What it does

Longer takes, more control.

One continuous shot from 3 to 30 seconds, with sound, at 720p or 1080p. Three ways in on the same key: describe it, pin it to key frames, or hand it the faces, products and places to keep.

3–30 s

One take. You choose the length, and the length is what you pay for.

1080p

The default, with 720p for drafts. Sound is generated with the picture.

10 images

First, middle and last frames, or reference images, in a single job.

21:9

Ultrawide, beside 16:9, 9:16 and 1:1, from the same model.

Text to video

Write the whole scene.

Camera, action, dialogue and sound in one prompt. Choose 21:9, 16:9, 9:16 or 1:1.

kling/kling-4.0-t2v

Key frames

Set the beats, let it move.

A first, a middle and a last frame, up to ten images, and the model travels between them. The frames set the shape.

kling/kling-4.0-i2v

Omni

Everything in one model.

Text, key frames and reference images together: up to ten images of the characters, products and places to keep consistent.

kling/kling-4.0-omni

Demos

Examples. Turn the sound on.

Kling 4.0 footage with its own sound. Under each clip, what to watch for.

Cinematic scenes

Large-scale motion and long camera moves that hold together from the wide shot to the close-up.

Action 15s

The ridge

A swordswoman on a misty mountain path. The camera closes from a wide shot to her hand without losing her face or her costume.

Scale 16s

The storm

A grand piano on the bow of a ship in heavy sea, from the air down to the player. Water, spray and wind stay physical through the move.

Fantasy 15s

The spell

Effects-heavy fantasy: light, smoke and fabric move together while the character stays the same person.

Key frames 20s

The night light

Several key frames along one timeline: a creature drawn in light travels through the room from one pinned moment to the next.

Ultrawide 21:9 30s

The jump

Thirty seconds at 21:9: a jump from an open cargo door and a wingsuit flight through a desert canyon, in the cinema shape a trailer needs.

Prompt understanding

A long brief followed closely, or five words turned into a whole performance.

Long prompt · dialogue 7s

The reunion

A detailed brief: two friends meet on a British street at dusk, handheld camera, film look, a line of English dialogue. The street, the timing and the hug land where the prompt puts them.

Short prompt · speech 15s

The rant

“An old man ranting about AI.”

Five words. The room, the gestures, the voice and the lip-sync come from the model.

Where it fits

When one shot has to carry the scene.

Thirty seconds is long enough for a story beat, a product moment or a full social spot without cutting.

Ads

Products that stay themselves.

Reference images keep shape, materials and brand details steady across angles and light.

Story

Trailers and story beats.

Up to 30 seconds in one take, with sound and dialogue, at 21:9 if it is going on a big screen.

Previs

Storyboards that move.

Pin the first, middle and last frames and let the model fill the motion between them.

Social

Every format from one model.

9:16, 1:1, 16:9 and 21:9 from the same prompt and the same key.

Price

Billed per second you ask for.

You set the length when you submit, so the price is known before the job starts. Aspect ratio and the way in (text, key frames or references) do not change it.
