Animate Walk from an Image
Use Animate Walk in Vidu to turn a character image into walking motion. Start with a clear reference, describe the walk, and review the result before exporting.
How Vidu Builds Walking Motion
Use the workflow to guide a character image into walking motion with a clear direction, scene context, and camera framing.
Choose the Reference Image
The reference image defines the character's appearance and visual identity before motion is generated.
How to Use Animate Walk
Add References
Click +reference and upload 1 to 7 reference images from your own files or the RefHu library to define the character or object in a reference-based video setup.
Set Prompt and Options
Enter a prompt that describes what the character or object should do, then choose the video settings you need, such as model, duration, motion amplitude, audio, and generation mode. If your source still needs cleanup, the image enhancement workflow can help you prepare it before generating.
Create and Download
Click Create, wait for Vidu to generate the video, then preview the result and use the image enhancement workflow if you want to refine the source image before downloading it to your device when it looks right.
What Is Animate Walk?
Upload multiple reference images or subjects, then combine the subject, scene, and props into a consistent video using a image enhancement workflow that helps keep every element aligned.
AI Animate Walk: Turn Any Character into a Walking Animation Image Workflow Comparison
Use this table to compare when AI Animate Walk: Turn Any Character into a Walking Animation should use Vidu's image enhancement workflow versus a manual or generic workflow, based on input type, account access, export settings, and commercial use rules.
| Decision area | Vidu workflow | Manual or generic workflow |
|---|---|---|
| Workflow fit | Vidu supports image-to-video, text-to-video, and reference-to-video workflows, so AI Animate Walk: Turn Any Character into a Walking Animation can start from an image or reference-led direction. | Manual or generic workflows usually rely on separate tools and more handoff steps to reach a similar result. |
| Input choice | Use the Vidu workflow when you want to animate a source image or guide the result with reference material for a walking character. | Use a manual workflow when the asset must be rebuilt or edited across multiple tools before animation. |
| Account access | All users need to log in before using Vidu generation services for AI Animate Walk: Turn Any Character into a Walking Animation. | A generic workflow may have different access rules depending on the tool or platform. |
| Export control | Paid members can choose watermark or no-watermark exports under current settings; free-user exports may carry a platform watermark. | Manual or generic exports depend on the tool's own export settings and may require separate review. |
| Commercial use | Free-user generated content has no commercial authorization; paid-user generated content can be used commercially within Vidu's latest terms and commercial authorization rules. | Manual or generic outputs still need rights and license review before commercial use. |
