Getting Started with MoveAs: Complete Beginner's Guide

Welcome to MoveAs! Whether you’re a TikTok creator looking to stand out or just want to have fun making your favorite characters dance, this guide will get you creating in minutes.

What You’ll Need

Before we start, make sure you have:

  • An iPhone (iOS 15 or later)
  • A character image you want to animate
  • A video of yourself dancing or moving

That’s it! No editing skills, no expensive software, no learning curve.

Step 1: Download MoveAs

Head to the App Store and search for “MoveAs” or use the direct link from our website. The app is free to download.

Step 2: Understanding Tokens

MoveAs uses a token-based system instead of subscriptions. Here’s how it works:

  • Each video generation costs tokens
  • No subscription required
  • Buy more tokens only when you need them
  • No monthly fees or commitments

This means you only pay for what you create. Perfect for casual creators and power users alike.

Step 3: Record Your Source Video

Your source video is the foundation of everything. Here are tips for the best results:

Lighting

  • Natural light is your friend
  • Avoid harsh shadows on your face and body
  • Front-facing light works best

Framing

  • Keep your full body in frame
  • Leave some space around you
  • Use a plain background if possible

Movement

  • Start and end in a clear pose
  • Keep movements within frame
  • Avoid very fast, blurry movements

Duration

  • 5-15 seconds is ideal for most content
  • Longer videos use more tokens
  • Short, punchy content tends to perform better anyway

Step 4: Choose Your Character

This is where the magic happens. You can use:

  • Anime characters - Always popular
  • Superheroes - Great for action content
  • Meme characters - Perfect for comedy
  • Game characters - Tap into gaming communities
  • Your own art - Truly unique content
  • Anything else - Literally any image works

Tips for Choosing Images

  • High resolution images work best
  • Clear, uncluttered backgrounds help
  • Full-body images produce better results
  • Front-facing poses are easiest for AI

Step 5: Generate Your Video

With your source video and character ready:

  1. Upload your dance video
  2. Add your character image
  3. Tap the generate button
  4. Wait 1-3 minutes for processing

That’s all there is to it. The AI handles everything else.

Step 6: Review and Share

Once generation is complete:

  1. Preview your video
  2. Save to your camera roll
  3. Share directly to TikTok, Instagram, or other platforms

MoveAs optimizes videos for social media, so they’re ready to post immediately.

Your First Video Ideas

Not sure what to create? Try these beginner-friendly ideas:

The Classic Dance Trend

Pick a trending TikTok dance and perform it as an anime character. Simple, effective, and proven to work.

The Contrast Video

Choose a serious, stoic character and make them do a silly dance. The contrast creates instant comedy.

The Fan Favorite

Take a beloved character and make them dance to their show’s theme song. Instant nostalgia engagement.

The Meme Recreation

Find a popular meme format and recreate it with a character doing your moves.

Troubleshooting Common Issues

Video looks blurry

Your source video resolution might be too low. Try recording in better lighting or higher quality settings.

Character movements don’t look right

Make sure your full body is visible in every frame. The AI needs to see your complete movement.

Generation is taking too long

Complex videos with lots of movement take longer. If it’s been more than 5 minutes, try a shorter clip.

Running out of tokens

Token packs are available in-app. Choose the pack that fits your creation frequency.

Best Practices for Success

  1. Experiment often - Not every video will go viral, and that’s okay
  2. Follow trends - Trending sounds and dances get algorithm boosts
  3. Post consistently - Regular posting teaches the algorithm about your content
  4. Engage with comments - Early engagement boosts your reach
  5. Have fun - Authenticity shows, even in AI-generated content
