Key features	Keyframe-based propagation across an entire video sequence Support for arbitrary painted styles, including oil paint, watercolor, pastel, and digital media 4K video export and PNG sequence output on the Pro tier Command-line automation available on the Studio tier Multi-frame consistency without training a custom model per project	Motion transfer from reference video to a still character Full-body, hand and facial retargeting with lip sync No rigging or keyframes required 30-second clips at 720p or 1080p Uploads auto-deleted within 24 hours
Pros	Free tier covers real 720p export, not only a watermark-locked preview Full creative control since the artist paints the actual target style by hand Long track record in the VFX and animation community since its 2019 release	Separates motion from identity, so neither depends on prompt wording Full pricing published, with commercial rights included Uploads deleted within a day rather than retained
Cons	Requires real painting or illustration skill on the keyframe; it's a craft tool, not a one-click filter Desktop-only software with no web or mobile version No generative AI model behind it, so it can't invent detail the keyframe doesn't already imply	Thirty seconds is a hard ceiling Credit packs expire in 30 days, unlike the subscriptions Transferring a real person's motion is a consent question it does not ask
Company	Secret Weapons, founded 2018	Motion Control AI
