Now, Kling 4.0 is entering early access, with a wider rollout coming in October. Meanwhile, Kling 4.0 Flash will be available to Ultra Yearly subscribers starting September 28.

Together, these upgrades put more creative control in your hands.

 

Now, you call the shots.

Audio-Visual Performance for True-to-Life Visuals

  • Handle large-scale scenes with ease

Dynamic Motions and complex camera movements remain smooth and stable. Whether it’s high-speed movement, continuous action, tracking shots, or orbit shots, footage stays stable and seamless.

  • A major leap in audiovisual quality

Supports high-quality audio and two-channel stereo. More accurate lip-sync keeps voices, dialogue, and performances naturally synchronized, delivering a more immersive audio experience.

 

Kling 4.0 also improves lip-sync accuracy, creating a more natural connection between voice, dialogue, and performance for characters that feel more alive.

  • Professional-grade output

10-bit HDR output at 4K and 1080p is coming soon, delivering richer color and smoother transitions between light and shadow. In high-contrast scenes such as backlit shots, night scenes, and neon-lit settings, it preserves more detail in highlights and shadows, reduces color banding, and gives creators more flexibility in color grading. 21:9 ultrawide format is also supported, expanding the field of view and giving creators more room to compose immersive, cinematic shots.

Omni Reference for Greater Creative Control

  • Multimodal References

Use up to 15 reference assets in a single generation, combining images, videos, and subjects (including a specified voice for a subject). You can include up to 10 images, 5 videos (up to 30 seconds in total, including video subjects), and 7 subjects (including subjects defined by multiple images or video).

  • Precise Video Editing

Make targeted edits to character expressions, body movements, camera positions, camera movements, overall style, video backgrounds, and more, while keeping the rest of the scene stable. Reduce repeated generations and iterate more efficiently.

 

  • Creative Recreation

Reference the narrative pacing, shot composition, and visual expression of existing videos while replacing products, characters, and other assets. No need to start from scratch or repeatedly fine-tune. Quickly turn proven creative concepts into your own content for social media, product advertising, fashion and beauty, consumer electronics, and other commercial video applications.

Narrative Upgrade for Seamless Storytelling

  • Native 30s Generation

Kling 4.0 generates videos up to 30 seconds long in a single generation, supporting long takes and continuous storytelling. Emotions, actions, and camera movement develop naturally within one coherent narrative.
