About Kling 3.0 Motion Control

Kling 3.0 Motion Control is Kuaishou's motion-transfer mode in the Kling 3.0 generation. It pairs a character image with a motion reference clip, so a performance you film or pick is re-staged on a different visual subject. Use it to direct gestures and choreography exactly, and to judge how a movement transfers. It outputs at 720p or 1080p.

Where it works well

Re-stages a real performance on an illustrated, stylized or photographic character from a single image.
Sits in the Kling 3.0 generation, which Kuaishou describes as stronger on consistency and element control.
Lets you iterate on the character image while holding the movement constant, which isolates what you are changing.
Offers a lower resolution for tests and 1080p for finals.

When to choose another model

It needs both a character image and a motion reference clip; it cannot invent movement from text alone.
If you only need a short prompt-driven shot, a text-to-video model is faster to set up than preparing a reference.

Parameters

Motion control

Parameter	Values and limits	Default	Notes
`image_url`	Inputs: ≥ 1, ≤ 1	Not provided	Not provided
`operation`Required	Not provided	Not provided	Not provided
`prompt`	Not provided	Not provided	Not provided
`resolution`Required	720p, 1080p	Not provided	Not provided
`video_url`	Inputs: ≥ 1, ≤ 1	Not provided	Not provided

TokenLab public contract maps a single image_url plus a single video_url into Kling Motion Control's input_urls/video_urls arrays.

Current public contract fixes character_orientation=image and background_source=input_video.

The official motion-control operation preserves the reference video soundtrack by default. This is original-audio retention, not native soundtrack generation; no new selector is added to the public subset.

Pricing

The Verified price applies to Verified, which costs less on most models. The Official price is the model maker's published price and applies to the more reliable Official route. Auto bills the route that completes the request.

FAQ

What does Kling 3.0 Motion Control take as input?

A character image and a motion reference clip, plus an optional prompt for scene and style. The reference defines the movement; the image defines who performs it.

Which resolutions are available?

720p and 1080p, per the catalog. A common pattern is to test the character and reference pairing at 720p first, then render the version you keep at 1080p.

Should I use this or Kling 2.6 Motion Control?

Choose this one for new work in the 3.0 generation. The 2.6 version remains available if you have settled results on it and want to reproduce them.

Can it generate audio?

The catalog lists only the motion-control operation and gives no audio options for this model, so plan to add narration, music or sound effects separately in editing.

On TokenLab, Kling 3.0 Motion Control costs $0.126-$0.168 per second. The pricing table above shows the full breakdown. Rates depend on the billing unit, specification, and usage. Compare matching conditions in the model's detailed pricing; a single rate does not determine the total cost.
