Kling 4.0
KuaishouClean anime style with face and outfit unchanged, but the camera follows the walk, so the character moves only a little across the frame. Checked frame by frame.
Wan 3.0
AlibabaClean anime style with face and outfit unchanged, but the camera tracks her walk, so she stays in the centre instead of crossing the frame. Checked frame by frame.

VivixClean anime style and the character does cross the frame from left to right, with face and outfit unchanged. Cuts to a medium close-up at about 3.5 seconds.
