How to use Kling Motion Control in 3 steps
The short answer
Upload one character photo, add one 3–30 s motion video, pick a model and press Generate. The video is ready in 2–5 minutes. It runs in the browser, with no Kling app or account, and new accounts get 200 free credits.

Add one motion video
An MP4 of 3 to 30 seconds, up to 50 MB, with one person in one continuous shot. Record it yourself or use a clip you have the right to use.

Tips for a clean result
- Use the same framing in the photo and the video: full body with full body, half body with half body.
- Pick a clip with one person and no cuts or transitions.
- Steady, moderate moves track better than spins and jumps.
- Keep the head and hands visible in the photo, with nothing covering the face.
