- Native generation up to 30 seconds per clip
- Up to 15 reference materials and 10 keyframes for precise control over character states, scene changes, and plot progression
- Significantly improved facial expressions, texture detail, and lighting
- Multilingual generation (Chinese, English, Japanese, Korean) with regional dialects/accents and on-screen multilingual text rendering
- New video editing features like character replacement, plus lip-sync that handles rap
Director Kim Seong-hun (Seoul Spring) used Kling 4.0 for his AI short Bug Train, praising how close it gets to real filmmaking.
