Kling guideVerified

Kuaishou's video model. The strongest motion in the open API ecosystem — fluid human bodies, action choreography, dramatic camera moves. v3.0 Pro is the flagship.

Strengths

Best-in-class human and animal motion fidelity — runners, dancers, fighters look anatomically right.
Action choreography: martial arts, sports, combat scenes hold together over the full clip.
Camera moves: smooth dollies, crane shots, orbits without warping the subject.
Native multi-shot mode in v3 (the API exposes it as multi_prompt).
Long context for prompts — accepts dense scene descriptions without losing the lead subject.

Weaknesses

Text rendering inside images is unreliable — avoid signs / readable writing.
Hands and fingers can still distort on fast motion.
Output durations capped at ~10s per single clip (use multi-shot to extend).
Slow vs. fast tiers vary a lot in quality; Standard is often blurry compared to Pro.

Best for

Action sequences, fight choreography, sports highlights
Anime / OVA-style narrative shots (pairs well with the Anime Styles panel)
Music video moments — performers, dancers, crowd shots
Camera-heavy cinematic establishing shots

Avoid for

Tight close-ups with text (logos, signs, captions)
Long single-shot videos beyond ~10s — use multi-shot instead

Prompting tips

Lead with the subject + action, then describe the camera move, then the lighting and mood.
Be explicit about motion verbs — "runs", "jumps", "pivots", "orbits" — Kling rewards specificity.
For consistent characters across shots, repeat the same description verbatim each shot.
Use "cinematic" / "35mm anamorphic" / "golden hour" trailing tags — Kling respects them.
Avoid abstract direction ("epic", "amazing") — replace with concrete cinematography.

Parameter tips

Duration: 5s is the sweet spot. 10s costs a lot more and often introduces drift.
Aspect ratio: 16:9 is what Kling was trained on; 9:16 works but loses some quality.
Pro vs Standard: always pick Pro for finals. Use Standard only for cheap drafts.
