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. ## Sources Prices, availability and specifications come from the Mixer AI catalog. This is not an independent test: try both models on the same task before choosing. - [Prices and availability — Mixer AI catalog](https://mixerai.org/knowledge/catalog.json) ## What we compare [ 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. ](https://mixerai.org/en/knowledge/video/kling-4-0/)[ Seedance 2.5 Build a short story, not just a moving picture: up to 30 seconds, recurring characters, your own references and sound. ](https://mixerai.org/en/knowledge/video/seedance-2-5/) ## FAQ Which is cheaper: Kling 4.0 or Seedance 2.5?
