## About Kling 2.6 Motion Control

Kling 2.6 Motion Control is a video-to-video capability of Kuaishou's Kling Video 2.6 generation, rolled out in December 2025. It transfers the performance in a reference video onto a static character image: body movement, hand gestures, facial expression, and lip sync are captured from the clip you upload and re-performed by the character you choose. Kuaishou's own guide and press coverage describe it as the 2.6 line's answer to motion-transfer tools.

On Artifio it runs in the same workspace as the rest of the catalogue, paid per generation from one wallet.

## Features

- Accepts a reference video of 3 to 30 seconds to define the motion sequence.
- Transfers full-body movement, hand gestures, facial expressions, and lip sync onto a static character image.
- Handles fast, intricate actions such as martial arts sequences and dance routines.
- Reference clips must be a single continuous shot; if several people appear, the system binds to the person occupying the largest frame area.
- Reference video resolution must fall between a 340 pixel short edge and a 3850 pixel long edge.
- Output supports full-body and half-body motion.

## What people use it for

- Dance and choreography transfer: one recorded performance re-performed by any character.
- Animating a mascot or illustrated character with an actor's recorded movement.
- Martial arts and stunt previews without motion-capture hardware.
- Matching a spoken performance, since lip sync and expression carry over with the motion.

## Reported strengths

- Hand movement renders precisely and without the artifacts that plagued earlier motion transfer, according to press coverage of the release.
- Facial expression and lip sync stay natural and synchronized through complex full-body action.
- Thirty seconds of difficult motion can be captured in one continuous take.

## Reported limitations

- Reference clips need a single continuous shot; cuts, scene changes, and camera movement in the reference degrade results.
- Only one character receives the motion binding per generation.
- Very fast reference motion can shorten the usable output, and Kuaishou recommends moderate, steady movement.
- A large mismatch between the character image and the reference face, such as an animal face for a human performance, reduces quality.
