Common Questions

Motion Control FAQ

Practical questions about using motion references to direct your character's performance.

I

What is Motion Control?

Motion Control transfers movement from a reference clip onto your character. Pick a dance, action, or camera move from the library — the AI applies that motion to your subject while keeping their identity and outfit.

II

How is this different from Image-to-Video?

Image-to-Video lets you describe motion in text. Motion Control gives you a literal reference video to drive movement, so the timing, choreography, and camera behavior match the reference precisely.

III

What do I need to get started?

Two inputs: a motion reference (from the Motion Library or your own short clip) and a character image showing your subject clearly framed from head to feet.

IV

What kind of character image works best?

Full-body shots in good lighting, with the subject facing the camera and limbs not heavily cropped. Clean backgrounds and consistent outfit details help identity preservation.

V

Can I upload my own motion reference?

Yes. Upload any short clip up to 8 seconds. For best transfer results, use clips with one clearly visible person performing the motion against a clean background.

VI

Why are some Motion Library clips marked PRO?

PRO clips are premium choreography from licensed creators. They unlock with any paid plan; starter clips are available on every account.

VII

How long can the generated motion be?

Generations match the reference clip length, capped at the model maximum. Most Kling motion runs land between 5 and 8 seconds per generation.

VIII

What if the result drifts off-character?

Try a clearer, larger character image, simplify the background, or pick a reference clip closer to your subject in body type and framing. Re-running with a different start frame often resolves drift.
