Kling enters the 4K era
Kling 3.0 Pro marks Kling AI’s most significant architectural leap — a shift from the standard 1080p ceiling of previous Kling models to native 4K (3840×2160) output at 60 frames per second. This is non-upscaled 4K: generated at full resolution, not processed up from a lower resolution. The Multi-modal Visual Language (MVL) architecture unifies text, image, video, and audio inputs into a single model, enabling true multi-shot storyboarding — up to 6 distinct shots, each with specified duration, shot size, perspective, narrative, and camera movement, all generated from one prompt.Capabilities
Native 4K at 60 FPS
Generates video at 3840×2160 resolution without upscaling, at 60 frames per second — full cinematic fidelity for professional delivery.
Omni Native Audio
Multilingual audio generation including English, Japanese, Korean, Spanish, and environmental soundscapes — generated natively alongside the video.
Multi-shot storyboarding
Specify up to 6 shots in a single 15-second generation — each with its own duration, shot size, perspective, camera movement, and narrative.
MVL architecture
Multi-modal Visual Language architecture natively processes text, images, video, and audio as unified inputs for coherent multimodal output.
Up to 10 reference images
Accepts up to 10 reference images for subject appearance, style, and composition anchoring across a multi-shot sequence.
Complex action accuracy
Handles fast, intricate physical actions — martial arts, dance, sports — with consistent body mechanics and no ghosting artifacts.

How to use
Structure your prompt for multi-shot
For multi-shot output, describe each shot with explicit transitions: “SHOT 1 (3s, wide, establishing): … SHOT 2 (2s, close-up): …” Kling 3.0 Pro interprets these cues to generate distinct cinematographic cuts.
Add reference images (optional)
Upload up to 10 reference images for character appearance, environment style, or composition guidance.
Include audio direction
Describe the audio landscape — dialogue lines, ambient environment, music style — within the prompt for Omni Native Audio.
Prompting tips
- Structure shots explicitly — “SHOT 1: wide establishing exterior, 3 seconds, slow pan right. SHOT 2: medium close-up on protagonist, 2 seconds, static camera.” Kling 3.0 Pro follows cinematographic structure in prompts.
- Specify language for dialogue — If your scene requires characters speaking a specific language, state it clearly: “The character speaks in Japanese with a formal tone.”
- Reference images anchor identity — For character consistency across shots, upload a reference image and describe the character consistently in each shot description.
- Use technical camera terms — “Shallow depth of field,” “Dutch angle,” “rack focus,” and “tracking shot” all meaningfully influence the cinematic output.
Example prompts
SHOT 1 (4s, wide, cinematic): A samurai stands at the edge of a misty forest at dawn. Slow pan left, revealing a village in the distance. Traditional Japanese ambient sounds. SHOT 2 (3s, close-up): The samurai’s hand grips a sword hilt. Rain begins to fall. SHOT 3 (3s, medium): The samurai turns and walks into the mist.
A professional basketball player dribbles through defenders and dunks. Wide angle, 60 FPS, 5 seconds. Arena crowd roaring in the background, sneakers squeaking on hardwood.
