Clone Cut AI: One Performance, New Characters

Turn one performance into videos featuring different characters with Clone Cut AI. Pair a motion clip with a character image to transfer walks, gestures or dance moves, then keep the original setting or use the scene from your image. Create variations for social videos and character showcases without filming the performance again for every character.

Street walk

Video inspiration

Street walk

A full-body walk moves toward and away from a fixed camera, keeping the outfit in view.

A new version of the same idea

Clone Cut AI turns a motion video and a reference image into a newly generated performance.

The video supplies movement; the image supplies appearance. Kling 3.0 Motion Control lets you choose the character orientation and whether the background follows the video or image. Compare the full result with both inputs before keeping a take.

Change one thing with a clear reference

Give the scene a new character

Use a character reference and describe the appearance you want. Ask to retain the source action, framing and camera movement.

Follow the performance with another character

Transfer a walk, gesture or body movement from the source video. Choose whether character orientation follows the video or the reference image.

Move the action somewhere else

Choose the reference image as the background source to use its setting, or keep the original video background. Prepare a clear character image for either choice.

From source to new scene

How to make a Clone Cut AI video

Combine one motion clip with one character image, then choose how they guide the result.

  1. Upload your source

    Upload one MP4 or MOV with a clearly visible performer. Use 3–30 seconds, or no more than 10 seconds when following image orientation.

  2. Add a visual reference

    Add one JPEG or PNG showing the character clearly. Match the visible body and framing to the movement in the video.

  3. Choose orientation and background

    Select 720p or 1080p, character orientation and the background source. An optional instruction can clarify the scene; duration follows the video.

  4. Generate and compare

    Check the displayed credit estimate, submit once, then compare the output with the source. Download the take you want to keep.

Choose the right references for Clone Cut AI

Pair a clear motion clip with a character image in the Clone Cut AI video generator. Choose a pose and framing suited to the same action.

Start with a readable performance

Use a Clone Cut AI source clip with a clearly visible subject and one understandable action. A walk, wave or step gives you a specific movement to compare. Keep the head, shoulders and torso visible. Clone Cut AI follows the motion reference, so avoid cuts that change the performer halfway through the sequence.

Match the image to the movement

The Clone Cut AI reference defines the character’s appearance. Prepare a character image with Seedream 5.0 Pro, with enough body visible for the source movement. For turns or extended arms, give Clone Cut AI a clear view of those features rather than a tightly cropped face.

Decide which background to use

Choose the video background in Clone Cut AI to keep the performance in the source setting. Choose the image background to carry the reference scene into the result. For a new location, prepare a character image in that environment. Clone Cut AI uses the selected background source alongside the same motion video.

Write a Clone Cut AI brief that separates change from continuity

Useful Clone Cut AI instructions give each reference a job. Say what the new version should alter, then name the parts of the source that still matter.

Name the subject before describing the style

For a Clone Cut AI person edit, identify which visible person should change and how the reference should guide appearance. Avoid adding several competing identities. Review the Clone Cut AI result around facial turns, hand movement and overlapping objects, where an attractive single frame can hide differences across the full clip.

Choose how the character is oriented

Clone Cut AI uses the Motion Control 3.0 character-orientation controls to follow the video or image. Video orientation supports 3–30 seconds; image orientation supports 3–10 seconds. Compare settings with the same inputs to see their effect on the Clone Cut AI result.

Give the background a clear spatial relationship

For a Clone Cut AI setting change, select the image as the background source and use a reference that already shows the character in the intended location. Consider depth, light direction and room for movement. Compare Clone Cut AI shadows and perspective throughout the shot, especially where feet meet the ground.

Compare Clone Cut AI examples by their purpose

The Clone Cut AI gallery shows source, reference and result together. Use those three views to understand the transformation before loading an example into your own workspace.

Look at the complete sequence

Watch each Clone Cut AI source and result from beginning to end. Notice when the subject enters, turns, touches an object or leaves the frame. A useful Clone Cut AI take should communicate the intended change across those moments, rather than only looking convincing in the poster or opening frame.

Check the reference rather than just the outcome

The reference reveals what a Clone Cut AI example is trying to change. Compare its identity, shape or environment with the generated version. Loading a Clone Cut AI example brings its input assets, prompt and settings together; review them before replacing the reference with one that serves your own project.

Treat an example as a starting point

A Clone Cut AI example is a reproducible starting brief, not a promise that every attempt will look identical. Keep a working prompt and adjust one variable. If the next Clone Cut AI version improves the target detail but loses the action, restore the motion instruction before changing other settings.

Plan a useful Clone Cut AI iteration

A little preparation makes Clone Cut AI review more productive. Decide which visible difference would make the next version worth keeping before spending credits on another attempt.

Choose the placement before the crop

Think about where the Clone Cut AI clip will appear: a vertical post, a square composition or a wider scene. Prepare source framing that leaves room for the performance. Clone Cut AI follows the selected references; there is no separate aspect-ratio control here to rescue movement cropped out of the inputs.

Keep the first test focused

Start a Clone Cut AI test with one readable action in a short source clip. Output length follows that video, and the credit estimate uses its detected duration rounded up to whole seconds. Compare the Clone Cut AI result before choosing a longer source or increasing resolution; neither resolves an unclear reference.

Keep the version that works

Save the Clone Cut AI result you want to use, and retain its prompt and references for the next variation. Check motion, detail, framing and sound together. Use the Clone Cut AI history to revisit the task rather than submitting another generation merely because the first response is taking time.

Clone Cut AI questions

What does Clone Cut AI do with my video?

Clone Cut AI transfers motion from one video to the character in one reference image using Kling 3.0 Motion Control. You can choose character orientation and whether the background comes from the video or image.

Does Clone Cut AI copy the original exactly?

Clone Cut AI generates a new performance guided by the source. Identity details, timing and movement can vary. Compare the whole clip, including turns and hand movements, before choosing a result.

Which resolutions does Clone Cut AI support?

Clone Cut AI offers 720p and 1080p. The live credit estimate uses the chosen resolution and detected source duration rounded up to whole seconds. Output length follows the motion video.

Can Clone Cut AI work without a source video?

This Clone Cut AI workflow requires both one video and one image. Use a clear 3–30 second motion clip, or 3–10 seconds for image orientation. Text is optional guidance, not a substitute for either input.

How do I change the background in Clone Cut AI?

Select the image as the Clone Cut AI background source and provide a character image in the intended setting. Select video to use the original setting. Check the result for lighting, perspective and contact with the ground.

Where does Clone Cut AI return after sign-in or a credit purchase?

Clone Cut AI returns to the same language and workspace. Your written draft and settings stay with the account. If local files cannot survive the redirect, the workspace asks you to select them again.

Make the next version your own

Bring a motion video and a character image for the next take.
