The Kling 3.0 Motion Control API renders a video where the character from a reference image performs the actions from a reference video (Kuaishou Kling v3.0). The Kling 3.0 Motion Control API outputs 3–30-second clips with character_orientation control, optional prompt, and identity preservation — all through one REST endpoint, 5% below the official rate.

Kling 3.0 Motion Control API: Motion Transfer

Use the Kling 3.0 Motion Control API to animate a reference image with the actions of a reference video.

The Kling 3.0 Motion Control API takes a reference image (the character) and a reference video (the actions) and renders a clip of the image's character performing the video's actions (Kuaishou Kling v3.0). The Kling 3.0 Motion Control API accepts an optional prompt and a character_orientation toggle — 'image' (output ≤10s) keeps the image's framing; 'video' (output ≤30s) follows the driving video's framing.

Pricing on the Kling 3.0 Motion Control API is 5% below the official rate: $0.160 per second of output, $0.798 for the default 5-second clip, $2.9925 at 10s, $4.788 at 30s. One RouterBase key works alongside 200+ other models — no provider-specific SDK.

Why this model

Six reasons teams ship on the Kling 3.0 Motion Control API

From identity-locked reference images to action-driven reference videos — what the Kling 3.0 Motion Control API gets right.

Reference image = identity

The Kling 3.0 Motion Control API anchors visual appearance, styling, and silhouette to your reference image — character identity stays consistent across the render.

Reference video = motion

Pass a 3-to-30-second driving clip and the Kling 3.0 Motion Control API transfers its actions onto the image character — no manual rigging or keyframing.

character_orientation control

Set character_orientation to 'image' (keep image framing, max 10s output) or 'video' (use driving-video framing, max 30s output). The Kling 3.0 Motion Control API caps duration per mode.

Optional prompt

Pass an optional text prompt (up to 2,500 chars) to refine style or context. The Kling 3.0 Motion Control API blends it with the reference inputs during the render.

3 to 30-second clips

Output duration scales with character_orientation: 3–10s when set to 'image', 3–30s when set to 'video'. The Kling 3.0 Motion Control API charges linearly per second.

5% off the official rate

Pay 5% less than the official rate when calling through the Kling 3.0 Motion Control API. $0.160/s — $0.798 at 5s, $2.9925 at 10s, $4.788 at 30s.

Quickstart

Get started with the Kling 3.0 Motion Control API in 3 steps

From sign-up to your first Kling 3.0 Motion Control API call in under 5 minutes.

  1. Create a RouterBase API key

    Sign up and generate sk-rb-… — one key works across the Kling 3.0 Motion Control API and 200+ other models on RouterBase.

  2. POST image + driving clip

    Send the reference image (JPG/PNG ≤10MB, ≥300px, aspect 2:5–5:2), the reference video (MP4/MOV ≤100MB, 3–30s), and character_orientation in JSON to the Kling 3.0 Motion Control API endpoint. The call is async — RouterBase polls upstream until the render completes.

  3. Inspect the result

    Each Kling 3.0 Motion Control API response includes generation metadata for auditing and a signed render URL ready to embed in your product.

character_orientation on the Kling 3.0 Motion Control API gives us 30-second outputs when we want video-led framing and tight 10-second loops when we want the image's framing — same endpoint, two creative modes.
