See It in Action

The formula behind these videos is simple: Your motion + Any character = Viral content.

Motion Control: Make Any Character Dance

The core idea: Upload a reference video of someone moving — yourself, a dancer, anyone — and Kling 2.6 extracts the skeletal motion and transfers it onto whatever character image you provide.

What you can do with this:

  • Create dance videos without showing your face — Record yourself dancing, then let an anime character, 3D avatar, or even your dog "perform" those exact moves.

  • Bring your IP characters to life — Brand mascots, virtual influencers, game characters — they can now move exactly the way you want.

  • Cross-species motion transfer — Human dance moves can animate pets, cartoon characters, or even inanimate objects. The AI adapts the skeleton automatically.

Technical specs:

  • Video length: 3-30 seconds

  • Resolution: Up to 1080p (Pro mode)

  • Reference video requirements: Clear subject, clean background, moderate motion speed

Native Audio: Videos That Come With Sound

Previous AI video models generated silent clips — you'd create the visuals, then manually add audio in post-production. Kling 2.6 generates video and audio together. The model understands that a crashing wave doesn't just look like a crash — it sounds like one too.

What it can generate:

  • Character dialogue — Automatic lip-sync so mouth movements match the speech.

  • Voiceover and narration — Explanatory audio that matches your video's pacing.

  • Environmental sounds — Wind, traffic, crowds, background music — added automatically based on the scene.

  • Voice cloning (coming soon) — Train the model on your voice, then apply it to any character.

Technical specs:

  • Audio sample rate: 48kHz

  • Supported types: dialogue, narration, singing, ambient sounds, complex soundscapes

Try It on Alici

Kling 2.6 is now available in Alici's AI Video Studio. No regional restrictions — available globally.

Step 1: Upload your character image

Choose who you want to animate — a person, an anime character, your pet, even a toy. The image should be clear with the subject easy to identify.

Step 2: Upload your reference motion video

Upload a 3-30 second video as motion reference. This can be you dancing, a clip from the internet, or any movement you want to transfer. Keep the subject visible and centered.

Step 3: Generate and download

Hit generate and wait a few minutes. Kling 2.6 transfers the motion onto your character and outputs a complete video. Happy with it? Download. Want changes? Adjust parameters and regenerate.

Pricing: Video generation uses credits. Motion Control Pro mode costs more than standard text-to-video — check current rates in the studio.

Creative Ideas to Try

Motion Control + Native Audio together unlock content that used to require a production team:

AI Baby Dance (the hottest trend right now)
Upload a baby photo, pair it with a viral dance video, and generate a dancing AI baby. These videos regularly hit millions of views on TikTok.

Pet Dance Videos
Make your cat or dog dance to human choreography. The AI automatically adapts human skeleton movements to animal bodies — and the results are surprisingly natural.

Virtual Influencers / IP Characters
Brand mascots, game characters, anime avatars — now they can "perform" any motion you want, and with Native Audio, they can talk too.

Anonymous Dance Creator
Love dancing but don't want to show your face? Record your moves, let an AI character take the spotlight. Your choreography, their face.

Instant Video Localization
Same visuals, different voiceover. Use Native Audio to quickly create multi-language versions of the same video.

FAQ

What's the biggest difference between Kling 2.6 and 2.5?

Kling 2.6 adds two features 2.5 didn't have: Motion Control (animate characters using reference videos) and Native Audio (generate synchronized sound with video). Version 2.5 produced silent video with no direct motion control.

What's the maximum video length Kling 2.6 supports?

Motion Control mode supports up to 30 seconds. Standard text-to-video and image mode max out at 10 seconds. For longer content, generate in segments and stitch together.

Can I use my own voice with Kling 2.6?

Voice cloning is rolling out gradually. Currently, you can generate AI voices via text prompts or upload audio files for reference. Full custom voice training is expected in future updates.

What kind of reference video works best for Motion Control?

Use reference videos with clear subject visibility, clean backgrounds, good lighting at 30fps or higher, and moderate motion speed. Keep the subject relatively centered. Avoid blurry or shaky footage.

Does Native Audio work with Motion Control?

Yes. You can combine both — transfer motion from a reference video AND generate synchronized audio in the same output. That's how you create a dancing character with matching background music, or a talking animated figure.
