# Motion Control API

> Make the character in an image perform the motion from a reference video with DreamActor M2.0 or Kling 3.0 Motion Control, through the BudgetPixel API.

**Image + reference video → video.** Make the character in an image perform the motion
from a reference video, while it keeps its own look. Each model has its own endpoint,
`POST /v1/motion-control/{model}`.

## Models

2 models. Each name opens its API reference with every parameter.

| Model | Maker | What it does |
| - | - | - |
| [DreamActor M2.0](/api-reference/motion-control/motion-control-with-dreamactor-m20)<br />`dreamactor-m2.0` | ByteDance | Drives the character in an image to replicate the motion, facial expressions, and lip movements from a reference video, preserving the subject and background of the image. |
| [Kling 3.0 Motion Control Standard](/api-reference/motion-control/motion-control-with-kling-30-motion-control-standard)<br />`kling-3-motion-control-std` | Kling | Transfers the motion from a reference video onto a character image. |

## How a request works

1. Send `POST /v1/motion-control/{model}` with the character `image` and the reference
   `video`. The response returns a job `id` right away.
2. Poll [`GET /v1/motion-control/{id}`](/api-reference/motion-control/get-motion-control-job-status)
   until `status` is `succeeded`. The response then holds the video URL.

[Media inputs](/concepts/media-inputs) covers passing the image and video.

## Pricing

[`GET /v1/models`](/api-reference/models/list-available-models) returns current prices,
and [`POST /v1/cost`](/api-reference/models/estimate-the-cost-of-a-request) quotes a
request before you send it. You pay only for jobs that succeed; see
[Pricing & credits](/concepts/pricing-and-credits).
