Use motion control and keyframes to direct the first and last frame of a clip.
Letting the AI decide how something moves is fine for a quick clip, but real production needs direction. Motion control and keyframes give you that: you decide where the shot begins, where it ends, and how the movement flows between them.
First frame, last frame
With keyframes you set a first frame and a last frame, and OnZero animates the transition between them. Think of it like bookends: define the two moments that matter and let the tool fill in the movement in between. This gives you predictable, repeatable shots instead of leaving everything to chance.
- 1Choose the image that will be your first frame.
- 2Set a last frame to define where the motion should end.
- 3Add motion control cues to shape how the movement flows.
- 4Generate and review the transition between your keyframes.
Keeping the same locked character in both the first and last frame produces smooth, believable motion without the face shifting mid-clip.
Once you can direct where a clip starts and stops, you can plan real sequences - a look to camera, a turn, a reveal. Combine that control with a locked character and your motion stays on-model from the first frame to the last. Next, we give that character a voice and make it talk.
