## 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 Grok Imagine Video

Animate a frame, try several ideas and build a clip lasting 6–30 seconds.

- Text or photos, 6–30 seconds, at 480p, 720p or 1080p.

- Up to 7 photos at 480p and 720p; one at 1080p. Presentation modes include Normal, Fun and Spicy.

- Presentation modes do not override service restrictions or guarantee particular content.

- Inspect identity, clothing and props throughout longer clips.

## 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.
