Avatar Motion
Restages one photo in a themed scene chosen from more than 250 named effects and animates the result into a short clip. You can get the still, the video or both.
Overview
Avatar Motion is a Wiro effects app: upload one photo, pick an effect, and get back a short themed video. In most effects an image model first redraws the subject in the chosen scene, then an image-to-video model animates that still. Effect Type lists more than 250 named effects, each with a preview clip. The default, 3D Figure (Smashing), turns the subject into a desk figurine that a hand squashes flat before it pops back up.
Choosing a variant: Avatar Motion with Caption adds a text field and four effects that write it into the scene, for example an age in birthday balloons. Pick it when the clip needs your own words in the frame.
What you can build
- Birthday greeting clips from a user's selfie
- Fan-cam and jumbotron clips for fans to share on match day
- Decade portraits such as 1920s Flapper or 90s Yearbook
- Toy and game versions of a person or pet, from a pixel-art walk to a figurine
Inputs
One image, as a file or URL (JPG, PNG, WEBP, GIF or HEIC). Most effects expect one person. A few want something else: an animal for Pet Fashion Show, a car for Speed Drift, a product for Giant Product. Advanced settings hold Output Type and a seed (0 to 99,999,999, default 42).
Outputs
The restaged still, the clip, or both (the default). The six sample clips run about five and a half seconds and keep the shape of the uploaded photo; one of them colours an old black-and-white snapshot and sets it moving. The effect previews show that some scene sets use a fixed frame: birthday scenes and the car scenes built from a portrait are vertical, while stadium fan cams and Speed Drift are wide.
Recommended settings
Keep the seed fixed while comparing effects, and choose Only Image when you want the picture without a clip.
Limitations
- No prompt field. Scene and motion come from the effect.
- Some effects, such as the camera moves Dolly Zoom In and Yoyo Zoom, animate the photo directly and make no still, so pick a video output for them.
Safety & compliance
Get consent from anyone whose face appears in the photo before animating it. The NFL and Formula 1 effects, such as Eagles Popcornstorm, Cowboys Blitz and Pit Focus, put team jerseys, mascots, sponsor logos or TV network graphics from real teams and broadcasters into the clip, so check trademark rights before using those clips in ads.
