What is Kling 4.0?

Kling 4.0 is an AI video model from Kuaishou for creating video from text, images, and reference materials. Omni Reference brings visual and voice references into the same workflow, with multilingual audio-visual synchronization.

It follows earlier Kling models, including Kling 3.0 and Kling 3.0 Turbo.

Generate 3–30 seconds in one pass with 720p, 1080p or 4K output. Use up to 10 keyframes to guide the scene, and combine up to 15 Omni Reference assets across images, videos, voices and subject elements.

Kling 4.0 Features

Longer videos, flexible references, and multilingual sound and picture in one workflow.

Generate Up to 30 Seconds

Generate Up to 30 Seconds

Kling 4.0 generates videos up to 30 seconds long in a single generation. Give the opening, main action, and ending room to unfold, then extend the video when your story needs more time.

Up to 4K Video

Up to 4K Video

Choose 720p, 1080p or 4K video output. Compose for your final delivery with 21:9, 16:9, 1:1, 9:16 or Auto aspect ratios, from social clips to widescreen product presentations.

Up to 15 Reference Assets

Up to 15 Reference Assets

Control Up to 10 Keyframes

Control Up to 10 Keyframes

Use up to 10 keyframe images to define important moments in a 3–30-second video. Guide character states, scene changes and the opening and closing composition.

Targeted Video Editing

Targeted Video Editing

Refine expressions, movement, backgrounds and style using up to 5 input video clips, including one primary video. Each clip is 3–30 seconds, with a combined limit of 30 seconds.

Kling 4.0 Creative Controls

Shape the subject, voice, and continuation of your scene with a clear creative brief.

Define the Subject

Choose references that show the appearance you want. Describe what the subject does, rather than repeating every detail already visible in the reference.

Describe the Camera Move

Give the shot one clear camera direction, such as a slow push-in or a side tracking move. Treat this as prompt direction and review how the output follows it.

Set the Light and Location

Name a concrete setting and a light source. Keep these directions consistent when you plan another shot or extend the same scene.

Guide the Voice

Use voice references with multilingual audio-visual synchronization. Write concise dialogue and review which voice delivers each line in the result.

Control Up to 10 Keyframes

Use up to 10 keyframe images to define the opening, main action and ending. Keep character details and lighting consistent between the frames.

Edit an Existing Video

Use a primary video and supporting references to change expressions, movement, backgrounds or style. Keep the combined input-video duration within 30 seconds.

Kling 4.0 Prompt Examples

Six prompt examples for subjects, camera movement, and lighting. Copy one and adapt it to your scene.

Visual reference for a Kling 4.0 project — Tailor at the Workbench

Tailor at the Workbench

An elderly tailor sewing a wool jacket at a wooden workbench, close-up on the fabric and tools, slow camera push-in, soft window light from the left.

Keep the action simple and the framing close to focus attention on the craft.

Visual reference for a Kling 4.0 project — Watchmaker and Mechanical Details

Watchmaker and Mechanical Details

A watchmaker examining an open mechanical watch on a workbench, macro view of the gears and fine tools, slow sideways camera move, soft task-lamp light.

Name the detail you want in focus and use one camera move to keep the shot readable.

Visual reference for a Kling 4.0 project — Snow Leopard on a Rocky Slope

Snow Leopard on a Rocky Slope

A snow leopard walking carefully along a rocky mountain slope, wide view with distant peaks, slow tracking shot from the side, pale dawn light.

Combine a clear direction of movement with a wide frame to show the scale of the landscape.

Visual reference for a Kling 4.0 project — Autumn Forest in Golden Light

Autumn Forest in Golden Light

An autumn forest with golden leaves moving gently in the breeze, slow forward camera move between the trees, warm backlight filtering through the canopy.

Describe the movement of the leaves separately from the camera movement.

Visual reference for a Kling 4.0 project — Sunlit Architectural Staircase

Sunlit Architectural Staircase

A curved wooden staircase inside a quiet building, low-angle view looking upward, slow camera tilt following the handrail, patterned afternoon sunlight on the walls.

Give the camera a visible line to follow, such as the handrail or the edge of the stairs.

Visual reference for a Kling 4.0 project — Florist Wrapping a Bouquet

Florist Wrapping a Bouquet

A florist folding brown paper around a bouquet of pink and cream flowers, medium close-up at a shop counter, fixed camera, soft natural light from a nearby window.

A fixed camera leaves attention on the wrapping action and makes changes easier to review.

Who is Kling 4.0 Built For?

Four groups and the video workflows Kling 4.0 supports for each.

Short-form creators

Build short stories, character clips, and social edits around one clear action. Draft the main shot first, then decide whether the story needs a continuation or a cut.

Ad and marketing teams

Turn product references and a campaign brief into a shot plan. Compare framing and movement options, then add exact logos, prices, and campaign text in your editor.

Studios and animation teams

Explore scene blocking, reference combinations, and longer continuations before a final production pass. Review character appearance and continuity at each extension boundary.

Developers

Define test cases for inputs, output quality, and processing time before building an integration. Confirm API access and supported modes with your provider; web access alone does not establish API availability.

Who should skip it. If you only need a short clip, compare the current tools on your own brief. Longer duration and reference controls are useful only when your project needs them; check the actual credit cost before choosing.

When to use Kling 4.0.

Consider Kling 4.0 when your brief needs a longer continuous scene, multiple references, or multilingual dialogue. Choose the generation or extension workflow that fits the shot rather than starting with the longest duration.

How to compare the models.

Use the same brief and reference materials to compare framing, subject detail, voice timing, and continuity. Check the actual generation cost in your service. Element and file counts use different rules, so a larger number alone does not establish better reference control.

What to Check in Kling 4.0 Videos

Four things to plan around before you build a project on it.

Review these details before delivering a video, especially when combining reference assets, keyframes or edited footage.

Hands doing detailed work.

Review fingers, tool contact, and small objects frame by frame. Keep an alternate take or practical insert available for essential close-ups.

Text you need to be exact.

Check brand names, prices, and captions. Composite exact text in your editor where accuracy matters.

Voice and scene continuity.

Review speaker identity, sound timing, and visual continuity across the whole sequence, especially at extension boundaries and in longer sequences.

Exact brand or product replication.

Compare the output with your references. Check product shape, colour, logos, and fine details across the sequence before delivery.

What this means in practice. Check the generated sequence against your brief and references. Use your editor for exact text, branding, and any corrections the generation controls do not cover.

How To Use the Kling 4.0 AI Video Generator

Explore these three steps in our demo workflow. Supported modes will be shown in the generator.

Choose Kling 4.0 and add references.

Choose Kling 4.0 and add references.

Select the model and add clear references for your subject, visual direction, or voice. Use only materials that help define the scene, and follow the input formats shown in the interface.

Describe your scene and choose the settings.

Describe your scene and choose the settings.

Describe the subject, camera, and light — a chef plating pasta, slow dolly in, warm window light from the left. Choose the duration and output settings for your project. Start with a short draft to check the composition.

Generate, review, and extend.

Generate, review, and extend.

Review the action, voice timing, and reference details in your draft. If the scene needs more time, describe the next action and extend it. Check the join before adding captions or exporting your final edit.

Keep your prompts. Phrasing that works carries between Kling versions. A saved prompt library is worth more than any single clip.
