Key features

Steady Dancer turns a still image you upload into video inside Enhance AI. It renders at a resolution you choose, 720p by default. Steady Dancer is built by Lightricks. On Enhance AI it runs on the same account as every other model, with no separate subscription.

Resolution

Choose 480p or 720p before you render. A lower resolution costs less, so test a prompt low and rerender the keeper at the top setting. The studio shows the price for the setting you picked before anything is charged.

Input modes

Steady Dancer starts from a still image you upload. The first frame is locked to your image, so a product, a face or a location stays as you shot it, and the prompt only describes how the scene should move. Upload the sharpest source you have.

What people make with Steady Dancer

Matching choreography across shots

When several shots need the same movement, drive them all from one reference clip through Steady Dancer. The timing stays identical across every render, which makes the shots cut together cleanly and keeps a group scene or a multi character piece in step from start to finish.

Dance and pose transfer

Film a dance or a movement once and Steady Dancer puts it on another person, a character or a product mascot. The motion comes from your reference video and the look comes from your image, so a single performance can drive a whole set of characters without filming each one.

Animating a still character

Turn an illustration or a character sheet into a moving figure by giving Steady Dancer a reference video of the motion you want. Studios use it to test how a design moves before committing to full animation, and small teams use it to skip that stage entirely and ship.
