Kling 4.0 is an AI video model from Kling AI built for expressive action, detailed scenes and cinematic camera movement. Start with a written idea, animate an image or combine visual and audio references. Follow a cyclist through a turn, reveal a product in changing light or let a character carry a scene with movement and dialogue. Choose clips from 3 to 30 seconds and shape the shot around your story.
Kling 4.0 prompt examples
Explore three Kling 4.0 prompts for an action shot, a product close-up and a character scene with dialogue. Each prompt describes the subject, movement, camera and sound.
Follow the action
A cyclist in a cobalt-blue jersey and white helmet leans into a sweeping velodrome turn at sunset. Track beside her at wheel height, keeping her face and bike sharp as the track moves past. Continue smoothly through the bend in one shot. Wind and tire sounds, no music.
Make the product the focal point
An unbranded amber perfume bottle stands on pale limestone beside a sunlit window. An ivory silk ribbon drifts behind it in a light breeze. Move the camera slowly around the bottle, keeping its shape and warm glass reflections consistent. A quiet room with a soft rustle of fabric.
Give a character a voice
A woman with a short dark bob and a midnight-blue coat waits at a tram stop after rain, holding a folded burgundy umbrella. As a tram arrives behind her, she turns toward the camera and says, "There you are. I saved you a seat." Use a gentle push-in, natural speech and the sound of the arriving tram.
