    What is Kling O3?

    Kling O3 is a video model from Kuaishou. This page covers four Kling tools in Cinemagiq: Kling O3 for animating a still, Kling O3 References for shots guided by reference images, Kling O3 Video Edit for changing an existing clip by prompt, and Kling V3 Motion Control, where a character image performs the movements of a reference video. Together they cover generation, revision and performance in one family.

    Kling O3 needs a first frame and accepts an optional last frame. Kling O3 References takes up to 4 reference images, with first and last frames optional. Clips run 3 to 15 seconds in 16:9, 9:16 or 1:1, with optional sound. Kling O3 Video Edit works on a 3 to 15 second source clip with up to 4 reference images, and Kling V3 Motion Control follows a performance clip of 3 to 30 seconds.

    Reach for Kling O3 when the frame is already right and you want controlled motion from it, such as a slow push-in or a character turning to camera. Use Kling O3 Video Edit to swap in a new prop or costume in a take you like instead of regenerating it. Kling V3 Motion Control suits a performance you can act out yourself. For prompt-only shots or clips longer than 15 seconds, look at Kling 4.0, Seedance 2.5 or MiniMax H3 Max.

    • In Kling O3 Video Edit, cite your references as @Image1 to @Image4, and only cite images you actually attached.
    • In Kling V3 Motion Control, keep the performance clip to 10 seconds or less when the result should follow the character image's framing. Otherwise it can run up to 30 seconds.
    • Use the keep original sound option in Kling O3 Video Edit when the edited clip should keep the source audio.

    Kling O3 FAQ

    What is Kling O3?

    Kling O3 is a video model from Kuaishou. In Cinemagiq it animates a first frame into a 3 to 15 second clip with optional sound. This page also covers Kling O3 References, Kling O3 Video Edit and Kling V3 Motion Control.

    Does Kling O3 need a starting image?

    Kling O3 does: add a First Frame, and optionally a Last Frame, under Add Keyframes in the Video tab. Kling O3 References can work from up to 4 reference images instead, with frames optional. If you need a start frame, make one in the Image tab first.

    Can Kling O3 edit an existing video?

    Yes, with Kling O3 Video Edit. Add a 3 to 15 second clip, describe the change, and attach up to 4 reference images cited as @Image1 to @Image4. You can keep the clip's original sound, and the output length follows the source clip.

    Can Kling O3 generate sound?

    Yes. Sound is optional on Kling O3 and Kling O3 References, so you can switch it on and describe what we hear in the prompt, or leave it off and build the mix later with the ElevenLabs tools in the Audio tab of the Generation Studio.
