Kling 2.6 Motion
The dependable budget option for motion-reference generation — most of the control, a smaller bill.
What is Kling 2.6 Motion?
Kling 2.6 Motion is the previous generation's motion-control model, kept in the lineup for one reason: for many jobs, "good motion transfer at low cost" beats "perfect motion transfer at premium cost". It handles the core case — pin a performance from a reference video onto a new character — with solid fidelity and noticeably cheaper renders than the 3.0 generation.
It is the sensible pick for high-volume motion work, early client drafts, and creators learning reference-driven prompting. When a shot graduates to final quality, the same reference and prompt move up to Kling 3.0 Motion unchanged.

Kling 2.6 Motion FAQ
Why choose Kling 2.6 Motion over Kling 3.0 Motion?
Cost and speed. For simple movements, drafts and high-volume batches, 2.6 Motion delivers the core motion-transfer capability at a lower price per generation.
What are its limits?
Very complex choreography and fine physical detail favor the 3.0 generation. If a transfer loses precision — fingers, fast footwork, contact moments — move that shot up to Kling 3.0 Motion.
How long does a generation take?
On DreamDance it averages around a minute and twenty seconds, one of the faster motion-control options available.
How much does it cost?
Generation costs credits that vary by model, resolution and duration. DreamDance plans start at $19.99/month with 1,999 credits — see the pricing page for details.
