Kling 4.0 launches with text-to-video and image-to-video

KEY FACTS

  • Kling 4.0 supports two input modes: text-to-video and image-to-video.
  • Users can specify motion, camera path, and ending, and adjust duration and format.
  • The page offers Flash and Pro creation options, with a credit estimate shown before generation.
  • The full model is claimed to support up to 10 keyframes and 15 multimodal references.
  • The company says access, pricing, and API details for the full model will be updated separately.

PHYSIX OBSERVATION

By pushing up the keyframe and reference-image counts, Kling 4.0 is clearly moving toward a controllable, film-grade workflow rather than just flashy short clips. For production teams, the real barrier has shifted from generation quality to how to plug AI into existing storyboard and review pipelines; whoever solves that first gets the orders first.
