How it works

- Design the motionWhere the subject starts, how the action builds and completes, one camera move and its speed, the physical effects.
- Time the shotsUp to six shots whose seconds add up to your length, cutting only when place, time or scale changes.
- Send itPrompt, shot list, checks and settings, ready to open with Kling 4.0.
One idea, before and after
skateboarder does a kickflip down a big set of stairs, slow mo, lands it and his friends cheer
[Character A: athletic skateboarder, backwards black cap, oversized grey t-shirt, loose blue denim jeans, black skate shoes, graphic skateboard]. [Group B: three friends in casual streetwear hoodies and caps]. Shot 1 (0-3s): Low-angle tracking shot, [Character A] crouches and accelerates across concrete towards the top edge of a wide concrete staircase, snapping the tail down forcefully to pop into the air as the camera tracks swiftly backward ahead of him into the open stairwell space under afternoon sunlight. Shot 2 (3-6s): Low-angle side profile shot in slow motion, [Character A] hangs airborne over the steps, front foot flicking outwards as the skateboard spins cleanly 360 degrees beneath his shoes, catching the grip tape mid-air before stomping down smoothly onto the flat pavement below, absorbing the impact with bent knees and rolling straight forward to the right. Shot 3 (6-8s): Medium handheld shot, [Character A] rolls to a halt raising his arms in triumph toward [Group B], who jump up shouting excitedly, rushing forward into frame to slap hands and embrace him in celebration amidst golden hour backlighting. No on-screen text, no subtitles, no captions, no watermark. Coherent anatomy, natural hands.
Questions
How long can Kling 4.0 clips be?+
3 to 30 seconds. The assistant budgets about one action and one camera move per five seconds so nothing gets dropped.
How does it keep characters consistent?+
Each character is introduced once with a label and a visual tag, and only the label is used afterwards, so a pronoun never points at the wrong person.
Can it use my reference pictures?+
Yes: up to ten pictures, five videos and three audio clips, each bound to a label the first time it appears.
Does it handle keyframes?+
With an opening frame, in-between keyframes and a closing frame, it writes only the motion from one state to the next and lets it settle at the end.
Where do exclusions go?+
Out of the main prompt. A sentence like "no hats" can draw hats, so the assistant describes what you do want instead.
What does a run cost?+
A few credits, shown on the button before you run. You never pay more than that price, and nothing is charged if no usable result comes back.
