A next-generation video model for professional audiovisual creation with native 30-second generation, 4K 10-bit HDR, stereo audio, multi-keyframes, and multimodal references.
Kling
Kling 4.0 is Kling AI's next-generation model for professional video creation, with major improvements in realism, control, audiovisual completeness, and long-form storytelling. It supports text-to-video, image-to-video, first and last frames, multi-keyframes, Omni Reference, and video editing, generating native clips from 3 to 30 seconds at 720p, 1080p, or 4K.
The release supports 10-bit HDR at 1080p and 4K, a 21:9 ultrawide format, and two-channel stereo while improving complex motion, camera work, lip sync, performance, and in-frame text. A request can use up to 10 keyframes and up to 15 combined Omni Reference assets, including as many as 10 images and 5 videos totaling no more than 30 seconds, plus voice and element references. The public material does not yet provide the final API model code or complete request fields, so integration parameters must follow the forthcoming API documentation and LinkModel's live model page.

The model supports multilingual text, emoji, and logos with stronger readability during moving shots. Prompts should provide exact copy, language, placement, perspective, type character, and required screen time, followed by spelling and brand review.
