How do I use Kling?

Updated

Kling is Kuaishou's video model family, available on Higgsfield and built for stylized and multi-shot filmmaking. Use Kling when you need multi-shot scenes with consistent characters, motion transfer from a reference clip, or high-quality cinematic video with native audio. Use a Turbo variant for fast prompt testing, then switch to the full model for final renders.

How do I use Kling for multi-shot generation?

Open higgsfield.aiVideoKling.

  1. Define your scenes. Write a description for each scene: action, setting, camera move, mood. Scenes run as a sequence, so write them as connected narrative beats.

  2. Upload Start and End Frames. These anchor the motion at both ends and make transitions predictable. Use the final frame of one scene as the start frame of the next to chain shots seamlessly.

  3. Add Elements if needed. Elements lock specific characters, products, or objects so their identity stays consistent across all scenes.

  4. Set audio. Kling 3.0 and 2.6 support native audio: sound effects, speech, and background music synced to the action. Generate in silent mode to reduce credit cost if you don't need audio.

  5. Select the genre and speed ramp. Genres: General, Action, Horror, Comedy, Noir, Drama, Epic. Speed ramps: Linear, Auto, Flash In/Out, Slow-mo, Bullet Time, Impact, Ramp Up.

What is Kling Turbo, and when should I use it?

Kling Turbo is a speed-optimized variant for drafting and prompt testing before committing to a full render. It supports text-to-video and image-to-video and is available on higgsfield.ai, Supercomputer, MCP, and CLI.

How does Kling 3.0 Motion Control work?

Kling 3.0 Motion Control transfers motion from real footage onto a character image: you provide a character image and a motion reference video, and the model applies the motion, timing, and expression from the reference while preserving the character's face and style.

What you provide:

  • A character image: arms and hands visible, enough space around the body, clear background.

  • A motion reference video: clean footage, a clear subject, and framing that matches the character image.

It works well for dance, athletics, martial arts, jumps, weight shifts, hand articulation, and changing the scene environment via prompt while keeping the same motion.

Open higgsfield.aiVideoKling 3.0 Motion Control. Motion Control is also available as a tool in Higgsfield MCP.

Common mistakes and fixes

Scenes feel disconnected. Use the final frame of each scene as the Start Frame of the next to anchor visual continuity.

Character identity shifts between scenes. Add the character as an Element before generating: Elements lock identity and proportions consistently across all scenes.

Motion Control result looks off. Check that the character image has arms and hands visible, and avoid reference videos with camera cuts.

Queue is very long. The highest-quality models run at high demand: use a Turbo variant for drafts and switch to the full model for finals. If a generation is stuck for more than 10 hours, contact us through higgsfield.ai/contact. See My generation is stuck, pending, or failed. What should I do?

Got any questions left?

Kling 3.0 is the full-quality model for final renders, up to 4K. Kling 3.0 Turbo is speed-optimized for rapid iteration at 1080p: use Turbo for drafts, Kling 3.0 for finals.

Kling 3.0 and Kling 2.6 generate with synchronized audio.

Kling 3.0 is for multi-shot scene-based filmmaking. Kling O1 Video is a unified generation and editing model: use it when you want to generate and edit in one place, and Kling O1 Video Edit for editing existing footage.

Kling 3.0 Omni and Omni Edit are higher-end models available on Higgsfield: Omni for top-quality 4K generation and editing, Omni Edit for editing existing footage.

The reference video should have a clear subject with continuous, unobstructed motion and framing that matches the character image. Avoid videos with camera cuts.

Yes: record yourself performing the motion and use the recording as the motion reference in Motion Control.

Use Kling Avatars 2.0 in Lipsync Studio, which turns one image and an audio clip into a talking video. See How do I use aspect ratios, lipsync, and voiceover?
