# Kling AI Motion Control

> Replicate human movements and expressions onto static images using reference videos.

Kling AI Motion Control is a character animation tool that transfers movement and micro-expressions from a video clip onto a static image. It uses facial binding to lock identity and prevent distortion across turns, occlusions, and angle changes. It works on human portraits as well as anime and 3D character illustrations.
