What changed in Kling 4.0

Kuaishou's Kling AI fully launched Kling 4.0 on October 15, 2026. The headline change for prompt writers: a single generation can now run from 3 up to 30 seconds, long enough for a real long take with a beginning, middle and end, and the prompt box accepts up to 8,000 tokens, so you can describe every beat instead of hoping the model fills the gaps.

It also adds up to 10 keyframes and up to 15 reference assets (Omni Reference), stereo audio generated with the picture, and 720p, 1080p and 4K output. The catch: a 30-second clip has room to drift. Characters change outfits, the camera wanders, the story stalls. A timed shot list fixes that.

Shot list

The 30-second shot-list structure

Write your prompt in six blocks. The timeline is the core; the rest keeps the long take consistent.

1. Header[Kling 4.0 · 30s · 16:9 · one take]

Tell the model the length, aspect ratio and that it is a single continuous take.

2. Subject & worldSubject: … / Scene: …

Who we follow (look, outfit, one defining detail) and where. Repeat the same wording later so the character stays consistent.

3. Style & lightStyle: … / Light: …

Film look, colour grade, time of day. One clear direction beats a pile of adjectives.

4. Timeline beats0–8s / 8–16s / 16–24s / 24–30s

Three to five timed beats. Each beat = what happens + how the camera moves. This is where 30 seconds and 8,000 tokens pay off.

5. SoundSound: …

Ambience, music mood, dialogue lines. Kling 4.0 generates stereo audio with the picture.

6. ConstraintsConstraints: …

No cuts, consistent face and outfit, no on-screen text, natural physics. Keeps long takes from drifting.

Tips that make long takes hold together

  • One camera idea per beat. “Slow push-in” or “arc to close-up”, not five moves at once.
  • Repeat the character description word for word if the subject reappears after leaving frame.
  • Give every beat a visible action. Static beats are where 30-second clips start to drift or loop.
  • End on a clear final frame (pull-back, freeze, light change) so the clip doesn't just stop.
  • Write it in the language you think in. Kling reads both English and Chinese well; don't mix both in one prompt.

Guide

How to plan a 30-second Kling 4.0 long take

Think in beats, not in one sentence

A 30-second clip is long enough for a small story, and a single descriptive sentence leaves the model to invent everything in between. Split the time into three to five beats and give each one an action and a camera move. The templates on this page use four beats of roughly 8 seconds, which is a comfortable rhythm for most scenes.

Repeat the character description

Long takes are where characters drift: a red coat turns maroon, a hairstyle changes. Describe the main character once in detail at the top, then refer back to the same key details (for example 'the traveler in the red coat') inside each beat. Consistent wording is the cheapest way to keep a character consistent.

One camera idea per beat

Combining a drone shot, an orbit and a push-in in the same beat usually produces a messy, floating camera. Choose one clear move per beat from the glossary and let the next beat carry the next move. Static or slow moves also make lip-sync and faces more stable.

Use the sound line

Kling 4.0 generates audio with the picture, so a short sound line is worth writing: ambience ('rain on pavement, distant traffic'), music mood ('soft piano, slow tempo') and any spoken line in quotation marks. Keep dialogue short; one or two lines in 30 seconds is plenty.

Test short, then go long

Long generations cost more credits. Try your prompt at 5–10 seconds first to check the look and the character, then extend to 30 seconds once you like it. Save prompts that work in a notes app so you can reuse their structure for the next scene.

Questions

FAQ

When was Kling 4.0 released?

Kuaishou fully launched Kling 4.0 on October 15, 2026, after a September preview.

How long can a Kling 4.0 video be?

A single generation runs from 3 to 30 seconds. Kling also lets you extend an uploaded video further for multi-part stories.

How long can a Kling 4.0 prompt be?

Up to 8,000 tokens. You rarely need that much; a well-structured 30-second shot list is usually 150–400 words.

Do I need to write prompts in Chinese?

No. Kling understands English and Chinese. Pick one language per prompt; every template here comes in both.

Why does my 30-second video drift or change the character?

Long takes need anchors: a consistent character description, a visible action in every beat, one camera move per beat and a constraints line saying no cuts and the same outfit throughout. A reference image or keyframe helps too.
