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 Seedance 2.5
Build a short story, not just a moving picture: up to 30 seconds, recurring characters, your own references and sound.
Text mode starts without files. Frame mode uses a starting image and, optionally, an ending image.
Reference mode accepts up to 30 images, 10 videos and 10 audio files. Video and audio each have a separate 30-second total budget.
Timestamps guide pacing; they are not frame-accurate editing commands.
A large, conflicting reference set can work against you. Start with the few files that actually matter.
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.

Which model is better?
There is no single winner. First rule out the model that lacks the duration, first or last frame, sound or resolution you need, then compare clips on your own scene. The table highlights only measurable differences.
