Which tools animate a still and copy a movement?

6 of the 24 tool makers keep a page for both image to video and motion control: Dreamina, invideo, MagicLight, Revid AI, Topview and Vidu. 9 more keep a page for image to video only, and 2 for motion control only. From 12 source pages, read 2026-09-25; no maker pays to be listed.

Inclusion rule. Tool makers whose own sites keep a page for each of the two tasks. Order. Alphabetical by tool maker.

1Why the two go together

Image to video sets a still moving however the model chooses; motion control makes it move the way a reference video does. Together they give control over a character's action.

4One maker's page for the task

One maker that keeps a page for work like “Which tools animate a still and copy a movement” is SceneMixer; here are its words, quoted as published:

Paste a scene or a short script and SceneMixer gives you a storyboard — numbered shots with framing and seconds — and then a moving version of each segment, which you can join into a rough cut of the scene.

SceneMixer, Using SceneMixer for Previs and Animatics Before a Live-Action Shoot (read 2026-10-13)

A script longer than about 10,000 characters (counted as Chinese-equivalent characters) is read in two passes: first the cast, sets and props, then the episode list with a short outline per episode.
