How Do I Add Motion to my Video?

Adding motion to your video is one of the most effective ways to enhance its visual impact and keep your audience engaged. CopyCopter makes this process easy and powerful by allowing you to apply AI-generated motion effects to your visuals. This guide will walk you through how to add motion to your video using the advanced AI tools available in CopyCopter.

Step 1: Start with AI-Generated Content

1. Generate Your Visuals: Begin by generating your video content using CopyCopter’s AI tools. Instead of relying on external uploads, you can create stunning visuals directly within the platform, tailored to fit the theme of your video.
2. Access the Video Editor: Once your visuals are ready, they will automatically open in the video editor, where you can start applying motion effects.

Step 2: Select the Visual Element to Animate

Before adding motion, identify the visual element you want to bring to life:

• Choose the Image or Scene: Navigate to the timeline at the bottom of the editor and select the image or scene you wish to animate. Click on it to highlight it.
• Preview the Scene: Preview the selected scene in its static form to understand how it will look before adding any motion effects.

Step 3: Applying AI-Generated Motion Effects

CopyCopter offers AI-generated motion effects that can transform your static visuals into dynamic video elements:

• Click on the "Add Motion" Tab: In the top toolbar of the video editor, find and click the “Add Motion” tab. This will open up the motion effects menu.
• Choose a Motion AI Model: You will have four AI model options for generating motion:
  • **Ultra (3 credits): Delivers advanced motion effects with high precision and detail, optimized for 16:9 aspect ratio. Ideal for high-quality, high-impact visuals.
  • **Dream (7 credits): A more powerful option that creates cinematic and dynamic motion effects, perfect for complex scenes.
  • **Kling Standard (6 credits per 5 seconds / 12 credits per 10 seconds): High-end motion generation offering professional-level quality for visually rich projects.
  • **Kling Pro (12 credits per 5 seconds / 24 credits per 10 seconds): Our most advanced and powerful motion model, designed for the highest fidelity and realism.
• Apply Motion: After selecting your AI model and motion strength, click the “Apply Motion” button. Remember that applying motion effects will deduct the corresponding number of credits from your account.

Step 4: Fine-Tuning the Motion

Once the motion has been applied, you may want to fine-tune it for optimal results:

• Adjust the Timing: Use the timeline to control when the motion effect starts and stops, ensuring it syncs with other elements like text and voiceovers.
• Preview the Motion: Play back your video to see how the motion effects enhance your visuals in real-time.
• Make Adjustments: If the motion doesn’t meet your expectations, you can return to the “Add Motion” tab and modify the settings as needed.

Step 5: Combine Motion with Other Effects

Motion effects can be combined with other visual enhancements to maximize the impact of your video:

• Overlay Effects: Consider adding overlay effects such as Bokeh Particles or Light Leaks to complement the motion and add depth to your visuals.
• Text: Animate your text overlays as well, making titles and captions move in harmony with your visuals.

Step 6: Finalizing Your Video

After adding and fine-tuning the motion effects:

• Preview the Full Video: Watch your entire video to ensure that the motion effects contribute to the desired outcome.
• Make Final Adjustments: If necessary, tweak the motion effects or other video elements to perfect your content.
• Save Your Progress: Although CopyCopter saves your progress automatically, it’s good practice to manually save your project by clicking the “Save” button.

Step 7: Export and Share

When you’re satisfied with your video:

• Export Your Video: Click the “Export + Share” button to export your video in the desired resolution and format.
• Share on Social Media: Once exported, you can directly upload your video to platforms like TikTok or YouTube, showcasing your motion-enhanced content to your audience.
