Kling Motion Control API — Reference-Driven Motion Transfer

Drive a single reference image with a reference video and the Kling Motion Control API transfers the motion onto your subject. Two tiers, std or pro quality, billed per second of source footage.

Model type:
Price
Standard mode$0.1132/ 1 second
Pro mode$0.1508/ 1 second

Latest tier — higher motion fidelity and subject consistency.

Same API endpoint. The model parameter selects the variant.

What you can build

Real workflows powered by this model.

01/case

Bring a still subject to life with a reference clip

Upload a subject image and a short motion video. The Kling Motion Control API maps the reference motion onto your subject and returns a clip that keeps the original identity while adopting the movement, rhythm, and timing of the reference.

Generate a clip
02/case

Reuse one performance across many subjects

Record a single reference performance once, then swap the reference image to apply the same choreography to different characters. Consistent motion, different subjects — useful for avatars, mascots, and recurring social formats.

03/case

Match the take to your shot direction

Pick image orientation to anchor the facing to your reference photo, or video orientation to follow the reference clip and allow up to 30 seconds. Set keep_original_sound to carry the reference soundtrack into the output.

Why reAPI

01

Reference image plus reference video

The Kling Motion Control API reads the subject from a reference image and the motion from a reference video, so the output keeps identity while adopting the reference movement. No keyframes, no rigging.

02

Two tiers, one request shape

Kling Motion Control ships two tiers: Kling v3 maximizes motion fidelity and subject consistency, while Kling v2.6 is the budget tier with the same parameters. Switch tiers by changing one string — the request body is identical.

03

Pay for the seconds you use

Kling Motion Control billing is per second of the source video, measured server-side from the actual clip length rather than a client estimate. Pick std or pro to trade cost for quality. Failed jobs refund automatically.

06vs

Kling Motion Control vs Runway Act-Two

Both transfer motion from a driving video onto a target subject. Kling Motion Control takes a reference image plus a reference video, supports image or video orientation, and bills per second across two tiers. Here is how the two compare on publicly documented behavior.

Capability
Kling Motion Control on reAPI
Runway Act-Two
Motion source
In Kling Motion Control, a reference video drives the motion; the subject comes from a single reference image.
A driving performance video animates a character image or generated character.
Subject input
One reference image fixes the subject's appearance and identity.
A character image or a generated character reference.
Orientation control
Kling Motion Control's character_orientation picks whether facing follows the reference image or the reference video.
Facing follows the driving performance; no separate orientation switch documented.
Source audio
keep_original_sound retains the reference video's soundtrack in the output.
Audio is tied to the driving performance video.
Clip length
Kling Motion Control runs up to 10s with image orientation or 30s with video orientation, set by the source clip.
Short performance clips; length follows the driving video.
Pricing model
Kling Motion Control bills per second of probed source footage; two tiers trade cost for fidelity, pay-as-you-go credits.
Credit-based pricing tied to plan and resolution.

Comparison reflects publicly documented behavior at the time of writing. Model behavior and pricing can change; check the pricing card above and the API docs for current values.

Frequently asked questions

Common questions about this model.

The Kling Motion Control API is a reference-driven motion-transfer video model. You pass a reference image (the subject) and a reference video (the motion), and Kling Motion Control returns a clip of your subject performing the reference motion. An optional prompt refines camera, motion, and style.
