## Unified creation and editing

Kling O1 is the first video model to unify generation and editing in a single system — you can create a new video from scratch and then edit specific sections, restyle footage, extend shots, or swap elements within the same model, without exporting to a separate editing tool.

The Multi-modal Visual Language (MVL) architecture accepts six input types simultaneously: text, images, keyframes, reference videos, motion references, and video editing instructions. This makes Kling O1 uniquely capable for production pipelines that need a single model to handle multiple stages.

## How to use

<Steps>
  <Step title="Open the AI Video Generator">
    Log into ImagineArt and go to the **AI Video Generator**.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Select Kling O1">
    Choose **Kling O1** from the model dropdown.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Choose your input combination">
    Select the combination of input types that fits your use case — text only, text + images, keyframes + motion reference, or video editing mode.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Upload references">
    Upload up to 7 reference images, a reference video, or motion reference as needed.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Describe your multi-shot structure">
    For multi-shot output, structure your prompt with explicit shot descriptions — up to 6 shots per generation.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Generate">
    Click **Generate**. Generation typically completes in 1–2 minutes for complex multi-input requests.
  </Step>
</Steps>

## Prompting tips

* **Describe edit targets precisely** — In editing mode: "Change the background from day to night while keeping the subject unchanged" is more accurate than "make it darker."
* **Use keyframes for transitions** — Define your start and end keyframes; let Kling O1 fill in the motion between them consistently.
* **Combine input types** — "Based on this reference image \[image], in this visual style \[image 2], with this camera movement \[motion ref]..." — the MVL architecture processes all inputs cohesively.

### Example prompts

> SHOT 1 (wide, 3s): A detective walks into a rain-soaked alley at night. SHOT 2 (close-up, 2s): Detective looks at a clue on the ground, rain drops visible. SHOT 3 (medium, 3s): Detective turns and exits the alley. Reference image for detective character appearance attached.

> Restyle the provided footage to a vintage 1970s Super 8 film look. Keep all motion and subjects identical; change only the visual aesthetic.

<Tip>
  Kling O1 is the strongest model when your workflow requires both creating new footage and editing or transforming existing video within the same pipeline. For maximum capability with audio, consider [Kling O3](/ai-models/video/kling-o3).
