Kling V3 Motion Control AI Video Generator
Transfer any motion from a reference video onto any character — dance moves, gestures, expressions — with improved consistency and up to 1080p quality.
Kling V3 Motion Control lets you take the motion from one video and apply it to a completely different character. Upload a reference image of the person or character you want to animate, provide a video showing the motion you want them to perform, and the model generates a new video combining the character's appearance with the reference motion.
This V3.0 update from Kuaishou brings significantly improved element consistency and higher quality output compared to V2.6, with better preservation of character identity and smoother motion transfer. On NeonLights AI, you get instant access to both Standard (720p) and Pro (1080p) modes with dynamic duration matching.
Key Features
Motion Transfer
Upload any reference video and the model replicates its motion — dances, gestures, walks, expressions — onto your character image with smooth, natural‑looking animation.
Character Preservation
The V3.0 update delivers improved identity preservation. Faces, clothing, and style from your reference image are maintained accurately throughout the generated video.
Character Orientation Control
Choose "image" to keep the character facing the same direction as the photo (up to 10s), or "video" to match the orientation from the reference video (up to 30s).
Dual Quality Modes
Standard mode renders at 720p for cost‑effective results (18 credits/s). Pro mode delivers 1080p output for higher quality productions (32 credits/s).
Dynamic Duration
Output video length automatically matches your reference video — no fixed duration slots. You only pay per second of output generated.
Original Audio Preservation
Option to keep the original sound from your reference video in the output, so music or dialogue stays synchronized with the transferred motion.
How It Works
Step 1 — Upload a reference image of the character whose appearance you want in the output.
Step 2 — Upload a reference video showing the motion you want the character to follow.
Step 3 — Optionally add a text prompt to guide elements, backgrounds, and motion effects.
Step 4 — Choose character orientation: "image" keeps the character facing the same direction as in the picture (max 10s), "video" matches the character's orientation in the reference video (max 30s).
Step 5 — Choose quality mode: Standard for 720p (cost‑effective) or Pro for 1080p (higher quality).
The model transfers the motion from your reference video onto the character from your image, generating smooth, natural‑looking animation.
Dance & Gesture Transfer
Make any character perform a specific dance or gesture from a reference video. Film yourself doing a dance move, upload it as the reference, and apply that exact motion to an illustrated character, a photographed person, or even a stylized avatar. The model captures the timing, flow, and nuance of the original movement.
Character Animation
Bring illustrated or photographed characters to life with realistic motion from real footage. This is perfect for animating static artwork, game characters, or product mascots without traditional animation tools. The V3.0 update ensures the character's identity remains consistent throughout the animation.
Social Media & Marketing
Create eye‑catching videos by combining a subject's look with trending motion clips. Animate product mascots with specific movements for marketing campaigns, or create viral content by applying popular dances to custom characters.
The original sound preservation option lets you keep background music or dialogue from the reference video, making it easy to create content that's ready to post.
Tips for Best Results
Keep character proportions consistent between the image and the reference video. Avoid using a full‑body reference video with a half‑body image — the model works best when proportions match.
Make sure the character's entire body and head are clearly visible and not obstructed in the reference image.
Use reference videos with clear, steady movements. The model handles moderate motion well but may struggle with very fast or chaotic movement.
Match your text prompt to the motion being transferred to help the model understand context. For example, if the reference video shows dancing, include "dancing" in your prompt.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is Kling V3 Motion Control?
It's an AI video model that transfers motion from a reference video onto a character from a reference image. You provide the look and the motion separately, and the model combines them into a new video.
What inputs do I need?
You need a reference image (the character you want to animate) and a reference video (the motion you want to transfer). A text prompt is optional but helps guide the output.
What is the difference between image and video orientation?
Image orientation keeps the character facing the same direction as in the reference photo (max 10 seconds). Video orientation matches the character's facing direction to the reference video (max 30 seconds).
How much does Kling V3 Motion Control cost?
Standard mode (720p) costs 18 credits per second and Pro mode (1080p) costs 32 credits per second. The output duration matches your reference video, so you only pay for what you generate.
What's improved in V3.0 compared to V2.6?
V3.0 brings improved element consistency, higher quality output, better character identity preservation, and smoother motion transfer compared to the previous V2.6 version.
Can I keep the audio from the reference video?
Yes. There's an option to preserve the original sound from your reference video in the output, keeping music or dialogue synchronized with the transferred motion.
