Published comparison examples
Kling 4.0 and 3.0 received the same lighthouse prompt. Watch both clips to see how each AI video generator handles framing, motion, and continuity. The full comparison includes four paired short tests.

The Kling 4.0 AI video generator shows the lighthouse from above as the camera approaches. Watch how the aerial viewpoint, moving waves, and silhouette hold together throughout the shot.

See how the Kling 3.0 AI video generator interprets the same camera instructions. Look at perspective, coastline detail, and water movement across the full clip.
Shared lighthouse prompt
A cinematic aerial shot of a white lighthouse standing on a rugged rocky coastline during golden hour. Powerful ocean waves crash against the dark rocks, sending white sea spray into the air. The camera slowly moves forward toward the lighthouse while maintaining a smooth, stable aerial perspective. Natural ocean physics, realistic foam movement, consistent lighthouse architecture, atmospheric sunlight, detailed coastal landscape, cinematic realism, 16:9.
Capabilities and practical value
Start the Kling 4.0 AI video generator with text alone, or guide the shot with references or keyframes. The bottle clip below shows what a single prompt can produce.
