What Kling 3 is best for

Cinematic shots with real camera moves

Ask for a slow dolly, a pan across a room or a push-in on a face. Kling 3 is made for smooth, film-like camera moves, which makes a short clip feel planned rather than random.

Big-screen video in 4K

Need a clip for a website hero, a pitch deck or a screen in a shop window? Render it in 4K so it stays sharp when people watch it large, and keep the lower settings for drafts.

Product shots for your site and ads

Start from a product photo and describe one slow push-in or gentle pan. No photo yet? Make a clean first frame with the AI image generator, then animate it with Kling 3 for a hero banner or ad.

How to use the Kling 3 AI video generator

1
Write a prompt or add a photo
Open the video generator with Kling 3 selected. Describe the scene, the subject and how the camera should move, or upload a photo to use as the starting frame.
2
Choose length, quality and shape
Pick a length of 5, 10 or 15 seconds, a resolution of 720p, 1080p or 4K, and one of 5 aspect ratios. The credit cost updates as you change settings, so you always see the price first.
3
Generate and download
Press generate and wait for your clip. It is saved in your gallery, where you can download it. Not quite right? Change the camera move in your prompt and try again.

Kling 3 aspect ratios for every screen

Kling 3 supports 5 shapes: 16:9, 9:16, 1:1, 4:3 or 3:4. Go wide for YouTube and websites, tall for TikTok, Reels and Shorts, and square or the in-between shapes for feeds and ads. If your starting photo is the wrong shape, extend it first with the AI image resizer so it matches the shape you pick.

Kling 3 prompt tips

Name one clear camera move per clip, such as a slow dolly in, a tracking shot or a crane up, instead of mixing several.
Describe light and texture, like warm window light, wet pavement or film grain, so the scene has something to catch the eye.
Test your prompt at 720p first and only switch to 4K for the version you plan to publish.
For photo-to-video, try a fresh angle of your still with cinematic angles or sharpen it with the AI image upscaler before you animate it.

Example prompt

“Slow crane shot rising over a misty mountain lake at sunrise, a lone wooden canoe drifting across still water, pine forest edges, soft golden light, gentle film grain, wide cinematic framing.”
