Kling 2.6 motion-control AI Motion Control

Kling 2.6 motion-control is strongest when you already have one still character image and one driving clip, and the real goal is a cheaper motion-transfer pass rather than a more configurable scene build. It fits dance, gesture, previs, and character tests where identity transfer and motion direction matter, but you do not need the extra background-source decision that Kling 3.0 motion-control adds.

On Rivya, this option is built around exactly one reference image and one motion video, plus an optional prompt. The real controls are 720p versus 1080p output and character orientation, which means it is narrower and simpler than Kling 3.0 motion-control because there is no separate background-source control.

The biggest decision is usually orientation, not prompt density. Follow the motion video when the driving clip should dominate the body's angle and pose; follow the reference image when the still is the identity anchor and the motion clip only needs to lend movement. That choice usually tells you quickly whether 2.6 is enough or whether the job really needs the added scene logic in 3.0.

Rivya currently lists 16 credits at 720p and 22 at 1080p. That makes 2.6 a sensible lower-cost proving ground when you want to test identity transfer and movement before paying for the extra control setup in Kling 3.0 motion-control.

Choose base Kling 3.0 if the shot is still mainly prompt-led. Choose Kling 3.0 motion-control when background ownership itself is part of the creative decision. Choose Kling 2.6 motion-control when you already have one image and one driving clip, and a cheaper, simpler transfer run is enough.

Start here when the first result is mainly about proving that one still image and one driving clip can transfer motion cleanly at the cheaper Kling tier. Use it for short dance, gesture, and previs tests when you want to validate motion and identity before deciding whether the shot deserves the heavier 3.0 option.

This page is built around exactly one reference image, one motion video, an optional prompt, and a simple orientation choice. You can run it at 720p or 1080p, but you do not get the background-source control that exists on Kling 3.0 motion-control.

Before you run, decide whether character orientation should follow the motion video or the reference image, and start at 720p unless the shot already looks worth the extra spend. On this model, those two choices usually matter more than adding a lot of prompt text.

The page is public, but the actual first motion-control run is still gated behind sign in. Rivya currently lists 16 credits at 720p and 22 at 1080p, so you can line up the image, the driving clip, and the orientation choice first, then sign in when you are ready to run.

Stay on this page while you are checking one image-plus-video pair and checking whether 2.6 is enough for the shot. Open the full Studio once the work needs saved versions, multiple source pairs, or a longer sequence project around the same character.
