FAQ: Q: What is AI motion control? A: AI motion control is a technique that transfers body movement from a reference video onto a character image. The AI analyzes the motion in the reference — walking, dancing, gesturing, facial expressions — and replicates it on your character while preserving the character's appearance, clothing, and art style. Q: How does motion control AI work? A: Upload a character image and a reference video. The AI extracts the motion pattern from the video — body pose, limb positions, facial movement, and timing — and applies it to the character image frame by frame. The result is a new video where the character performs the same motion while retaining their original appearance, clothing, and visual style. Q: Which AI models are available for motion control? A: AI Edit offers three motion control models: Kling 2.6 Motion Control for reliable animation, Kling 3.0 Motion Control for high-fidelity motion transfer with improved realism, and ByteDance DreamActor 2.0 for expressive character acting and facial motion transfer. Q: What is Kling 3.0 Motion Control? A: Kling 3.0 Motion Control is the latest motion control model from Kling AI. It delivers high-fidelity motion transfer with improved realism, better handling of complex body movements, and more natural character animation compared to earlier versions. Q: What is Kling 2.6 Motion Control? A: Kling 2.6 Motion Control is a reliable motion transfer model that accurately replicates reference video movements onto character images. It offers consistent quality and is well-suited for standard dance, gesture, and action motion transfer tasks. Q: What is ByteDance DreamActor 2.0? A: ByteDance DreamActor 2.0 is a motion control model specialized in expressive character acting. It excels at facial expression transfer, lip sync, head movements, and nuanced character performance, making it ideal for talking-head videos and character acting sequences. Q: What kind of reference video do I need? A: Any video showing the motion you want to transfer — a dance clip, walking sequence, workout routine, martial arts form, or any body movement. Clear, well-lit videos with visible body parts produce the best results. The video must be within the model's duration limits. Q: What character images work best for motion control? A: Full-body or upper-body images with a clear, visible pose work best. The character should be facing the camera with visible limbs. Real photos, anime characters, digital illustrations, 3D renders, and AI-generated portraits all work as character inputs. Q: Can I use motion control with anime characters? A: Yes. The AI preserves the original art style while transferring motion. Upload an anime character image and a reference video, and the motion control model animates the character while maintaining the anime aesthetic. Q: Can I use a 3D render as the character? A: Yes. Motion control works with 3D character renders, game assets, and CGI portraits. The AI transfers motion onto any visual character representation. Q: What is the character orientation setting? A: Character orientation has two modes: Image mode is optimized for camera movements (panning, zooming, rotating around the character), while Video mode is better suited for complex body motions (dancing, walking, gesturing). Choose the mode that matches the type of motion in your reference video. Q: What does the Keep Original Sound option do? A: When enabled, the Keep Original Sound toggle preserves the audio from the reference video in the generated output. This is useful when the reference video has music or dialogue that you want to keep in the final motion control result. Q: Can I add a text prompt to motion control? A: Yes. The optional text prompt lets you describe background and scene details for the generated video. While the motion comes from the reference video, the prompt can influence the environment, lighting, and context around the character. Q: What resolutions are available? A: Motion control supports 720p and 1080p output resolution, depending on the selected model. Choose higher resolution for sharper detail in the animated character video. Q: What video duration limits apply? A: Each model has minimum and maximum duration limits for the reference video. The interface shows the allowed range (e.g., 3–30 seconds) and validates your video automatically. Duration limits may also vary based on the character orientation setting. Q: Can I select a character image from my chat history? A: Yes. Click the upload button for the character image and choose "Select from chat" to use any image from your previous AI Edit conversations and generations as the character input. Q: Can I select a reference video from my chat history? A: Yes. Click the upload button for the motion reference and choose "Select from chat" to use any video from your AI Edit chat history as the motion source. Q: Is AI motion control free? A: AI Edit uses a credit-based system. Motion control generation consumes credits based on the model and resolution you select. Purchase credits through subscription plans or top-up packs for active subscribers. Q: Do I need animation skills to use motion control? A: No. The AI handles all motion tracking, transfer, and rendering automatically. You only need to upload a character image and a reference video — no animation software, rigging, or technical skills required. Q: Do I need motion capture equipment? A: No. Motion control works with any standard video as the reference — recorded on a phone, webcam, or any camera. No motion capture suits, sensors, or specialized hardware are needed. Q: Can I use motion control for commercial projects? A: Yes. Generated motion control videos can be used for commercial purposes including marketing, social media campaigns, product videos, and creative productions, subject to AI Edit's terms of service. Q: How long does motion control generation take? A: Generation time varies by model and video duration. The interface shows a processing indicator while the AI generates the animated character video. Results are typically ready within minutes. Q: What file size limit applies to reference videos? A: Reference videos have a maximum file size of 100 MB. The video must be in MP4 or MOV format and within the model's duration limits. Q: Can I create a dance video with AI? A: Yes. Upload a character image and a dance reference video with the choreography you want. The AI transfers every dance move — footwork, arm positions, spins, and rhythm — onto your character, creating a dance video that preserves the character's appearance while replicating the exact choreography from the reference clip. Q: Can I transfer facial expressions with motion control? A: Yes. ByteDance DreamActor 2.0 is specialized in facial expression transfer, including lip movements, eyebrow raises, smiles, and head tilts. It is ideal for creating talking-head and character acting videos. Q: Does the AI preserve my character's appearance? A: Yes. The motion control AI preserves the character's face, clothing, body proportions, and art style throughout the generated video. Only the pose and position change to match the reference motion. Q: Can I use motion control on mobile? A: Yes. The motion control interface is fully responsive and works on mobile devices. Upload your character image and reference video, configure settings, and generate the animated video from your phone or tablet. Q: What is the difference between motion control and video generation? A: Video generation creates entirely new video content from text prompts or images, where the AI decides the motion. Motion control specifically transfers movement from a reference video onto a character image, giving you precise, frame-by-frame control over the exact motion the character performs. Use video generation for creative freedom, and motion control when you need a specific movement replicated exactly. Q: Can I combine motion control with other AI Edit tools? A: Yes. Generate a character image with the AI image generator, then animate it with motion control. Or use the video extender to continue a motion control video. Combine with the AI music generator to add original soundtracks. Q: What happens if my reference video is too long or too short? A: The interface validates your reference video duration against the selected model's limits and shows a warning if the video is outside the allowed range. Trim or extend your reference video before uploading if needed.
