Clone a video

Create a reusable character once, then clone a viral video onto it. The CLI flow below requires version 1.4.0 or later:
clone run stages the source, scores it with a clone check, composes a character-swapped starting frame, generates the clone, and prints the finished video URL.

The same flow in the SDK

What happens

  1. Character — a persisted, reusable identity you create once and reuse on every clone.
  2. Download — the source post becomes a stable, tenant-owned VidJutsu asset with a durable URL.
  3. Check — a verdict and 0-100 score for whether the source will clone well, before you use a generation attempt.
  4. Starting image — a clean character-swapped opening frame, no captions or platform UI.
  5. Clone video — Kling motion control maps the source motion onto your character and returns the finished URL.
