Depth-Guided Motion Transfer
SEELE runs a depth-guided motion-transfer workflow from exactly one reference video and one replacement-subject reference path. It derives depth guidance, then generates the replacement subject while preserving the original performance, camera movement, timing, composition, and audio as closely as the workflow allows.

Use cases
Built for a concrete production decision
Each use case stays inside the mapped Workspace capability rather than promising an unsupported all-in-one pipeline.
Character creators
Carry a supplied subject reference into motion guided by a real video.
Previs editors
Explore character replacement while retaining timing and composition.
Workflow
From input to a reviewable artifact
The visible steps below match the HowTo schema and the supported Film & CG guide.
Attach one source video
The workflow requires exactly one reference video.
Choose one subject path
Attach one replacement-subject image, or provide a non-empty text description when no image is attached.
Build depth guidance
SEELE converts the source video to a depth-spatial guide before generation.
Generate and verify
Review the replacement against motion, camera, timing, composition, and audio.
Prompt
Start with constraints, not adjectives
Use the canonical brief as a working draft. Add only facts, references, and delivery requirements you can verify.
CANONICAL BRIEF
Use my attached source video for motion and depth guidance. Replace the main character with the subject in my attached reference image while preserving performance, camera movement, timing, composition, and audio.

Outputs
Know what the workflow can hand back
Output names describe the evidenced artifact or delivery preference; exact file formats must be checked in Workspace.
Depth-guided video
Generated replacement-subject video based on the derived depth guide.
Depth artifact
The workflow-derived depth.mp4 used as spatial guidance.
Review checklist
Performance, timing, composition, camera, subject, and audio checks.
FAQ
Questions before you open Workspace
What does this depth-guided motion transfer do?
SEELE runs a depth-guided motion-transfer workflow from exactly one reference video and one replacement-subject reference path. It derives depth guidance, then generates the replacement subject while preserving the original performance, camera movement, timing, composition, and audio as closely as the workflow allows.
How quickly can I start?
Open the Film & CG workspace, provide the required brief and attachments, then run the mapped capability. Generation time varies with the request and service conditions.
Can I edit the result?
You can revise the brief and rerun the workflow. Any exact editing, export, or downstream integration must be verified in the resulting Workspace flow rather than assumed from this landing page.
Do I need source files?
Yes. Exactly one reference video is required, plus one replacement-subject image or a non-empty text description when no image is attached.
What should I check before production use?
Review factual accuracy, rights, identity, continuity, motion, framing, audio, and technical delivery. Generated media can require manual polish.
Limitations
What still needs judgment
These constraints are part of the product answer, not fine print.
Exact input contractOne reference video is mandatory, plus exactly one image-or-description subject path.
Failure stops the workflowIf reference preparation or depth conversion fails, generation should not continue.
Not perfect captureOcclusion, fast motion, fine limbs, and identity can still need retries or cleanup.
