Kling 3.0 Motion Control: Video Character Replacement Online
Bottom line
Kling 3.0 Motion Control transfers a driving video's motion onto your character image, 720p or 1080p. Bring a source video and a character image to the Animate Replace tool — VdoBloom prices the swap in credits up front and refunds automatically if a run fails.
Kling 3.0 Motion Control approaches character animation from the opposite direction of a normal image-to-video model. Instead of asking the AI to invent motion from a prompt, you hand it two things: a reference image of the character you want on screen, and a driving video whose human performance — gestures, timing, expressions, body movement — the model transfers onto that character. The result keeps the choreography of the source clip with the identity of your image.
On VdoBloom it runs inside the Animate Replace tool with two output tiers, 720p and 1080p, and accepts driving videos from 3 up to 30 seconds in MP4 or MOV format. Reference images need to be at least 300px on the short side with an aspect ratio between 2:5 and 5:2, which covers everything from portrait character sheets to wide banners.
VdoBloom only offers the Kling 3.0 version of Motion Control — there's no separate Kling 2.6 Motion Control variant. Pricing is per second of the driving video's length (8 credits/s at 720p, 10.8 credits/s at 1080p), billed against a flat 10-second estimate, so the exact cost is shown before you generate regardless of how long your driving video actually runs.
What it costs on VdoBloom
Kling 3.0 Motion Control is priced per second of the driving video's length: 8 credits/s at 720p, 10.8 credits/s at 1080p. VdoBloom bills against a flat 10-second estimate for whichever resolution tier you pick — 80 credits at 720p, 108 credits at 1080p — with the exact number shown before you generate and refunded automatically if the generation fails.
How is this different from Wan 2.2 Animate Replace?
Both take a video plus an image, but they emphasize different things. Wan 2.2 Animate Replace swaps a character into the source footage at 480p–720p, while Kling 3.0 Motion Control re-performs the source motion with your character and reaches 1080p. Choose Kling for maximum-fidelity motion transfer on a hero clip; choose Wan for quicker, lower-cost swaps.
Common problems and how to avoid them
The two recurring complaints about Kling motion-transfer models are the character's face drifting away from the reference image partway through a clip, and the output feeling restrictive because of the strict content filter. Face drift is generally caused by a mismatch in framing or aspect ratio between the reference image and the driving video — matching them closely, and staying within the required 2:5–5:2 reference aspect ratio, is the practical fix.
For the content filter, VdoBloom can't loosen what the Kling API itself rejects — the STRICT rating reflects provider-side moderation, not a VdoBloom setting. What VdoBloom does control is cost transparency: the credit price is always shown before you generate, and any generation that fails outright is refunded automatically.

Frequently asked questions
What inputs does Kling 3.0 Motion Control need?
Two files: a reference image of the character (JPG or PNG, at least 300px, aspect ratio between 2:5 and 5:2, up to 10MB) and a driving video whose motion will be transferred (MP4 or MOV, 3–30 seconds, up to 100MB). An optional short text prompt can guide the style.
What resolutions does Kling 3.0 Motion Control output?
Two tiers: 720p standard and 1080p professional. You pick the tier in the Animate Replace tool before generating, and the credit cost for your choice is shown up front.
How much does Kling 3.0 Motion Control cost?
It's priced per second of the driving video at 8 credits/s (720p) or 10.8 credits/s (1080p), billed against a flat 10-second estimate — 80 credits at 720p or 108 credits at 1080p for that estimate. The exact number is shown before you generate.
Is Kling 3.0 Motion Control free?
New accounts get 10 free credits, which is well short of a full Motion Control generation (80+ credits) — a credit top-up is needed.
I need Kling motion control 3 or 2.6 — which does VdoBloom have?
Only Kling 3.0 Motion Control — there's no separate Kling 2.6 Motion Control variant on VdoBloom.
How strict is Kling 3.0 Motion Control's content filter?
Kling models apply strict provider-side content filtering, so uploads and prompts that trip the policy are rejected before generation runs. When a generation fails for any reason, VdoBloom refunds the credits automatically.
Why does my character's face change with Kling Motion Control?
Face drift is a common issue when the reference image and driving video don't frame the subject similarly — for example a tight headshot reference paired with a full-body driving video. Using a clear, front-facing reference image within the required aspect ratio (2:5 to 5:2) and a driving video with similar framing to your intended output reduces this; it isn't something VdoBloom's integration can fix after the fact, since the transfer quality is the underlying model's behavior.
How long can the driving video be for Kling Motion Control?
3 to 30 seconds, in MP4 or MOV format, up to 100MB. VdoBloom bills a flat 10-second estimate for the resolution you pick regardless of the exact driving-video length.
How is this different from Wan 2.2 Animate Replace?
Both take a video plus an image, but they emphasize different things. Wan 2.2 Animate Replace swaps a character into the source footage at 480p–720p, while Kling 3.0 Motion Control re-performs the source motion with your character and reaches 1080p. Choose Kling for maximum-fidelity motion transfer on a hero clip; choose Wan for quicker, lower-cost swaps.
Is Kling AI open source?
No, Kling is Kuaishou's proprietary model, available only through its API — the same is true for Motion Control on VdoBloom.
