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 4.0
A clip of up to 30 seconds from text and references or from a chain of keyframes: named characters, voice samples and exact frames.
Text and references: up to 10 reference photos and 5 videos, up to 7 characters (2–4 photos or one 3–8 second video clip each) and up to 3 voice samples. The Video sound switch applies only to reference videos.
Keyframes: a first frame, a last frame and up to 8 middle frames. The total number of frames depends on the duration and never exceeds 10.
The modes do not mix: Keyframes accepts no video, and characters and voices belong only to Text and references mode.
A hero photo must be at least 300 pixels on the short side; a video character needs at least 700 pixels and one continuous shot.
What to inspect with Gemini Omni 1.2 Flash
Video from text, frames and references, editing and extension.
Text: the result is created from a written description.
First and last frame: two photos set how the clip starts and ends.
The result length is 3 to 15 seconds.
At most 10 photos as input.
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.
Sources
