Motion control AI for any character

Upload a character and a driving video. Kling Motion Control, Runway Act 2, or Wan 2.2 Animate copies every move, gesture, and expression onto your character.

How to transfer motion with AI

Three steps, in your browser.

  1. 01

    Upload a character

    Add a photo or video of the person, pet, mascot, or illustrated character you want to animate. A sharp, full-body shot works best.

  2. 02

    Add a driving video

    Upload or record the performance to copy: a dance, a walk, a gesture, or a line of dialogue. Krea uses up to 30 seconds of it.

  3. 03

    Pick a model and generate

    Choose Kling Motion Control, Runway Act 2, or Wan 2.2 Animate, then generate. Your character performs the motion in a few minutes.

Motion control AI

Copy any movement onto any character

Motion control AI, also called AI motion transfer, takes the movement from one video and applies it to a different character. Instead of describing a dance or a gesture in a prompt, you show it: the model tracks the body, hands, and face in the driving video and renders your character doing the same thing, frame by frame.

Krea puts the leading motion transfer models in one tool: Kling Motion Control v3 and v2.6, Runway Act 2, and Wan 2.2 Animate Move and Replace. Use them to animate a still portrait, put your own performance onto a 3D or anime character, or replace the person in an existing clip while the scene stays the same.

What you can do with motion transfer

One driving video, any character. Pick the model by what you want to keep: your character’s own frame, or the scene of the driving video.

Open Motion Transfer
  • Animate a still image

    Turn one photo or illustration into a character that dances, walks, or talks, with the exact timing of your driving video.

  • Replace a person in a video

    Wan 2.2 Animate Replace swaps the whole character in your video for the one in your image and keeps the camera move, lighting, and background of the original scene.

  • Act it out yourself

    Record your own performance with your webcam right in the tool, and the model carries your expressions and body language onto the character.

Motion transfer for creators and studios

Film the movement once, then give it to any character.

  • Dance trends

    Put a trending TikTok or Reels dance on your mascot, your pet, or an AI character without filming it again.

  • Virtual characters

    Drive a 3D, anime, or illustrated character with your own movement for Shorts, VTuber clips, and stories.

  • Ads and UGC

    Reuse one recorded performance across several spokespeople or product characters to test creative variations.

  • Previs and storyboards

    Act a scene out yourself, then transfer the motion onto concept characters before a real shoot.

  • Game and animation tests

    See how a character design moves with real motion reference before you rig or keyframe it.

  • Memes and edits

    Make a classic portrait, a painting, or a toy figure copy a famous move.
