Open motion controlWhat is Kling Motion Control?
Kling Motion Control transfers movement from a reference video to the subject in a character image. It is useful when you already have a performance, gesture or dance to guide the animation.
Choose the direction of your character
Use video orientation for reference clips from 3 to 30 seconds, or image orientation for clips from 3 to 10 seconds. Choose whether the background follows the image or the video.
Create in 720p or 1080p
Choose standard mode for 720p or professional mode for 1080p. Keep the subject clearly visible in both inputs so the model can follow the movement and facial expression.
Prepare your image and motion reference
Use one JPEG or PNG image up to 10 MB and one MP4 or MOV video up to 100 MB. Both inputs must exceed 340 pixels and use an aspect ratio between 2:5 and 5:2.
