3D Previs → AI Character Animation
Direct the motion with character art or a reference video. Smooth clips for social posts, trailers, and pitch reels—no animation skills needed.
Give AI a shot to follow. Use a 3D Previs video to communicate movement, timing and camera framing, then shape the character and visual style with your references and prompt.
No animation skills needed to start. Free access and generation credits depend on your account and selected settings.
The QuickMagic workflow advantage
A 3D Previs video is a rough moving version of your shot. Use it as a visual reference for performance, staging and camera framing—then develop the finished look in the AI video generator.
Primary video reference · Beauty
This color Previs shows the performer, stage and changing shot composition. Use a readable preview like this to communicate how you want the scene to move.
3D planning reference · 14.47 seconds · 1920 × 1080 · silent
Companion view · Depth
The matching grayscale preview separates near and far surfaces. It helps explain the scene structure alongside the color reference.
Depth preview · 14.47 seconds · silent. Depth-input support depends on the target model; it is not established by these samples.
Make a gesture, performance or sequence of poses visible instead of describing every beat in text.
Communicate character placement, shot size and camera movement with a reference you can review before generation.
Use character art and a prompt to describe appearance, environment and lighting while referring to the planned performance.
The supplied Beauty and Depth clips show the same Previs sequence. The styled dance video above illustrates a finished visual treatment, not a frame-for-frame reproduction guarantee. Uploading a reference is a separate step; there is no implied automatic scene transfer or universal Depth conditioning.
Give a still character somewhere to go
QuickMagic’s AI character animation video generator turns character art and supported reference media into rendered video clips guided by your words. Describe what happens, how the camera sees it and the mood you want to create.
Use it to explore character performances, animated scenes and visual effects without manually keyframing every frame. Start with a short, readable action, then refine the result around your story.
Made to be watched
Explore public examples from QuickMagic’s Video Effects Generator. These are inspiration, not a promise of an identical result from any upload.
A metallic violinist performs under blue and gold light, with expressive camera framing.
A colorful television-headed robot explores a stylized alien environment in a vertical character showcase.
A stylized black cat and a small red bird share a playful illustrated scene.
A cinematic fantasy character handles falling sand in a dramatic, warmly lit scene.
An anime-style warrior and a blade create an energetic, blue-lit action showcase.
The five videos in this gallery are public previews from the official QuickMagic generator. Posters are frames from those videos, not claims about the original input art. Playback starts muted; use the player controls for sound.
Character identity + planned performance
Bring an illustration, a mascot design or a character render. Describe a gesture, a reaction or a short performance, then give the scene a setting and camera direction.
Create a short 3D Previs in 3D Director, then upload its rendered video as a reference. Pair it with character art when the selected model supports multiple reference types.
Available reference types and upload limits vary by model. Check the current generator before preparing a large set of assets.
A simple place to start
Use 3D Director to arrange a character, choose an action and plan the camera. Keep the first shot focused on one readable performance.
Render and review the color Previs video, then upload it to the AI video generator. Add character art if supported by your selected model.
Explain which movement and framing to follow and how the character, lighting and setting should look. Select supported output settings and check the estimated credit cost.
Compare the generated clip with the Previs for gesture, timing and framing. Refine the references or prompt before using the result in a social post, trailer or pitch reel.
Make your direction specific
Subject + action + setting + camera. Start with these editable ideas and adapt them to your own artwork.
Use my 3D Previs video as a reference for the performance, timing and camera framing. Use my character image for appearance and costume. Reimagine the stage with cinematic blue lighting. Keep the full gesture readable and preserve the intended shot progression.
My illustrated mascot gives a cheerful wave, then settles into a clear final pose. Keep the face readable and the movement simple. Bright lighting and centered framing with room for a caption.
The referenced character steps into a misty environment and looks toward a distant glow. Start with a wide shot, then move closer as the character reacts. Preserve the recognizable outfit and silhouette.
Original prompt starters for inspiration; not the production prompts behind the example videos.
Small clips. A bigger story.
Turn a character introduction, a playful gesture or a short reaction into a visual hook. Keep the subject readable on a small screen.
Explore a hero reveal, an atmospheric entrance or an action beat. Build a set of short shots to shape your trailer concept.
Show the tone of your world with moving character moments. Give collaborators a clearer starting point for creative discussion.
Suggested creative uses. Review output quality and rights to your source material before publishing or commercial use.
Keep the character in focus
AI generation is an iterative creative process. A focused prompt gives you something concrete to evaluate, while a clean reference helps communicate the character you want the viewer to recognize.
Check the face, costume, silhouette and accessories throughout the clip.
Inspect hands, body contacts, motion continuity and the final pose.
Keep the important gesture in frame and leave room for titles added later.
Yes. Prepare a rendered video of your planned scene, then upload it as a video reference in a model that supports video input. Use the Previs to communicate action, staging and camera framing, and a prompt to explain the intended visual treatment. This is a reference-based workflow, not an automatic transfer of an editable 3D scene.
Character art communicates how a character should look. A 3D Previs video communicates how a performance and shot should unfold over time. Combine the two when your selected model supports both reference types, and clearly describe the role of each reference.
Use a supported color video as your starting reference. The Beauty sample shows the planned performance and camera view; the Depth sample is a companion grayscale view of scene structure. These examples do not confirm Depth-conditioning support. Check the chosen model before using Depth as an input.
It is a tool for turning a character image, a written direction or supported reference media into a rendered video clip. QuickMagic combines visual references with a description of the action and scene, so you can develop animated character content without manually building every frame.
Yes. Start with a character image you own or have permission to use, then describe the action, expression and camera framing you want. A clear subject and readable silhouette make the creative direction easier to communicate. Review the result for changes to facial features, costume and proportions.
The QuickMagic generator offers reference-media input and shows image/video reference instructions. Use an image to communicate appearance and a video to communicate movement or scene rhythm when supported by the selected model. Input types and limits can differ between models.
No animation skills are needed to start this reference-and-prompt workflow. You do not need to manually rig a character or keyframe a timeline to request a clip. Clear direction and a careful review still help you get a result that fits your story.
Use Try Free to open QuickMagic and check the free access available to your account. Generation can consume credits, and the workspace displays an estimated cost for the selected settings. This page does not promise unlimited free generation or that every model and resolution is included.
Exact character consistency is not guaranteed. Give the model a clear reference, describe the features that matter and keep the first action simple. Inspect faces, hands, clothing, accessories and silhouettes throughout the clip before publishing.
Yes, these are useful creative applications for short animation clips. Plan a single visual moment for a social post, a character reveal for a trailer or an atmospheric beat for a pitch reel. Assemble longer edits and add final titles or sound in your preferred editing workflow.
Choose the options available for your selected model and intended placement. Vertical framing suits full-screen social viewing, while wider compositions give a scene more room. Available durations, resolutions and their estimated costs are shown in the generator; verify them before submitting.
This page focuses on rendered animation videos, not editable 3D rigs or skeletal motion files. If you need motion-capture data, explore QuickMagic Video to 3D Animation. Use 3D Director when you want to plan character placement and camera framing before creating a video reference.
Describe one subject, one clear action, the setting and the camera. Add important appearance constraints and avoid stacking contradictory instructions. The prompt starters on this page are original writing examples, not the prompts used to create the official gallery videos.
