Kuaishou Kling AI's next video model—longer takes, keyframe direction, and richer multimodal reference.
Coming soon on Flux.art. Full public release targeted for October 2026. Generate with Kling 3.0 today.
Kling 4.0 is the September 2026 generation of Kuaishou's Kling AI video stack, announced on 28 September as the successor to Kling 3.0. Official materials and contemporaneous reporting describe a model built for longer, more directed takes rather than another five-second wallpaper loop. A single native generation can run from three to thirty seconds. Up to ten stills can sit on the timeline as keyframes so the clip unfolds between planned beats instead of inventing the whole arc from one sentence. Omni Reference can pull as many as fifteen multimodal inputs—images, video clips, a voice reference, and saved subjects—into one job, with published caps of ten images, five reference videos (thirty seconds combined), and seven elements. Prompts stretch to eight thousand tokens when you need a shot list, not a slogan. Picture output is listed at 720p, 1080p, and 4K, with a new 21:9 ultrawide frame alongside 16:9, 1:1, 9:16, and Auto. Audio moves to two-channel stereo with tighter lip-sync, and spoken coverage expands to include German and French on top of Chinese, English, Japanese, Korean, Spanish, and Portuguese, plus regional Chinese dialects and English accents. On-screen type is called out as a 4.0 addition: Chinese, English, Japanese, Korean, Spanish, Portuguese, German, French, and emoji that are meant to stay readable when the camera moves. Two items are still labeled coming soon on Kling's own spec: 10-bit HDR at 1080p and 4K, and multi-pass extension that can grow a clip toward two minutes. The full public model is targeted for October 2026 without a named day. A lighter sibling, Kling 4.0 Flash, opened limited early access on 28 September to Kling Ultra Yearly (Black Gold) members: three to twenty seconds at 720p SDR, first-frame image-to-video, and Omni Reference, but not the 4K or HDR path. On Flux.art, Kling 4.0 is coming soon. We will add text-to-video and image-to-video when the full model is available to our stack. Until then, Kling 3.0 already runs here for multi-shot three-to-fifteen-second clips at 720p, 1080p, or 4K with native audio. This page is a capabilities brief so you can assemble briefs, keyframes, and reference packs before the switch turns on—not a generate button dressed as a launch.
Double the native ceiling versus Kling 3.0's 15-second cap. Write a scene that needs a hold, a turn, and a closer without stitching three mismatched renders.
Place stills as beats. Kling 4.0 interpolates continuous video between them so character state and scene changes follow the order you planned.
Combine up to ten images, five clips, a voice, and seven saved subjects in one request so faces, products, and motion style stay on brief.
Kling 4.0 is not live on Flux.art yet. Watch this page for launch. Until then, create with Kling 3.0 in the video generator.
Kling 4.0 is aimed at teams who already outgrew a single locked-off take: longer scenes, a keyframe storyboard, and references that behave like a production bible—not a moodboard the model politely ignores.
What Kling announced for the full October model versus Flash—and what Flux.art will support only after launch.
Full 4.0 lists both. Flash image-to-video is first-frame only. Flux.art will enable the modes we actually wire, marked coming soon until then.
Up to ten stills on a timeline. The model generates the in-betweens so scene and character state follow your beat sheet.
Up to fifteen mixed inputs, plus an edit path of one primary clip and four supports inside a thirty-second budget.
Two-channel sound, tighter lip-sync, wider language and dialect coverage, and readable supers that are meant to survive camera moves.
Flexible duration. Full model lists 720p, 1080p, and 4K. Flash is 720p SDR. Ultrawide 21:9 is new. HDR remains coming soon.
No generate button yet. Use Kling 3.0 for production today. This page will update when Kling 4.0 is available in our video generator.
Use cases that benefit from a thirty-second scene, a keyframe pack, and references that keep talent and product stable.

A thirty-second hero can open wide, cut to a detail still you pinned as a keyframe, and close on packaging with readable type. Keep the bottle and face locked with Omni Reference instead of hoping a long prompt remembers the SKU.

21:9 framing plus a longer take is built for trailers, short-drama scenes, and documentary-style walk-and-talks. Keyframes can mark a location change without starting a second job.

Stereo lines in more languages and dialects, plus on-screen type and emoji for 9:16. Plan a Flash-speed draft at 720p when it lands, then step to full 4.0 for the finishing resolution.
The model is coming soon. Use this path to prepare—and keep shipping on Kling 3.0 until launch:
Write the scene as a beat sheet: who is in frame, what happens, where the camera sits. Collect up to ten stills for key moments and product plates so you are ready when reference slots open.
Kling 4.0 is not in the Flux.art video generator yet. When we enable it, this model page and the generator will show the live duration, ratio, and sound controls the API exposes.
Need pixels this week? Run Kling 3.0 for text-to-video or image-to-video, 3–15 seconds, 16:9 / 9:16 / 1:1, optional sound, and 720p to 4K.
Keep prompts, stills, and brand rules in one folder. After launch, drop the same pack into Kling 4.0 for the longer take, extra keyframes, and Omni Reference.

We will enable Kling 4.0 when the full model is available. Until then, direct multi-shot scenes with Kling 3.0—native audio, locked subjects, and up to 4K.
