Kling AI VideoApply movement from a reference video to a static character image. Choose your framing, refine the scene and create motion-guided image-to-video animation.
Use a video to define the movement and an image to define the character.
A reference-led workflow for dance, gestures, action and character animation.
Kling Motion Control extracts movement from a reference video and applies it to a static character image. The video provides the performance while the image supplies the character you want to animate.
Match the character orientation to the video for complex movement, or to the image to preserve your composition. Prompts refine the background, lighting and atmosphere, while audio settings let you keep the reference soundtrack or create silent output.
Plan the movement, framing, audio and visual finish as separate creative choices.
Kling Motion Control intelligently analyzes and extracts complete motion sequences from 3–30 second reference videos—capturing everything from subtle gestures to complex choreography—and precisely transfers them to your static character images with remarkable accuracy.
Kling Motion Control delivers exceptional full-body motion accuracy, maintaining natural posture transitions and limb articulation. Even the most challenging movements—from martial arts sequences to dynamic dance routines—are rendered with smooth, physically coherent motion.
Kling Motion Control excels at preserving intricate hand movements and expressive gestures that other animation tools often miss. This attention to detail makes it perfect for close-up shots and character-driven content where every gesture matters.
Kling Motion Control offers two powerful orientation modes: match the video for exact framing replication, or match the image to preserve your composition while enabling dynamic camera movement. Choose the mode that best fits your creative needs.
With Kling Motion Control, you have complete audio control. Preserve the original soundtrack from your reference video to maintain the authentic feel, or generate silent output for custom sound design and music integration.
Kling Motion Control's prompt system lets you fine-tune background elements, lighting conditions, atmospheric effects, and visual styling without compromising the core motion transfer. Perfect your scene while keeping motion accuracy intact.
