Up to: 15 seconds
Resolution: 4K (720P / 1080P / 4K tiers; exact pixel dimensions not published in the API docs)
Aspect ratios: 16:9, 9:16, 1:1
Weights: Not released
API: Yes
Commercial use: Not established

Reference videos of 3 to 15 seconds can drive feature reference and multi-shot generation, and elements (built from images or from a 3-8s character video) can be bound to a specific voice for lip-synced dialogue. Intelligent storyboarding is available by setting shot_type to intelligence.

Commercial use — Not established

Output use is governed by Kling's Terms of API Paid Service (https://kling.ai/document-api/guides/protocols/paid-service); that document could not be retrieved for review, so commercial-use rights are recorded as unverified rather than assumed.

The licence notes recorded during research were read for a commercial-use position and did not state one. Read the licence before you rely on any of this. Nothing on this page is legal advice, and this site does not tell you a model is cleared for commercial use.

Strengths

Only Kling model that mixes text, image and reference video in one request
Multi-shot storyboarding plus first/last frame control in the same generation (added 2026-05-07)
Element voices can be bound so characters speak with a chosen timbre and lip-sync
4K supported for every function except reference video

Weaknesses

Video-input requests cost about 50% more per second than plain generation
4K is excluded when a reference video is used
Parameter surface (multi_shot, shot_type, element_list, image_list) is complex relative to the Turbo model

Best for

Narrative and ad work that needs several shots, a recurring character with a fixed voice, and motion or style pulled from an existing clip.

What to understand before using it

Explainers naming the mechanisms this model's own documentation mentions.

Character and set consistency: the weakest link names “consistency”
Temporal consistency: flicker, drift and morphing names “consistency”
Camera control: a move without a camera names “control”
Conditioning and control: everything you hand the model besides noise names “control”
