Kling V3 Pro Motion Control

Animate a still character using the motion from a reference video.

Upload a character image. Upload a reference video with the performance you want. Write a short prompt pointing Kling V3 Pro at the subject in the video to copy. Hit Run and Kling generates a video of your character matching that motion, with your choice of keeping or stripping the reference audio.

How do you transfer motion from a video to a character image with Kling V3 Pro?

Upload the character image, upload the reference video with the motion you want, and write a short prompt telling Kling which subject in the video to follow ("the boy", "the dancer on the left"). Pick whether to keep the reference audio, hit Run, and Kling V3 Pro renders a video of your character performing that motion.

Character image The still your subject comes from. Clean framing helps. One clear subject in the frame, good lighting, and a pose that gives Kling a read on the body and face gets you further than a busy composition.

Reference video The motion source. Whoever or whatever is moving in this video is what gets transferred. Shorter clips with a clear, well-framed subject land better than long, cluttered footage.

Prompt A short line telling Kling which subject in the reference video to track. "The boy" works. "The dancer on the left" works. Skip long descriptions of the motion or your character. You're pointing, not scripting.

Character orientation Tells Kling how your character is posed in the reference image. Leave it alone on the first run. If the result comes back twisted or off-axis, switch it and run again.

Keep original sound Default is off. Turn it on when you want the reference video's audio carried over (music, dialogue, footsteps). Leave it off for silent video you'll score separately.

What is Kling V3 Pro Motion Control good for?

Turning a still character into a performing one. Dance moves pulled from a music video onto your own character. Action performances lifted from reference footage. A photo of someone made to walk, sit, wave, or nod using a clip you filmed or found. You bring the look, the reference brings the motion.

Good fits: character consistency across animated sequences (one image, many motions). Stylized performers where a real actor's movement is the reference. Storyboarding motion tests without hand-animating.

Where it struggles: radical style mismatches (a cartoon character taking mocap from a gritty live-action clip), multiple subjects in one frame, and motion where heavy camera movement competes with the body performance.

FAQ

What kind of reference video works best for Kling V3 Pro Motion Control? A short clip with one clear subject. Full-body visibility through the motion helps. Clean backgrounds reduce confusion about what's moving. Dance clips, action moves, walk cycles, and gestures all transfer well. Avoid cluttered crowd shots or heavy camera shake.

What character images work for Kling V3 Pro Motion Control? Clear, well-lit images of a single subject with the body visible enough to animate. Head-and-shoulders crops limit what Kling can transfer. A full-body or three-quarter view gives the model the best read on pose and proportions.

How should I write the prompt for Kling V3 Pro Motion Control? Short and pointed. You're telling Kling which subject in the reference video to copy. "The boy," "the woman in red," "the person on the left" all work. Don't describe the motion itself, and don't describe your character. Kling reads those from the inputs.

Does Kling V3 Pro Motion Control keep the audio from the reference video? Only if you turn on keep_original_sound. Default is off, which gives you a silent video. Turn it on when the reference audio is part of what you want. Leave it off when you plan to add your own score.
