Draw to Video: Control Motion Paths & Animate Sketches
Fotor's draw to video generator lets you guide object motion by drawing paths on a video, and turn sketches, doodles, or line art into animated video clips.
Draw to Video: Insert Objects and Custom Instructions
Upload an image to the drawing canvas, overlay reference photos, frame target areas, and add short text descriptions directly on the image. The draw to video generator then animates the original image as you like, blending the references and following your instructions.
Ideal for e-commerce product placement and scene edits. It lets creators insert products, characters, or extra objects with precision and ease, reducing the work of long prompt engineering.

What is a draw to video generator?
A draw to video generator is an AI-powered tool that transforms hand-drawn lines, rough sketches, and visual annotations into dynamic video scenes. Unlike traditional text-to-video models, it allows creators to visually control the output by drawing motion paths, framing subjects, or adding directional arrows directly onto an image canvas.
What is motion brush?
Motion brush is an AI editing tool that allows you to animate specific parts of a static image by painting over them. By drawing directional arrows over elements like hair, water, or clouds, you can control exactly which elements move and which direction they go.
What types of input assets work best?
High-resolution photos, clean line drawings, and high-contrast sketches work best.
Can I customize the visual style of the generated videos?
