About Kling 4.0
Kling 4.0 is the fourth major version of Kling, the video model from Kuaishou. In Kinoseed it works from a text prompt alone, or from a start image with an optional end image, so you can fix the first and the last shot and let the model move between them.
Clips are 5, 10 or 15 seconds long in 16:9, 9:16 or 1:1, at 720p or 1080p. There is no sound switch: the model makes sound with the picture, and it is part of the price.

Clips are 5 or 10 seconds long in 16:9, 9:16 or 1:1. Sound is optional: leave it off for a silent clip, or turn it on to have the model generate audio with the picture, which costs more. When you start from an image, the clip takes its framing from that image.
