Kling 4.0 is now available in Tong’s Text to video, Animate an image and Create video from reference tools. The addition gives creators three ways to begin a shot while keeping model selection and creation inside the existing workspace.
The model supports whole-second durations from 3 to 30 seconds, 720p or 1080p output and included native audio. Choose the starting material first, then set the controls available for that workflow.
Match the workflow to your input
Use Text to video when the scene begins as a written idea. Animate an image when you already have the opening composition; this route follows the starting image’s framing. Create video from reference is the choice when image references should guide the result.
The reference workflow accepts up to ten images. Refer to them with the corresponding @ImageN labels so the brief makes each reference’s role clear. For example, one image might establish the subject and another the setting. This release exposes image references; inspect the tool’s available inputs before planning a shot around another input type.
Plan one clear shot
A useful original brief is: “A cyclist pauses beneath a station canopy as the camera slowly moves closer; light rain is audible.” Start with one action and one camera move, then choose a duration that gives that action enough time.
This is a planning example, not a claim about a tested generation. Review any generated sound as part of the result, especially where the scene needs a particular spoken line or a precisely timed effect.
