Kling 4.0 Key Features
Kling built Kling 4.0 around four upgrades: the picture and sound, how you reference and edit, how long a story can run, and how many languages it can speak. Each card plays an official Kling 4.0 example.
Native 30-second generation
Kling 4.0 generates up to 30 seconds natively, so a scene with a setup, a turn and a payoff can come out of one generation instead of stitched clips.
Official example · Kling AI
Up to 10 keyframes
Multi-keyframe control lets you pin down the moments a video has to hit, with up to 10 keyframes guiding one continuous shot sequence.

15 multimodal references

Detailed prompt, followed closely
A 7-second continuous shot. In the UK, two friends who haven't seen each other in a long time meet at the corner of a quiet street at dusk, with all kinds of people going about their lives around them. They smile, walk quickly toward each other and hug warmly. Natural expressions and body movement. Handheld camera, slightly shaky, following them. Soft warm light, nostalgic film look. Natural footsteps, street ambience and background music; they speak English.
