# Doodle Transformation

Reference-to-video keeps a character recognisable across a clip that was never drawn: you supply doodles that say who they are, and it films an anime-style transformation — a graceful twirl wrapped in ribbon trails and a rising shower of sparkles, landing in a confident hero pose. Expect one continuous camera move, a bright magical-girl palette layered as flat cel tints, and a sparse shimmering sound bed. This is an anime STYLE, not any named character or series. Costs one credit per second of clip, renders in the background, and arrives in the chat about a minute after you ask.

## When to use it

Use when the user wants a NEW magical-girl-style transformation clip starring their doodle character — "make a magical girl transformation of her", "anime transformation reel", "have my character twirl with ribbons and sparkles into a hero pose". The reference doodles fix the likeness, and the shot itself is new. Anime STYLE, not any named character. Not for animating one exact picture: that is doodle-spark.

## How clips are billed

A clip costs 1 credit per second, so the default 5-second clip is 5 credits and the longest (15s) is 15. Rendering happens in the background and the clip appears in your chat when it is ready; if it fails, the credits are returned automatically.

## How to run it

- Open [Doodle AI](https://doodleai.art/) and attach a photo.
- Ask for it by name — "Doodle Transformation" — or let the agent pick it from your request.
- Refine in plain language afterwards: "thicker outline", "warmer paper".
