How to Copy Real Human Motion Using Kling 2.6 Motion Control (Step-by-Step Guide)

With the release of Kling 2.6 Motion Control, you can now copy real human motion — including body movements, hand gestures, and facial expressions — from any reference video and apply it to any image. No animation skills. No keyframes. No complex setup.

This guide will show you exactly how to use Kling 2.6 Motion Control, step by step, even if you’re a complete beginner.

What Is Kling 2.6 Motion Control?

Kling 2.6 Motion Control is a new feature inside the KlingAI app that lets you transfer motion from a real video to a still image.

Instead of manually animating a character, you simply:

1. Upload an image (your character)

2. Upload a motion reference video

3. Click generate

Kling handles the rest — perfectly syncing body motion, hands, facial expressions, and timing.

This makes it ideal for:

• Viral dance videos

• Meme content

• Short-form Reels and TikToks

• AI characters

• Brand videos

• Educational content

What You Need Before You Start

Before generating your first motion-controlled video, prepare these two things:

1. A Character Image

This can be:

• A person

• A character

• An animal

• A stylized AI image

• A baby or pet photo

Tip:
Match full-body images with full-body motion references for best results.

2. A Motion Reference Video

This is the video Kling will copy motion from.

Good motion references include:

• Dance videos (moderate speed)

• Facial expression videos

• Hand gesture performances

• Simple sports or body movements

Avoid videos with heavy camera shake or fast horizontal movement.

Choose the image you want to animate.

Make sure:

Step 5: Click Generate

This usually takes only a few seconds.

Best Practices for High-Quality Results
