It follows camera directions
Ask for a tracking shot, an orbit, a crane up or a dolly zoom and Kling tends to do exactly that. Reviewers single out its camera control as the reason to pick it.
Kling AI · by Kuaishou
Kling AI video generator
Kling is Kuaishou's video model, best known for following camera directions closely, holding steady through fast action, and cutting between shots with sound in one clip. Write a scene below and it opens in Video Studio on Kling 3.0 Pro.
Example video
Opens in Video Studio with the model you picked. You see the price in credits before anything runs.
What Kling is known for
Several shots in one clip
Kling 3.0 can cut between shots inside a single generation, such as a wide, a reverse angle and a close-up, keeping the same people and place across the cuts.
Sound comes with the picture
Dialogue, footsteps, rain and room tone are generated with the video. Spoken lines work best in English or Chinese; other languages are translated to English.
Native 4K when you need it
The 4K tier renders a true 3840 × 2160 frame with no upscaling pass, for the final take rather than for exploring.
Where it's weaker
- Realistic skin can look smooth or plastic in tight close-ups.
- Fast whip pans and crash zooms can warp for a moment; one clear move per shot works best.
- Small or dense text in the frame can blur, especially in 9:16.
- Crowds of more than five or six faces start to merge.
- Color grading can shift slightly between cuts in a multi-shot clip.

Made with Kling on Affogato
Every clip below was generated with the prompt shown, unedited. Load any prompt into the generator and make your own version.
Action and physics
Kickflip at golden hour
Prompt
Low-angle handheld shot at street level: an adult skateboarder in a grey hoodie rolls toward a concrete ledge in an empty plaza at golden hour. He pops a kickflip, the board spins once beneath his feet, he catches it and lands with knees bent, wheels clacking hard on the concrete. The camera tilts up to follow the jump, then settles as he rolls away. Long shadows, dust kicked up on landing. Sound: wheel roll, the snap of the tail, the landing clack.
Same character across cuts
Yellow raincoat, three angles
Prompt
A woman in a bright yellow raincoat cycles through a wet European side street at dusk. Begin with a wide shot from across the canal as she crosses a small stone bridge, then cut to a tracking side profile as she pedals past glowing cafe windows, then a close-up as she brakes and smiles at something off-screen. The same woman, same raincoat, in every shot. Puddles splash under the tyres. Sound: rain patter, bike chain, soft cafe music spilling out.
Tracking shots
Through a night market
Prompt
A steady tracking shot follows a woman in a rust-colored coat as she weaves through a crowded night market. Steam rises from noodle stalls and paper lanterns sway overhead. The camera stays at shoulder height a few steps behind her, gliding past vendors flipping skewers over open flames. She pauses to glance at a fruit stand, then keeps walking as the camera keeps pace. Warm tungsten light, shallow depth of field, rain-damp pavement reflecting neon. Ambient sound: sizzling grills, distant chatter, a bicycle bell.
Multi-shot with dialogue
Two people, three shots, one take
Prompt
A small bakery at dawn, three shots. Shot one, medium shot: the baker, a woman in a flour-dusted apron, wipes her hands and says warmly, "first batch is out." Shot two, reverse shot over her shoulder: the courier at the counter, tired but smiling, immediately replies, "then i'm first in line." Shot three, close-up: she slides a steaming loaf across the counter and the crust crackles as he picks it up. Warm window light, ambient oven hum and quiet street noise.
Camera moves
Hiker on a misty cliff
Prompt
A dolly zoom on a lone hiker standing at the edge of a misty cliff trail. The camera physically pulls back while the lens zooms in, so the hiker stays the same size while the valley behind her stretches and looms. She stays still, wind tugging at her jacket and loose hair. Overcast blue light, fog rolling through pine trees below. Slow, deliberate pacing. Sound: low wind, a distant bird call.
Weather and scale
Storm over a harbor
Prompt
A crane shot rises over a fishing harbor during a storm. Waves crash against the stone breakwater and spray bursts into the air while a small red boat rocks at its mooring. A fisherman in a yellow slicker hauls a rope tight as gusts whip his hood. The camera climbs and tilts down to reveal the whole harbor. Dark slate sky, flashes of lightning on the horizon. Sound: roaring wind, waves, creaking ropes, distant thunder.
Product shots
Ceramic pitcher, slow orbit
Prompt
A slow 180-degree orbit around a matte white ceramic pour-over kettle resting on a dark walnut counter. Morning light streams through a window on the left, catching a thin curl of steam from the spout. The camera circles at counter height with a gentle push-in at the end, finishing on a crisp close-up of the curved handle. Clean studio feel, soft shadows, matte textures. Sound: quiet room tone, a faint kettle hiss.
Liquids up close
Honey on pancakes
Prompt
Macro slow-motion close-up: thick honey pours from a wooden dipper onto a stack of warm pancakes. The stream folds and ribbons as it lands, then spreads slowly over the edges. The camera makes a slow push-in from the side, backlight making the honey glow amber. Steam rises gently. Shallow depth of field, kitchen blurred behind. Sound: a soft drip and quiet kitchen ambience.

Open with Kling 3.0 4KOlder Kling versions (2.6, 2.5 Turbo, 2.1 Master and 1.6) are still in the studio's model menu for prompts that suit them, usually at a lower price. Credits are read from the live catalog; the Standard plan ($24/month) includes 2,000 credits, about 13 five-second Kling 3.0 Pro clips.
Prompting Kling well
- Write direction, not keywords: who is in the shot, what they do, and what the camera does, in two to five short sentences.
- Name the camera move in film terms (tracking, orbit, crane up, push-in, dolly zoom). With no camera instruction you mostly get a static shot.
- Give each shot its own line for multi-shot clips: framing, subject, action. Describe a person the same way every time they appear.
- For dialogue, put the action before the line and say how it is spoken ("says warmly"). Name the sounds you want to hear.
- Starting from a photo? Describe only what should change or move; the image already sets the look.
- Shorter clips hold steadier motion. Find the shot at 5 seconds, then extend to 10.
From prompt to clip
Describe the scene or add a photo
Write the shot in the box at the top of this page, or start from one of the example prompts. Add a photo if a face, product or place has to stay exactly as it is.
Sign in and land in Video Studio
Your prompt, photo, format and the Kling version you picked carry over. Nothing runs until you press Generate.
Check the price, then generate
Pick 5 or 10 seconds and whether you want sound. The credit price shows under the Generate button before anything is spent.
Draft on Turbo, finish on Pro or 4K
When a take works on Turbo, run the same prompt on Pro, or on 4K for delivery.
Questions about Kling
What is Kling AI best at?
Following camera directions, staying steady through action, and cutting between several shots with sound in one clip. It is weaker on very close realistic skin, small text and large crowds.
Is Kling 4.0 on Affogato?
Not yet. Kuaishou released Kling 4.0 in October 2026 and we are evaluating it. Kling 3.0, O3 and the 4K tier are available now; this page will say when 4.0 arrives.
What is the difference between Kling 3.0 and Kling O3?
Kling 3.0 is the prompt-driven line: text or a start image in, a clip with sound out, with Standard, Pro, Turbo and 4K tiers. O3 is the Omni line for reference work: it can carry a person or style over from a reference clip, edit a clip you already have, and run up to 15 seconds.
Does Kling generate sound?
Yes. Kling 3.0 generates dialogue, effects and ambience with the picture. Spoken lines work best in English or Chinese. Turn sound off in the studio for a cheaper silent clip.
Is Kling free on Affogato?
No. Every Kling run costs credits, priced by clip length and shown before you generate. Credits come with a monthly plan and unused credits roll over up to the plan's cap.
Can I use Kling videos commercially?
Yes. Paid Affogato plans include a commercial license and no watermark, within our terms of service.
Who makes Kling?
Kling is developed by Kuaishou. Affogato runs it alongside Seedance, Veo-class, Wan and other video models, all on one credit balance.
Can I call Kling from code?
Yes. The Kling versions on Affogato are also available through the Affogato API and MCP server, at the same credit price.
