Kira 4.1: Motion Control

Released: Mar.19.2026

This is one of our most fun updates yet.

Kira 4.1 brings Motion Control, a completely new way to animate any person using any video as a reference.

Upload a photo of anyone and a video of any movement, and Kira makes the person in your photo perform that exact motion. TikTok dances, dramatic walks, workout routines, if you can find a video of it, you can put anyone in it.

Motion Control costs 15 credits per second of generated video.

The core of Motion Control. Upload any reference video and a photo, Kira extracts the motion and applies it to the subject in your image.

• Works with any video source: TikTok, Instagram Reels, YouTube clips, or your own recordings

• Preserves the identity and appearance of the person in your photo

• Handles complex movements like dancing, jumping, waving, and full-body gestures

No timeline, no manual pose editing, no technical setup. Motion Control is designed so anyone can use it in seconds.

• Upload a photo and a video, that’s it

• Kira automatically detects the subject and maps the motion

• Results rendering might take about 10 minutes due to model capability

Motion Control opens up a whole new category of content you can make with Kira.

• Make your friends do viral TikTok dances from a single photo

• Animate characters, pets, or illustrations with real human motion

• Create content for social media, memes, or personal projects, all from one tool

1. Upload a photo of the person (or subject) you want to animate

2. Upload a reference video with the motion you want to apply

3. Using prompt such as: "make subject in the picture dance/move like the video"

4. Kira extracts the motion from the video and maps it onto your subject

5. Preview your result, adjust if needed, and export

Animating people used to require expensive software, hours of manual work, and real technical skill. Motion Control removes all of that.

Now anyone can turn a still photo into a moving, expressive video, using nothing but a reference clip they found online. The creative floor just dropped to zero.

Whether you’re making content for fun, building a brand, or just want to see your friend hit a viral dance: Kira makes it effortless.

Motion Control is just the beginning of how Kira brings images to life. Here’s what we’re working on:

• Longer motion sequences with smoother transitions

• More control over motion intensity and style blending
