The walkthrough shows the English interface; the instructions and prompt below explain each action.

Video walkthrough

Step 1 · Choose your character photo

Open Edit image → Chat to edit and select or upload the character image. This example starts with an original adult woman with a red braid beside a white brick wall. The existing pose and crop give the costume a clear shape to follow.

Design my cosplay

Step 2 · Describe an original cosplay costume

Use the full costume prompt below to describe the navy tunic, cream blouse, embroidered stars, shoulder cape and silver belt. Ask the editor to keep the face, braid, hands and room. Choose Keep original and Ultra 4K, then generate your cosplay portrait.

Prompt used in the demo:

Create a photorealistic cosplay portrait of the exact adult red-haired woman in this source image as an ORIGINAL fantasy sky-mage character. Preserve her face, green eyes, age, red hair and braid, relaxed standing pose, hands, body proportions, original three-quarter crop, white brick wall, window and soft indoor daylight. Change ONLY her clothing to an elegant modest navy-blue mage tunic over a cream high-neck blouse, fine silver embroidered stars and constellations, a structured cobalt shoulder cape and a silver waist belt. Keep the silhouette wearable like a crafted cosplay costume, with realistic velvet folds, stitching and embroidery. Keep both hands visible and relaxed in the same positions. No celebrity or existing franchise character. No hat obscuring the face, weapons, staff, new props, extra limbs, warped fingers, new people, changed background, text or logos. Do not extend the frame to invent feet. One coherent realistic cosplay photograph, not an illustration or split-screen.

Create my costume

Step 3 · Review the costume and add motion

Check the embroidery, belt and hands before selecting the image in Image to video. Enter the motion prompt below: a small head turn, a gentle smile and a slight breeze at the cape edge. The archived clip uses Fast mode, 720p, five seconds and a square frame.

Prompt used in the demo:

Animate the same adult sky-mage for five seconds: one small head turn, gentle smile, and slight cape-edge breeze. Keep her face, red braid, cream blouse, blue star-embroidered costume, belt, hands, white wall and window unchanged. Fixed camera, square crop. No new objects, gestures, costume changes, cuts, text, speech or music.

Animate my character

Step 4 · Watch your character come to life

Watch the complete clip and look at the face, braid and cape throughout the movement. Download your favorite version for a character introduction or cosplay post. The final example is a real generated video, while the preceding comparison shows the costume image and its animation setup.

For video, APOB offers HD (720p), Full HD (FHD/1080p), QHD and 4K options across supported models and features. Choose the resolution available in your selected video mode; a 4K still image does not automatically set the video’s output resolution.

Give your costume idea a clear visual direction

Name the parts that make the costume recognizable: tunic, cape, embroidery, belt and fabric. Keep a clear character reference while exploring those choices, then review the still before animating it. A short character introduction can grow from one costume image you already like.
