Copy movement from a video
Motion control models take a character image and a driving video. They animate the character with the motion of the video, so you control performance precisely instead of describing it in a prompt.
- Kling V3 Motion Control (Standard 720p, Pro 1080p): transfers motion, expressions and camera movement. It is one of the most used Kling endpoints on SandBase.
- Kling V2.6 Motion Control: the previous generation, Standard and Pro.
- Wan 2.2 Animate Move animates the character with the video's motion; Animate Replace swaps the person in the video for your character.
- DreamActor 2.0 (ByteDance): transfers motion, facial expressions and lip movement.
More Kling options are on Kling 3.0 API. For talking avatars driven by audio, see lip-sync models.
