What to compare visually
For a fair A/B test, use the same scene and, where both modes allow it, the same first frame. Inspect motion continuity, character and object consistency, physics and contacts, camera behavior, temporal deformation, in-clip cuts and audio synchronization.
What to inspect with Kling 3.0
Multiple shots, reference-based characters and optional sound for scenes that need more than an attractive camera move.
- Regular generation starts from text or a first frame with an optional last frame. Duration ranges from 3 to 15 seconds.
- Multi-shot supports up to five scenes with individual prompts and durations. Their durations must add up to the total; a last-frame image is not used in this mode.
- Cuts do not guarantee perfect continuity. Check clothing, hands, product placement and eye lines between shots.
- 4K increases output size; it does not fix misdirected action or anatomical mistakes.
What to inspect with Kling 4.0 Flash
A lighter Kling 4.0: clips of 3–20 seconds in 720p from text and references, or from a start frame.
- Text and references: a prompt up to 8000 characters, up to 7 photos and up to 5 videos totaling up to 20 seconds; the Video sound switch keeps the sound of reference videos.
- Start frame: one optional photo; without it choose 16:9, 9:16, 1:1 or 21:9, with it the format follows the photo.
- Flash gives 720p and up to 20 seconds only; choose Kling 4.0 for 1080p and 30 seconds.
- Start frame mode accepts no video: videos belong to references mode only.
How to run a fair comparison
- Fix the scene, the first frame (if both models accept one), the duration and the resolution.
- Judge motion, not stills: faces, hands and objects should hold across the whole clip and at cuts.
- If sound matters, listen to it separately: dialogue, effects and lip sync differ between models.
- Price a finished clip, not a second: the per-second rate times your real duration, rounded up once.
