Motion Control — Your character performs the moves from a real video.

Motion Control is the motion-transfer tool from Kling AI (Kuaishou): it animates a character image by copying the gestures, facial expressions and body movement of a reference video. On Deepnia you add one character image and a 3–30 second motion video, choose the orientation and the resolution (720p or 1080p), and add a prompt only if you need one.

  • 1 image + 1 video
  • Motion video 3–30 s
  • 720p or 1080p
  • Video or image orientation
  • Optional prompt

The video tool opens with Motion Control already selected. The exact cost shows before every creation; you sign up when you generate.

What Motion Control does best

The video’s moves, your image’s look

Motion Control copies the gestures, expressions and body movement from the motion video and applies them to the character in your image. Film a routine on your phone and your mascot, avatar or illustration performs it.

Precise gestures, down to the hands

Kling highlights detailed hand gestures and complex moves such as dance, martial arts and sports, with full-body and facial sync.

Long actions up to 30 seconds

With video orientation, the motion video can run from 3 to 30 seconds, so a full dance routine or workout sequence fits in one creation.

Two ways to orient the character

With “Video orientation”, the character follows the video’s orientation and camera moves. With “Image orientation”, it copies the gestures but keeps your image’s orientation, with a motion video of 10 seconds at most.

Realistic or stylized

Kling says Motion Control works with human, anime and 3D characters as long as the style stays consistent. It animates the main character in your image.

Tips for better results

  1. Film one person in one continuous take, with no cuts or camera moves, keeping the body and head in frame.
  2. Frame the image like the video: full body with full body, waist up with waist up.
  3. Pick an image where the head and upper body, or the full body, are clearly visible, with no extreme angle.
  4. Favor smooth gestures over very fast moves: Kling says the result can be shortened when the motion is too fast or hard to follow.
  5. Use the prompt for the look and details (outfit, accessories, effects): the movement comes from the video.
  6. If several people appear in the video, Kling follows the one who takes up the most space in the frame: crop it to keep just one.

Good to know

  • For a long routine, up to 30 s, keep “Video orientation”; “Image orientation” takes a motion video of 10 s at most.
  • For a video longer than 30 seconds, split the routine into several motion videos and join the results in your editor.
  • The length and aspect ratio follow your files: frame the image and film the motion video in the same format, vertical for Reels, TikTok and Shorts, horizontal for YouTube.
  • Use an image and a video you have the rights to, such as a routine you filmed yourself.

Frequently asked questions

How does Motion Control work?

You provide a character image and a video of the movement to copy. The result keeps the look of the image and takes the gestures, expressions and body movement from the video.

How long can the motion video be?

From 3 to 30 seconds, or 10 seconds at most with “Image orientation”. The result follows that length; to make it run the full length, favor smooth gestures over very fast moves.

What is the difference between video and image orientation?

With video orientation, the character follows the video’s movements, expressions, orientation and camera moves. With image orientation, it copies the gestures and expressions but keeps the orientation of your image.

How should I film the motion video?

One person, one continuous take with no cuts or camera moves, body and head always visible, smooth rather than very fast gestures, and framing close to your image’s (full body with full body).

What is the prompt for?

It is optional: use it to specify the outfit, a detail or an element added to the image; the movement itself comes from the video.

How do I keep the same character across several videos?

Reuse the same character image for each creation: the look comes from the image, and each new motion video gives it new moves. Specify the outfit in the prompt if needed.

Which characters can I animate?

Kling says Motion Control works with human, anime and 3D characters as long as the style stays consistent. The image should clearly show the head and upper body, or the full body.
