. Pointing at the clip does.

The short answer

Put your character into the clip's first frame, then copy the clip's movement onto that picture. Sable does both steps for you in Batch.

How to do it in Sable, many clips at once

1. Open Batch and choose Videos at the top.
2. Pick your character, the engine and the quality.
3. Drop in up to 20 clips, each up to 30 seconds. Phone clips filmed upright stay upright.
4. Choose how many versions of each you want, up to 4.
5. Add your own words if something should change, for example "no nose ring" or "plain white top".
6. Press Run the batch. Each clip takes a few minutes. You can close the page: every result lands in your library when it is ready.

For each clip, Sable takes its first frame, puts your character into it with the same pose, outfit and room, then copies the clip's movement onto her.

How to do it one clip at a time

1. Open the Video tool.
2. Choose a Motion Control engine: Kling 3.0 Motion Control, Kling 2.6 Motion Control or Runway Act-Two.
3. Add the clip and a picture of your character. The clip gives the movement, the picture gives her and her outfit.
4. Press Generate.

To keep the clip's own outfit and room as well, first make a picture of her in them: in the Image tool, add the clip's first frame and her with @, and ask for her in that outfit, room and pose. Then use that picture with the clip.

Tips

• Clips with one clear person work best.
• Short clips first. Motion Control is priced by the second, and the clip sets the length.
• Check the first second of every result. If the face drifts, try another engine.

What it costs

A clip in Batch costs the same as one face swap, times the versions, and the total shows before you run it. In the Video tool a clip costs from 30 credits, depending on the engine, the length and the quality.
