What is Motion Control?

Motion Control uses a reference video and character image to generate a motion-controlled video draft. Upload the two inputs, then review the generated result in Satura's editor before using it in a finished video.

Is Satura AI Motion Control a motion transfer tool?

Yes. Satura AI Motion Control is a motion transfer tool for creators who want to map movement from a reference video onto a character image, then keep editing the result in the same browser workspace.

Can I transfer motion to any character?

Use an image you are authorized to use. Current provider guidance calls for a clear, unobstructed character image with visible body proportions; results vary with the reference movement and the inputs, so review the generated draft before publishing.

What do I need to use it?

Two inputs: a motion reference video and a character image. Current provider guidance calls for a visible head and body in the reference video and a clear, unobstructed character image. With Video orientation, the reference-video limit is 30 seconds; with Image orientation, it is 10 seconds.

What model powers Motion Control?

Motion Control uses the Kling 2.6 Motion Control Pro option in Satura's AI video workspace. The workflow requires a motion reference video and a character image, with optional original-sound and character-orientation controls.

Can I use this with AI-generated characters?

Yes. You can create a character image with Satura's AI Image Generator, then use it as the character input for Motion Control. Review the generated draft before adding it to a finished project.

Does it preserve the original audio?

You can select Keep Original Sound to request the sound from the motion reference video. Review the generated draft and its audio before using it in a finished project.

What does character orientation control?

Character orientation lets you choose whether the reference video or character image guides orientation. Current provider guidance describes Video as better for complex motion with a 30-second source limit, and Image as better for camera movement with a 10-second source limit. Review the generated draft before publishing.

Is this different from camera motion control?

Yes. Some AI video tools use motion control to mean camera moves like pan, zoom, or orbit. This page is about character motion transfer: using a motion reference video to make a character image perform the same movement.

How long does generation take?

Motion Control runs as an asynchronous generation job, so processing time can vary. Check the workspace status and do not plan a publishing deadline around a fixed completion time.

How many credits does it cost?

Motion Control is a Pro workspace option. Before generating, Satura shows the estimated credit use for the selected inputs. An active paid Satura plan is required to start an AI video generation request.

Is Motion Control free to use?

No. Motion Control requires an active paid Satura plan. The workspace shows the credit estimate before you submit the generation request.

How to transfer motion to a character image

Use a reference movement and a character image. Satura uses both inputs to generate a motion-controlled draft, then opens the result in the editor.

Upload a motion reference

Use a reference video that clearly shows the source movement. Current provider limits are up to 30 seconds with Video orientation or 10 seconds with Image orientation.

Add your character

Upload an image you are authorized to use. The current provider guidance calls for a clear, unobstructed character with visible body proportions.

AI transfers the motion

Kling 2.6 Pro uses the reference video and character image to generate a motion-controlled clip for review.

Edit and export

The result lands on your editor timeline. Add subtitles, music, voiceovers, and export — all in one session.
