What you will make
A clip where your character, your animal or a new person does the exact moves from the reference video, with the same timing, in the place and style you pick.
You need
- 1.A clip of the movement, one person, one continuous shot
- 2.A picture of your character, or an idea for one
- 3.An idea for the place and the look
1. Pick the right model
All three copy movement, from different starting points. Use Kling 3.0 Motion when you have a picture of a person, Kling 2.6 Motion when your character is an animal, and Kling 3.0 Omni when you have footage and want to change who is in it.
One picture of your character plus one clip of the movement. The character does the moves from the clip, beat for beat. Clips of 3 to 30 seconds. Best for dances, gestures and full body performances.
2. Choose a clean movement clip
The clip decides the result. A clear, steady move from one person copies well; a busy clip does not.
- 1One person, one continuous shot, no cuts. With several people, the biggest one in the frame is the one copied.
- 2Steady, moderate moves. Fast spins and crossed arms turn into melting limbs.
- 3The whole body in view, a plain background and good light.
Tip: Kling 3.0 Motion takes 3 to 30 seconds and Kling 3.0 Omni 3 to 15 seconds. A longer clip opens the trimmer, so pick its cleanest part.
3. Make a character that matches the first frame
The picture and the clip have to agree. Same framing, same facing direction, a pose close to where the clip starts.
- 1In the Media Studio, open the Model card, Image tab, and pick an image model like Seedream 5.0 Pro.
- 2Full body clip, full body picture. Arms, hands and feet in view, with space around them to move.
- 3Open the result and press Use Image.
PromptA full body photo of a young woman standing in the middle of an empty concrete rooftop, facing the camera, arms relaxed at her sides, feet slightly apart. Short bleached hair, silver hoop earrings, an oversized denim jacket over a white crop top, black cargo pants, white chunky sneakers. The camera is at chest height, far enough back to show her whole body from head to toe with space on every side. Golden hour light from the left, a hazy city skyline behind her, plain grey sky. Sharp, realistic, natural skin texture, no motion blur. No text, no logos, no watermarks anywhere in the frame.
Tip: Use a character you made, or a photo of yourself or someone who agreed to it.
4. Set up Kling 3.0 Motion
The Motion Control tool has one slot for the picture and one for the clip. In the example, a clip of a woman dancing in her bedroom went in as The movement and a picture of Iron Man as The subject.
- 1In the Media Studio, open Tools and pick Motion Control.
- 2Put your picture in The subject and your clip in The movement.
- 3Set Character Orientation, then 720p for tests and 1080p for the final.
The default. The body faces and moves the way it does in the clip, and the camera follows the clip too. Clips up to 30 seconds. Pick it for dances and choreography.
Tip: The result is as long as your clip and keeps its sound. You pay per second of the clip, so test a short piece first.

When your character is an animal, switch to Kling 2.6 Motion. It accepts animal pictures more easily and copies the moves the same way.
- 1In Motion Control, switch the model from Kling 3.0 Motion to Kling 2.6 Motion.
- 2Put a picture of the animal in The subject and the dance in The movement.
- 3Show the whole animal with space around it, the same full body rule as with people.
Tip: Clips of 3 to 30 seconds, the same as Kling 3.0 Motion, and the same 720p and 1080p choice.

6. Write the scene, not the moves
The movement already comes from the clip. The prompt sets the place, the light and the style. Describing the moves again fights the clip.
- 1Keep it to three to five short points.
- 2Say where it happens, the light and the look.
- 3Add fixed lens or tripod shot if the camera should not drift.
PromptOn the rooftop at golden hour, warm light from the left, the city skyline behind her. Realistic, shot on a phone on a tripod, fixed lens.
7. Or restyle your own footage with Kling 3.0 Omni
Transform keeps every move, the camera move and the timing of your clip, and repaints the rest. The result is exactly as long as your clip.
- 1Model card, Video tab, Kling 3.0 Omni, Transform tab.
- 2Add your clip in Source video, MP4 or MOV, 3 to 15 seconds. Add up to 4 Reference images to steer the look.
- 3Write what changes: the place, the wardrobe, the style or the era.
PromptTurn this into a rainy night on a neon lit street. Keep every movement, the camera move and the timing exactly as in the clip. She wears a yellow raincoat and white sneakers. Wet reflections on the ground, cinematic, realistic.
Tip: Transform keeps the shape of your clip. To pick an aspect ratio, use the References tab instead.
8. Make your own version of a famous trend with Kling 3.0 Omni
The famous trends, like the hotel lobby video or 679, keep the original clip as it is and change who is in it. Kling 3.0 Omni Transform does exactly that: the music video in Source video, a picture of each new person in Reference images, and one short prompt.
- 1Model card, Video tab, Kling 3.0 Omni, Transform tab.
- 2Add the part of the music video you want in Source video, 3 to 15 seconds.
- 3Add a picture for every person you want in it, up to 4 Reference images, then use the prompt below.
Add one picture. The same prompt works, and only one person changes while everything else stays as filmed. That is how the hotel lobby one above was made.
PromptReplace the characters from the video with the ones from the images. Do not change anything else.
Tip: Pick the part of the song everyone knows, 15 seconds at most. Clear, front facing pictures keep the new faces steady.

9. Fix what goes wrong
Most bad results come from the clip or the picture, not the prompt. Find yours and change that one thing.
The clip has more than one person, and the biggest one was copied. Use a clip with one person, or trim to a part where only they are in the frame.
Avoid these
- A clip with cuts or more than one person in it.
- A close up picture with a full body clip.
- Describing the moves in the prompt instead of the scene.
- A clip longer than 10 seconds with Character Orientation set to Image.
- Rendering the whole clip at 1080p before a short test.
- Using Kling 3.0 Motion for an animal when Kling 2.6 Motion takes it more easily.
Copying movement from a video
Use Kling 3.0 Motion. Open Tools, pick Motion Control, put a picture of your character in The subject and the clip in The movement. The character does the moves from the clip with the same timing.
Kling 3.0 Motion moves a picture with the motion of a clip. Kling 3.0 Omni Transform takes your footage, keeps its motion and camera move, and changes the look. Use Kling 3.0 Motion when you have a picture, Kling 3.0 Omni when you have footage.
Use Kling 3.0 Omni in the Transform tab. Put the part of the hotel lobby video you want in Source video, add a picture of the person you want in it under Reference images, and write: Replace the characters from the video with the ones from the images. Do not change anything else.
The same way as the hotel lobby trend, with one picture for each person you want in it. Kling 3.0 Omni keeps the room, the moves and the timing and swaps the people.
Yes. Add one picture under Reference images in Kling 3.0 Omni Transform and only one person changes, like in the hotel lobby example above.
Yes. Use Kling 2.6 Motion in the Motion Control tool: a picture of the animal in The subject and a dance clip in The movement. It takes animals more easily than Kling 3.0 Motion.
Kling 3.0 Motion takes 3 to 30 seconds, or up to 10 seconds with Character Orientation set to Image. Kling 3.0 Omni takes 3 to 15 seconds. A longer clip opens the trimmer so you can pick the part to use.
No. The movement comes from the clip, and describing it again can fight it. Use the prompt for the place, the light and the style.
Video for dances and choreography: the body and the camera follow the clip, up to 30 seconds. Image when your picture is already posed the way you want: the body keeps facing that way, up to 10 seconds.
Your clip has more than one person, and the biggest one in the frame gets copied. Use a clip with one person, or trim to a part where only they are in view.
The move is too fast, the limbs cross, or they are hidden in the picture. Pick a steadier part of the clip, and make the picture with arms, hands and feet in view.
With Kling 3.0 Motion, yes: the result keeps the sound of the clip you gave it, and it is as long as that clip.
