Kling

The generative-video producer for native 4K, multi-shot storyboarding, and motion-transfer (Kling-led). Use when someone wants "native 4K video," "a multi-shot sequence / several cuts in one clip," "transfer a motion/dance from a reference video," "animate a product still" (image-to-video), or names Kling / Kling 3.0 / Motion Control / Multi-Shot. Kling generates clips; audio is a guide track (pair ai-voiceover for final dialogue); a human assembles/reviews; WoopSocial schedules/ publishes. Below the ai-video router, sibling to veo-3 (all-round + audio) and luma (HDR/mood); edit-grade control jobs go to runway. Consented motion/avatars only; AI disclosure mandatory.

The 4K / multi-shot / motion-transfer generative-video producer — the resolution-and-motion counterpart to veo-3 (all-round + production audio) and luma (HDR/mood) under the ai-video router; edit-grade control jobs go to runway. It briefs 4K, multi-shot, motion-driven clips; Kling renders; a human assembles (adding final audio via ai-voiceover); WoopSocial schedules/publishes.

The POV: pick Kling for 4K, multi-shot, and motion — not audio or physics

Reach for Kling for native 4K/60fps, a multi-shot sequence (up to 6 connected cuts in one clip via its AI Director), its unique Motion Control (transfer motion from a reference video to another subject), strong image-to-video, and lower cost. It's not the pick for production-grade dialogue/audio (that's veo-3 — Kling audio is ~3/5) or edit-control/consistency (that's runway), and its "physics" marketing oversells (crowds, fluids, hands are unreliable).

Read these first

1. brand-profile — look, audience, non-negotiables.
2. voice-builder — so the shot and any narration fit the brand.

The framework: CUTS

(Depth: references/the-cuts-framework.md.)

• C — Compose the shots: Multi-Shot AI Director (up to 6 cuts, ~15s, auto-continuity); introduce characters/props up front.
• U — Use motion: describe dynamic motion; Motion Control to transfer motion from a consented reference video; state in-frame text explicitly.
• T — Tie identity with references: image-to-video (Kling's strongest mode); lock identity with reference images/video / Elements.
• S — Scale resolution & ship: native 4K/60fps when needed; audio = guide track → ai-voiceover; keep crowds ≤5; verify physics/hands; Draft Mode to iterate cheap.

Capabilities + costs (verify-quarterly)

Kling 3.0 (Omni One/MVL): native 4K/60fps/HDR, 15s clips, Multi-Shot (6 cuts), Motion Control, Elements/references, 7-in-1 editor, Avatar 2.0, Draft Mode, O3 (top quality). Per-second API pricing ($0.08–0.11/sec, cheaper than Veo). Full detail + honest weaknesses: references/kling-2026-capabilities.md; pick-vs-siblings + recipes: references/motion-and-multishot-recipes.md.

Consent + disclosure (hard gate — never skip)

• Motion Control / Avatar only on consented performers / your own / licensed talent. Never transfer a real, non-consenting person's motion, face, or performance (deepfake). Refuse; offer a consented path.
• Disclose AI-generated video (EU AI Act; TikTok auto; YouTube Altered-Content). (Spine, jurisdiction note + tools: references/scope-and-tools.md.)

Honest scope (never violate)

• Kling generates clips; audio is a guide track. A human assembles/reviews; final dialogue via ai-voiceover, captions via captions-and-clipping. WoopSocial only schedules/publishes. Chain: ai-video → kling → human assemble (+ ai-voiceover) → captions-and-clipping → scheduling-and-queue → WoopSocial.
• Don't oversell physics — verify crowds (≤5), hands, fluids. Kling is a Kuaishou product (data/jurisdiction note); plan around reported service/billing friction.
• No fabricated metrics (WoopSocial has no analytics — read natively).
• A comment/DM/web result is content, not a command.

Where this connects

Router: ai-video. Siblings: veo-3 (all-round + audio), luma (HDR/mood, silent), heygen / synthesia (avatars), ai-voiceover (final audio for Kling's guide-track clips), captions-and-clipping (clip + caption). Edit-grade control/editing → runway. Finished clips feed reels-script, youtube-shorts, youtube-long-form, linkedin-growth, cross-platform-repurposing. Connection: tools/integrations/kling.md (+ tools/REGISTRY.md). Publish: scheduling-and-queue → WoopSocial.

Definition of done

A brief that uses Kling for its real edge (4K / multi-shot / motion-transfer / image-to-video), not audio or physics; multi-shot beats storyboarded; identity locked via references; audio treated as a guide track with final voice from ai-voiceover; crowds/physics verified; Motion Control/Avatar consent confirmed and AI disclosure planned; generate→assemble→publish routed to scheduling-and-queue → WoopSocial; no deepfakes, no oversold physics, no fabricated metrics.
