Kling AI 2025: 4K, longer clips, motion control

What’s new

• 4K renders for cinematic and product shots; drafts stay 1080p for speed.
• Longer clips: sequences up to 2 minutes with steadier motion.
• Motion control: camera paths (pan, dolly, orbit) now exposed in the prompt UI.
• Upload safety: higher rejection for low-quality uploads and copyrighted overlays.
• Batch renders: queue multiple prompts; renders process sequentially.

Quality tests

• Product spot 40s: 4K clean, minor flicker on neon scenes; solved by lowering motion intensity.
• Explainer 90s: faces stable when seeded from stills; subtitles need external tool (use CapCut or SRT import).
• Stylized short 20s: motion control prevented unwanted zoom; keep prompts concise (<40 words).

Recommended settings

1. Draft at 1080p, final at 4K only when composition is locked.
2. Use motion: orbit for product b-roll, pan for landscapes, dolly for narrative shots.
3. Start from a clean still (photoreal) generated on a dedicated visual tool (Akool) to reduce artifacts.
4. For dialogue, generate silent video then add captions/VO in post to avoid drift.

Workflow (photoreal-first)

1) Generate keyframes/stills on a photoreal tool, 2) prompt Kling with the still + motion type, 3) export draft, 4) add captions/VO in a caption tool, 5) final export at 4K. This keeps texture quality high and cuts revision loops.

Pricing / limits (Feb 2025)

• Free/Trial: watermark, limited queue.
• Standard: 1080p + some 4K credits, batch queue.
• Pro: more 4K minutes, priority rendering, higher upload caps.

Change vs 2024: 4K is now credit-based and tied to the Pro quota; uploads face stricter quality checks.

FAQ

• Does 4K slow everything? Drafts stay fast; only final renders use 4K credits.
• Is audio supported? Kling focuses on visuals; add audio in post for control.
• How to avoid flicker? Keep motion intensity moderate and seed from a clean still.
