DreamActor V2 (Motion Transfer) API
dreamactor-v2DreamActor V2 is ByteDance's motion-capture-and-transfer model. Rather than generating from scratch, it takes one image plus a reference video and makes the character in the image precisely replicate the reference's body movement, facial expressions and lip-sync — you supply the look, the video supplies the motion. It handles multi-person scenes, anime/cartoon characters and pets, with identity lock that preserves the original image's features and background. Ideal for virtual presenters and digital humans, dance and performance reenactment, character voiceover and e-commerce explainers. Billed per second at $0.06/s; use only with subjects you have the rights/consent to depict.
