What is AI motion control?

AI motion control, also called motion transfer, makes one character image perform the same movement, gestures and expressions as the person in a reference video. Kenerate AI's motion tool runs 12 engines, takes reference clips of up to 2 minutes, and the output follows your clip's length. It works on the free plan, for creators, animators and marketers.

Tips

Cleaner motion transfer

What the engines — and Kling's own guide — recommend.

  • Match the framing: full-body image for a full-body dance video.

  • Use a reference clip with no cuts and a steady camera.

  • Keep the character's proportions close to the dancer's.

  • Kling 3.0 'matches video' copies camera and orientation; 'matches image' keeps your photo's pose (max 10 s).

  • Short, clear moves transfer better than fast blurry ones.

  • Only use photos of people who agreed to it.

Example uses

How creators use AI motion control

Illustrative examples of typical workflows, not customer reviews.

  • Fantasy warrior mid sword swing in a misty courtyard

    Game character artist

    A game artist can drive a fantasy character render with a recorded sword swing so the move matches exactly.

  • Contemporary dancer in a white dress mid-spin in a concrete studio

    Choreographer

    A choreographer can film a routine once and copy it onto a stylised character for a class promo.

  • Streaming monitor showing a waving anime avatar

    Virtual creator

    A virtual creator can transfer their own gestures and expressions onto an original anime avatar.

FAQ

AI Motion Control questions

What is Kling Motion Control?

Kling's feature that moves a character from a still image exactly like the person in a reference video — body, gestures and facial expressions. Kenerate runs Kling 3.0 Pro Motion and Kling 3.0 Motion in its motion tool.

Link to this answer

How long can the reference video be?

3–30 seconds on Kling 3.0 (up to 100 MB). SCAIL 2, Wan 2.2 Animate 2 and SteadyDancer take clips up to 2 minutes; DreamActor v2 and PixVerse Mimic up to 30 seconds.

Link to this answer

Does it copy facial expressions?

Yes on engines built for it — Kling describes Motion Control as controlling both movement and facial expressions. DreamActor v2 is also focused on faces.

Link to this answer

Why is my output shorter than my reference?

The output follows the reference clip, but some engines trim it: Kenerate Motion uses the first 20 seconds and Kling's 'matches image' mode is limited to 10 seconds. Kling also notes fast or complex motion can shorten the result.

Link to this answer

Is there a free AI motion control tool?

Yes, to start: Kenerate's motion tool — Kling 3.0 Motion, SCAIL 2, Wan Animate and the other engines — works on the free plan with your sign-up credits. Bigger jobs use one-time credit packs that never expire.

Link to this answer

How do I use Kling AI motion control?

Open the motion tool and pick Kling 3.0 Pro Motion. Upload a character image (JPG or PNG, at least 300 px, up to 10 MB) and a 3–30 second reference video (up to 100 MB), choose 'matches video' or 'matches image', then generate. The result keeps the reference clip's sound, so a dance stays on the beat.

Link to this answer

What's the difference from image to video?

Image to video invents the movement from a prompt (like the examples on this page). Motion control copies the movement from a real reference video, so you get the exact dance or gesture.

Link to this answer

Can I use someone else's photo?

Only with their permission. Use your own photos, characters you made, or people who agreed to it.

How motion transfer works

The engine tracks the pose, hands and face of the person in the reference video frame by frame, then renders your character doing the same thing. Wan2.2-Animate describes two modes: animating a character image from a reference video, or replacing the person in the original video while matching its lighting.
