Kling 3.0 Motion Control
Kling 3.0 Standard Motion Control transfers motion from reference videos to animate still images.
Kling 
WaveSpeed Motion transfer from reference video to still images
Kling 3.0 Motion Control is a video generation model developed by Kling that specializes in motion transfer. It takes a reference video and a source still image as inputs, then animates the still image by applying the motion patterns extracted from the reference video. This makes it distinct from standard text-to-video or image-to-video models, as the motion itself is explicitly guided by an existing video clip rather than inferred from a prompt alone.
The model is well-suited for workflows where consistent, repeatable motion is required across different subjects or scenes — for example, applying a specific walking cycle, gesture, or camera movement to a new character or background image. It accepts image URLs, video URLs, text, and configuration inputs, giving users control over how the motion transfer is applied. With a context window of 1000 tokens, it is designed for focused, single-generation tasks rather than extended multi-turn interactions.
What Kling 3.0 Motion Control supports
Motion Transfer
Extracts motion patterns from a reference video and applies them to animate a still source image, enabling repeatable motion reuse across different subjects.
Image Animation
Takes a static source image as input and generates a video output by driving it with motion derived from the reference clip.
Reference Video Input
Accepts a video URL as the motion reference, allowing any existing video clip to serve as the motion guide for generation.
Configurable Generation
Supports select and toggleGroup inputs so users can adjust generation parameters such as aspect ratio or duration before rendering.
Text Prompt Support
Accepts an optional text input to provide additional context or stylistic guidance alongside the image and video inputs.

What inputs does Kling 3.0 Motion Control require?
The model requires at minimum a source image URL and a reference video URL. It also accepts text prompts and configuration options via select and toggleGroup inputs to adjust generation behavior.
What is the context window for this model?
Kling 3.0 Motion Control has a context window of 1000 tokens, which is sized for single-generation tasks rather than extended conversational or multi-turn use.
What makes this model different from a standard image-to-video model?
Unlike standard image-to-video models that infer motion from a text prompt or the image itself, Kling 3.0 Motion Control uses an explicit reference video to guide the motion, giving users direct control over how the output moves.
What types of motion can be transferred?
Any motion present in the reference video clip can be transferred — including character movements, gestures, or camera motions — and applied to the provided still source image.
Is a training cutoff date available for this model?
No training date is listed in the available metadata for Kling 3.0 Motion Control.
