Kling VIDEO 3.0 Capabilities Upgrade:

Kling VIDEO 3.0 Model Highlights

1. Multi-Shot: AI Director Onboard, One-Click Cinematic Output

Let AI help build your scene with more shots and coverage. The all-new Multi-Shot feature is designed to understand scene coverage and shots in your prompt, automatically adjusting camera angles and compositions. From classic shot-reverse-shot dialogues to advanced techniques like cross-cutting dialogue and voice-over, the model understands cinematic languages with precision. No more tedious cutting and editing — just one generation for a cinematic video, making complex audiovisual expressions accessible to all creators.

2. World's First: Image-to-Video + Enhanced Subject Consistency, Core Elements Locked In

Leveraging deep multimodal understanding from the underlying model, in addition to normal Image-to-Video generation, this upgrade supports multi-image references, or even video references as Elements, further anchoring specific elements within the scene. With subject building and referencing, the model locks in the traits of characters, items, and the scene. Regardless of camera movements and scene development, the key subjects remain stable and consistent throughout.

3. Upgraded Native Audio Output with Character Referencing & More Languages

Native Audio is now upgraded for precise referencing of characters and their speaking. In multi-character scenes, you can pinpoint the exact character speaking, eliminating ambiguity and confusion.

Meanwhile, the upgrade now supports multiple languages (Chinese, English, Japanese, Korean, and Spanish), as well as the rendition of authentic dialects and accents. It also supports multilingual code-switching, enabling dialogues in different languages within the same scene. Whether it’s a bilingual conversation for work, or a daily-life scene with multiple dialects, the lip movements and facial expressions are natural and coherent.

4. Native-Level Text Output with Precise Lettering Capabilities

Whether preserving details like signs and captions from the original image, or generating entirely new text content, the model presents clear lettering in well-structured layouts. This not only enhances the realism in video output, but also meets the need for high-fidelity use cases such as e-commerce advertising.

5. 15-Second Generation: More Creativity per Output

The new model generates up to 15 seconds of continuous video, with a flexible duration ranging from 3 to 15 seconds. This is not just about longer output, but unlocking more narrative possibilities — with 15 seconds, the model can comfortably accommodate more complex action sequences and scene development. Whether it's the delicate unfolding of a long shot or the seamless progression of multiple plotlines, everything can be fully presented within a single generation. Say goodbye to fragmented assembly and embrace a story with real progression and flow.

Kling VIDEO 3.0 New Capabilities Guide

1. Multi-Shot Narratives

VIDEO 3.0 introduces highly flexible storyboard control, allowing for dynamic scene and camera angle adjustments, enhancing the narrative effect of the video. In VIDEO 3.0, multi-shot video generation can be triggered through two modes: "Multi-Shot" and "Custom Multi-Shot". When "Multi-Shot" is enabled, the model automatically plans the shot transitions, and this switch is a prerequisite for enabling "Custom Multi-Shot". When "Multi-Shot" is disabled, the model will default to generating a single-shot video.

Multi-Shot

With the "Multi-Shot" switch enabled in the VIDEO 3.0 input area, VIDEO 3.0 will automatically plan scene transitions, shot framing, and camera angle changes based on the prompts. When the "Multi-Shot" switch is on, the model will generally follow the prompts. However, if the described scene is better suited to a single shot, the model will flexibly adjust based on the situation.

Outdoor terrace of a European villa, by a dining table with a blue and white checkered tablecloth, a young white woman in a blue and white striped short-sleeve shirt and khaki shorts, with a brown belt, sits barefoot, opposite a young white man in a white T-shirt. The camera zooms in, the woman swirls the juice in a glass, her eyes looking at the distant woods, and says "These trees will turn yellow in a month, won't they?". Close-up of the man, he lowers his head and says, "but they'll be green again next summer.". Then the woman turns her head, smiles at the man opposite, and says, "Are you always this optimistic? Or just about summer?". Then the man lifts his head, looks at the woman and says, “Only about summers with you.” ExpandHideCopy
A middle-aged man is ordering food in a Western restaurant. He speaks in English with an Indian accent and says: "excuse me, I would like to order a seafood pasta, and a filet mignon. medium-rare", then he looks up and continues: “And, do you have any drink recommendations?”

Custom Multi-Shot

With the "Multi-Shot" switch enabled, clicking "Custom Multi-Shot" allows you to precisely control the content and duration of each shot. The model will strictly follow the prompts to generate a multi-shot video that meets your expectations.

2. Image-to-Video & Element Reference

Building on the Text-to-Video feature, VIDEO 3.0 introduces element binding, allowing you to lock specific elements of the frame to ensure the main character remains consistent. Even with camera movements like zooming, panning, or tilting, the subject stays clear and stable without shifting or disappearing.

After uploading an image, bind the created element through the "Bind Subject to Enhance Consistency" access. With the element reference feature, you can generate a video with element locking and stable visuals. 

Binding a subject ensures both visual and audio consistency: the subject's features are visually matched, and the voice tone can be bound during subject creation. If you choose a subject with a pre-bound voice tone, it's not recommended to set the tone again in the prompt.

Authentic workplace texture, one continuous long take without any cuts. The camera follows the professional woman steadily in a medium shot throughout, moving in sync with her: the camera tracks her as she walks and freezes instantly when she pauses, with natural and smooth movements and fluid camera work. The woman walks forward out of the elevator, and the elevator doors close slowly and naturally behind her; she steps into the office area, takes off her sunglasses by hand, tucks them into her commuter bag casually, and nods politely to colleagues passing by; she pauses briefly, the camera freezes in sync, she hangs her commuter bag on the coat rack in the office area, then takes off her outer coat and hangs it on the same rack; after hanging up her clothes, she walks forward again, the camera tracks her in sync; a young man in a formal shirt walks towards her, hands her a document and a signature pen, she pauses, the camera freezes in sync, takes them and signs the document; after signing, she walks forward again, the camera tracks her in sync; finally, she walks to her desk, sits down by the chair, reaches out to pick up a cup of tea on the desk, and sips it with her head down, her movements relaxed and natural.

• Elements can be created in two ways: 1) Upload/record a character video, and the system will automatically extract the character's appearance and native voice tone, with options to keep the original or replace with a custom tone; 2) Upload 2-4 reference images of the element, where character-based elements can upload audio or specify a voice tone to define a unique voice (To find out more👉Kling 3.0 Element Library User Guide).
   

3. Native Audio Output

Native Audio is now upgraded for precise referencing of characters and their speaking, significantly improving referencing accuracy in multi-character scenes. Meanwhile, the upgrade now supports multiple languages and the rendition of authentic dialects and accents. This breaks through linguistic boundaries for a more natural and diverse audio-visual experience.

Multi-Character Coreference

By clearly specifying dialogue for each character in your prompt, VIDEO 3.0 will automatically match each character with their corresponding lines. This resolves speech confusion in complex scenes, enabling targeted dialogue for multiple characters in the same frame. When inputting instructions, you can pair character directly with their respective dialogue. Compared to Video 2.6, Video 3.0 excels at managing referencing three or more characters and delivering superior narrative outcomes.

Home setting with a faint hum of the living room air conditioner in the background for a realistic daily vibe. Mom (softly, in a surprised tone): Wow, I didn’t expect this plot at all. Dad (in a low voice, agreeing, in a calm tone): Yeah, it’s totally unexpected. Never thought that would happen. Boy (in an excited tone): It’s the best twist ever! Girl (nodding along, in an enthusiastic tone): I can’t believe they did that! ExpandHideCopy

Multilingual Content Generation

Video 3.0 supports dialogue output in five languages: Chinese, English, Japanese, Korean, and Spanish. It supports mixed-language performances and allows characters to switch between different languages within a single video. After entering the corresponding text, the model matches the pronunciation and enables smooth transitions between languages. If dialogue is entered in a language other than those listed above, the model will translate it into English.

Dialects and Accents Generation

By specifying the dialect or accent of the character in the Prompt, Video 3.0 can replicate the character's tone and intonation for an authentic performance. Video 3.0 provides robust support for Chinese dialects (Northeastern, Beijing, Taiwanese, Cantonese, and Sichuanese, etc.) and English accents (American, British, Indian, etc.). Simply tag the desired dialect or accent for the speech content.

4. Native-Level Text Capabilities

Video 3.0 introduces native-level text output, which accurately preserves textual details from original images. This is designed for diverse creative scenarios such as e-commerce advertising and creative shorts. The new model can automatically identify text content in uploaded images (such as signs, captions, or logos) and maintain text consistency, avoiding issues such as text displacement or blurring.

Opening with an ultra-wide-angle medium-long shot tracking horizontally, the stabilizer moves low to the ground, with a highly contrasting romantic cinematic tone of cold blue night and silvery white starry sky, exuding a strong poetic realism and classical epic temperament. The protagonist is a young woman in a dark green long dress, running with all her might on the garden lawn illuminated by moonlight; her skirt billows in the wind forming surging dynamic curves, she clutches a small white flower in her right hand and lifts the hem of her dress with her left, breathing rapidly yet with a firm gaze. At the 4th second, the camera accelerates forward with her, and multiple men and women in old-era ball gowns break into the frame one after another from the left and right sides in the background, running alongside her—some try to approach, some turn back to shout, yet none truly touch her, implying pursuit and escape. At the 8th second, the camera gradually zooms in to a medium shot, pans to track forward in front of the protagonist and lifts slightly; she glances back briefly at a young male character behind her, their gazes meet for a split second, emotions erupt mid-run, and the woman and man join hands to run together. At the 12th second, the music and movement reach a climax; the camera moves forward close to her side face and fluttering hair, she releases the white flower and tosses it into the air, the flower drifting down in slow motion as the crowd behind brushes past it. In the final 3 seconds, the camera keeps moving forward, the woman and man break through the crowd and dash toward the starry sky at the end of the garden, their figures gradually taking over the center of the frame. The overall atmosphere is fiery, romantic and resolute, a burst of narrative about fate, choice and freedom. ExpandHideCopy
This is a 15-second cinematic long take, a single unbroken shot with no edited transitions. The scene is set inside a tower of plaster statues dappled with light and shadow, surrounded by towering white plaster sculptures, evoking an air of mystery and oppression. The shot opens with the protagonist skidding to a halt at the center of the scene after a frantic run, chest heaving, expression dazed and helpless, fear glinting in their eyes. The camera orbits the protagonist in a smooth 360-degree pan. As the camera rotates, the protagonist glances anxiously around and shouts: "Alex! Alex where are you! Are you here?" A cute dinosaur cry then echoes in the background, and the camera pushes in over the protagonist’s shoulder to their back— a small to medium-sized, adorable baby dinosaur steps out from behind a plaster pillar, letting out a sweet chirp. Startled by the sound, the protagonist whips around; catching sight of the dinosaur, they burst into tears instantly and rush forward without hesitation to clasp it tightly in their arms. The dinosaur nestles obediently against them. Sobbing, the protagonist strokes the dinosaur gently and trembles: "I found you! Thank God, I’m so scared!" The overall lighting and shadow boast a cinematic texture, with the emotion shifting from despair to an overwhelmingly touching reunion. ExpandHideCopy
