Motion reference guide
Give your character a movement reference. Use an image to set the appearance and a video to guide the action, then check how the character moves through the scene.
See how motion control worksKeep appearance and performance separate in your brief. The image defines who appears; the video guides how they move.
Appearance reference
Start with a clear image of the character you want to animate. Keep the face and the parts of the body that need to move visible. For clothing creative, use an image that shows the actual garment details you need to preserve.
Movement reference
Choose a reference clip with a readable action: a small turn, a gesture, or a short walk. The motion reference guides movement; it does not replace the character image or prove the accuracy of a product.
Kling documents motion control in its official user guide. Check that guide and the tool you use for current model versions, supported inputs, and limits.
Study the movement
Use these existing Drizzle showcase clips to study framing and character movement. They are not a new Kling benchmark or a documented run of the instructions on this page.
Notice the camera distance and where the body stays visible as the subject moves.
Follow the garment through the movement. Pause at the closer crop to inspect edges, fabric, and hands.
A full-body walk reference asks more of a tightly cropped portrait than a small head turn does. Choose references that give the model enough visible information for the intended action.
Pause where hands cross the body, the subject turns, or the garment leaves view. Check identity and product details at those moments, then watch the complete clip at normal speed.
Kling motion control uses a character image and a driving video to guide character movement in a generated clip. Kling’s official guide describes control over movement and facial expressions. The result still needs review for identity, motion, and visual consistency.
In an ordinary image-to-video workflow, you typically describe the movement in a prompt. Motion control adds a video reference that demonstrates the performance. It is useful when a gesture or sequence is easier to show than to describe.
No. The guided motion-control workflow is currently paused in Drizzle. This page explains the technique and inputs; it does not offer an active motion-control generator. You can use Drizzle for product images and prompt-led short videos, or consult Kling’s official guide for its current offering.
Use footage you own or have permission to use. Permission to use a movement reference does not automatically include permission to reuse a person’s face, voice, or endorsement.
Do not assume exact preservation. Watch for changes in facial features, garment patterns, seams, and hand contact, especially during turns or occlusion. A convincing first frame does not establish consistency through the rest of the clip.
Check the current price and input limits in the service you plan to use. Drizzle is not offering motion-control generation through this page, so its general video prices should not be treated as a quote for this workflow.
