What is Kling motion control?

Kling motion control is Kuaishou's feature that makes the character in one image copy the body movement, gestures and facial expressions of a 3–30 second reference video. Kenerate AI runs Kling 3.0 Pro Motion and Kling 3.0 Motion in its Motion Transfer tool, with an optional switch that keeps the clip's sound, and no API key.

Real results

Shots Kling-style motion suits

Martial arts, a workout, an umbrella spin, contemporary dance and an ice-skating turn — realistic human movement is where Kling's motion control shines.

These clips come from image to video runs, with the model on each card. With Kling motion control, the movement comes from your 3–30 second reference instead.

Kling 3.0 Pro Motion or Kling 3.0 Motion?

Tips

What Kling handles best

Based on Kling's own Motion Control guide and how the 3.0 engines behave.

  • Moderate speed beats very fast moves — Kling notes fast, complex motion can shorten the output.

  • No cuts and no camera moves in the reference.

  • Keep the character's whole body visible and unobstructed.

  • One person in the clip — Kling follows the largest figure.

  • Use the negative prompt for recurring problems such as warped hands.

  • Only animate people who agreed to it.

FAQ

Kling motion control questions

How do I use Kling motion control without the API?

Open Kenerate AI's Motion Transfer tool and pick Kling 3.0 Pro Motion or Kling 3.0 Motion. Upload a character image and a 3–30 second reference video, choose whether the pose follows the video or the image, add an optional prompt and negative prompt, and generate. There's no API key, no code and no subscription.

What's the difference between Kling 3.0 Pro Motion and Kling 3.0 Motion?

Both use the same Kling 3.0 controls: reference length, pose mode, prompt, negative prompt and the keep-sound switch. Pro Motion gives the highest fidelity on faces, cloth and hands and costs more per second; Kling 3.0 Motion is the standard tier for realistic body motion. Draft on the standard engine, then render the keeper on Pro.

Link to this answer

Why is my Kling output only 10 seconds?

Because 'pose follows the image' is limited to 10 seconds, so a longer reference is trimmed. Switch to 'pose follows the video' for references up to 30 seconds. Kling's own guide also says fast or complex movement can produce a shorter result than the reference, so a calmer clip may help.

Link to this answer

Does Kling motion control keep the original audio?

Yes, if you leave the Keep sound switch on: the result carries the reference clip's audio, so a dance stays on the beat and speech stays in sync. Turn it off for a silent clip you'll score later. Most other engines in the tool are silent, apart from SCAIL 2, Kenerate Motion, LTX-2 Control and DreamActor v2.

Can I use Kling motion control free?

New accounts get starter credits to try it, and there's no subscription — after that, Kling jobs are paid per second of clip with credits, and failed jobs are refunded automatically. Kling's own app sells its own credits, with Motion Control priced per second on its guide page (checked 3 October 2026).

Link to this answer

What image works best for Kling motion control?

A clear, unobstructed photo of one character, matching the reference's framing: half body for a half-body clip, full body for a full-body dance. On Kenerate the image must be JPG or PNG, at least 300 px, up to 10 MB, with a ratio between 1:2.5 and 2.5:1. Avoid props covering the hands or face.

Link to this answer

Can I animate a photo of someone else with Kling?

Only with their permission. Use your own photos, characters you designed, or people who agreed to be animated — never celebrities or strangers. Kling copies facial expressions closely, which makes consent even more important, so label the result as AI-made when you share it.

Pose follows the video vs pose follows the image

With 'pose follows the video' the character copies the reference's movement, expressions and orientation — if the dancer turns to the side, so does your character — for clips up to 30 seconds. With 'pose follows the image' the movement still comes from the clip, but the character keeps the orientation of your photo; Kenerate limits this mode to 10 seconds. Pick the image mode when your photo's angle matters more than the dancer's.
