Workflows
Choose the workflow that matches your starting material and the control you need.
Start with a prompt
Start with a written prompt describing the subject, action, environment, camera, lighting, timing, dialogue, and scene changes.
Example prompt
A woman in a silver coat walks through a rain-soaked futuristic city at night. Neon signs reflect across the pavement as the camera tracks beside her. Cinematic lighting, natural movement, 16:9.
Start with an image
Start from an image. Describe subject, camera, and environmental motion, timing, and what should remain visually consistent.
Example prompt
The woman turns toward the window while curtains move in a light breeze. The camera moves closer. Keep her face, clothing, hairstyle, and room design consistent with the source image.
Use a starting and ending image to define the visual transition. This works for transformations, object movement, camera transitions, and before-and-after scenes.
Use up to 10 keyframes to define several important moments, camera positions, actions, transformations, and story beats.
Use up to 10 images, 5 videos, 30 seconds of combined reference video, and audio reference to provide additional context.
Generation comparison
Kling 3.0 already supports core video creation, native audio, smart storyboarding, and subject references. The clearest documented difference here is generation duration: up to 15 seconds for Video 3.0 versus up to 30 seconds for Kling 4.0.
