    Overview

    Kling is an AI video generation service developed by Kuaishou, the Chinese short-video company. It creates clips from text prompts or from a starting image, and offers motion and camera options to shape how a scene plays out. It is aimed at creators who want to produce short animated or live-action-style footage without filming it themselves. Clip length is limited, so longer scenes usually need to be generated in parts and stitched together in an editor. Availability, features and plan limits can differ by region and change over time. Results vary between prompts, and fine detail such as hands, text on screen or precise choreography can still break down. Review each output carefully before using it in a published project.
