Motion control AI: make your photo copy any dance or move
Upload a photo and a video with the moves. Kling 3.0 Motion Control makes the person in your photo dance, gesture and walk exactly like the video, camera moves included. From 8 credits for a 5-second clip, up to 30 seconds.
See the moves carry over
A recorded example from the Viralance video editor: the video with the moves, and a different person from a photo doing the same moves with Kling 3.0 Motion Control.
What to prepare before you generate
- A clear photo with one visible subject and nothing covering the body or face.
- A video with the moves: one dancer or performer, fully in frame for the whole clip. Up to 30 seconds when the result follows the video.
- Matching framing: a full-body dance needs a full-body photo; a waist-up gesture works with a waist-up photo.
- Review the face, hands and movement before publishing. Motion copying can distort faces and hands and does not guarantee an exact copy.

Why creators use it

- Built for dance videos: trends, choreography and short dance loops up to 30 seconds in one take.

- An optional face close-up keeps the face closer to the person in your photo.
- Clear per-clip prices: Kling 3.0 is 8 credits for 5 seconds, 16 for 10 and 48 for 30. Kling 3.0 Pro is 11 to 63. Failed jobs are refunded automatically.
- One-time credit packs with no subscription, so you pay only for the clips you make.
Use cases

- Reuse one AI influencer photo across many dances and gestures while the face stays the same.
- Recreate a gesture or walk from a reference clip for an ad without a new shoot.
Frequently asked questions
What is motion control AI?
Motion control AI takes the movement from one video and applies it to the person in a still photo. On Viralance it runs on Kling 3.0 Motion Control: you upload a photo and a video with the moves, and the result is a new clip of your subject doing those moves, with the camera movement copied too.
How do I make an AI dance video from a photo?
Open Copy Motion in the video editor, upload a full-body or upper-body photo, add the dance video you want copied and leave Follow set to the video. A 10-second dance on Kling 3.0 costs 16 credits and a 30-second one costs 48.
How much does motion control cost?
Kling 3.0 is priced per second of the motion video, with a 5-second minimum: 8 credits for 5 seconds, 16 for 10 and 48 for 30. Kling 3.0 Pro runs from 11 credits (5 seconds) to 63 (30 seconds). DreamActor v2 is a flat 12 credits. The server measures your video and shows the exact cost before you start.
How long can the video be?
Up to 30 seconds when the result follows the video, which is the setting for dances and big moves. When the result keeps your photo's pose and framing, the motion video can be up to 10 seconds.
Does it work on cartoon characters, mascots or pets?
Yes. The photo can be you, an actor, an illustrated character, a mascot or a pet. Results are best when the subject is shown like the person in the motion video, for example full body for a full-body dance.
