Hand gestures for a stylized character
An official Kling 2.6 example transfers a real performer’s visible hand movements to an illustrated character.
Motion Transfer
Upload a subject image and a motion video. SceneWish generates a video in which your subject follows the movement from the reference clip.
Upload one motion video of 3–30 seconds. Follow orientation from starts on Image, which limits the video to 10 seconds; set it to Video to use up to 30 seconds.
Add a subject image and a motion video.

How to make a motion transfer video
Prepare one clean subject image and one clear motion video for motion transfer.
Three steps
1. Add the subject image and motion video
Choose a sharp image of one subject and a 3–30 second video where the movement is easy to see. Both are required.
2. Choose how the subject faces
Open More settings and check Follow orientation from, which starts on Image. Image keeps the subject facing as in your image and limits the video to 10 seconds; Video follows the person in the clip, up to 30 seconds.
3. Check the cost and generate
Cost is based on the length of your motion video and the resolution you choose, and it shows before you submit. The result keeps the length of the video.

Motion transfer: common questions
What the two inputs do, how long the clip can be and what to expect.
Motion transfer takes the movement from one video and applies it to a subject from an image. You upload both, and the model generates a new clip in which your subject performs that movement.
One subject image and one motion video of 3 to 30 seconds. A prompt is optional. Both uploads are required before Generate is available.
A sharp image of one subject, with the body parts that will move clearly visible. If the video shows a full-body dance, a full-body image avoids the model having to invent missing limbs.
One person in clear view, steady framing and movement that is easy to read. Busy scenes with several people give the model less to follow.
It decides whether the subject keeps the facing direction from your image or follows the person in your video. With Image, the motion video can be up to 10 seconds. With Video, up to 30 seconds.
It matches the length of your motion video. You cannot set a separate duration on this page.
This page lists the Kling 2.6 and Kling v3 motion control models. Other video models do not offer motion transfer on SceneWish, so the model picker only shows these.
Motion transfer follows one performer in clear view. Fast cuts, several people in the motion video or a subject image that hides the body parts that move give the model less to follow, so results can drift. Test a short clip first.
The credit cost shows beside Generate and updates with the resolution and the length of your video. You need to sign in to submit, and credits are returned if the model fails to produce the video.
Each example identifies its source. SceneWish recordings include a recorded recipe; external demonstrations are not SceneWish outputs. Their buttons prepare a suggested setup for your own media, and do not reproduce unpublished source settings or start a paid generation.
Yes. Playing and pausing motion transfer examples does not submit a generation. Use a recorded recipe or a suggested setup to prepare your draft, add your own required media, then check the quote before choosing Generate video.
