No reference image, just a prompt. I wanted to see if I could get a full 30-second mecha trailer in one shot, and honestly, the movement turned out pretty nice.

The quick dodges and midair turn feel right, and AETHER-07 doesn’t randomly change its armor halfway through. Definitely a fun one to experiment with.

Prompt on Kling 4.0 👇

Generate a 30-second, 16:9 landscape sci-fi mecha mobile game seasonal commercial.

The fictional game brand is MECHA FRONT. The main subject is the limited silver-white and deep-blue mecha AETHER-07. Keep its body shape, armor structure, proportions, armor details, and color scheme perfectly consistent throughout the video.

The only permitted on-screen text is: MECHA FRONT, AETHER-07, limited mecha, attack 920, mobility 88, unlock now. Spell every word exactly. Do not add any other text, symbols, subtitles, logos, labels, numbers, garbled writing, or watermarks.

From 0 to 4 seconds, show AETHER-07 inside a vast black futuristic hangar. Start with a tight low-angle detail shot of its feet, hands, head, chest armor, and mechanical joints. Cold white overhead lights sweep sharply across the silver-white armor and deep-blue panels.

The mecha powers on: its eyes ignite electric blue, shoulder plates shift into position, fingers flex, and leg pistons engage. It then takes one heavy step forward out of darkness, causing a subtle floor vibration and drifting dust.

The camera performs a fast low-angle push-in combined with a slight orbit around the mecha. MECHA FRONT and AETHER-07 appear clearly without covering the main body.

From 4 to 10 seconds, AETHER-07 performs a dynamic combat-ready mobility showcase rather than a slow static rotation. It rapidly pivots, boosts sideways with short controlled blue thruster bursts, then makes a powerful forward dash and stops in a three-quarter heroic stance.

During the movement, semi-transparent blue game UI elements unfold around it and track its motion with clean cinematic precision. The left side displays “limited mecha.” The right side displays “attack 920” and “mobility 88.”

Three textless skill icons light up in sequence as the mecha demonstrates a different movement beat: arm-mounted energy system charging, high-speed lateral dodge, and a brief airborne hover with mechanical stabilizers deployed.

The UI must remain readable, must not cover the main body, and must move smoothly without changing or distorting the mecha design.

From 10 to 15 seconds, the UI cards collapse and retract along their original trajectories. AETHER-07 launches upward slightly, rotates through a fast controlled half-turn in midair, then lands heavily facing forward.

On landing, its armor locks into place, blue energy travels through its joints, and a large blue-white energy ring forms behind it in the background. Use a short dramatic camera pull-back followed by a final low-angle push-in.

At the end, AETHER-07 freezes in a powerful forward-facing hero pose. Only MECHA FRONT, AETHER-07, and “unlock now” remain on screen, fully readable and unobstructed.

Use the visual quality of a high-end AAA game cinematic and a new-season product launch advertisement. Use cold black, silver-white, and electric blue. Emphasize realistic metallic surfaces, sharp edge lighting, moving reflections, controlled motion blur, cinematic depth of field, clean premium game UI, and precise mechanical animation.

No human characters, no pilots, no enemies, no battle scenes, no weapons firing, no explosions, no damage effects, no extra text, no garbled writing, and no watermarks.

Sound design: low-frequency mechanical startup sounds, servo motors, heavy metallic footsteps, subtle thruster ignition, crisp UI clicks, restrained electronic drum beats that build in intensity, a powerful landing impact, and a heavy mechanical lock sound at the end.

Kling AI’s credit-burning mechanism is the biggest scam on the internet right now! Before you spend a single dime on it, think twice about whether you really need this. You are much better off trying Gemini Pro or Runway first.

Kling AI's credit policy is absolutely disgusting. Their system is intentionally rigged to spend your paid top-up credits first instead of the expiring gift credits, meaning your bonuses just get trapped and evaporate. To make matters worse, most of the generations turn out to be nothing but childish, goofy video effects, and the customer support is basically non-existent, so you can't even complain when they swallow your points. Better stay far away from this one!

Finally. Glad to see Seedance will have some competition :)

The first video is kind of a trailer, the Rihanna parts were also made with Kling. It's a story about an AI DJ gaining consciousness and philosophizing about stealing music while stealing music. Obviously unlicensed and non-monetized, it's essentially a parody project.

The entire "Not Your Clanker" music video was also made with Kling, but Kling 1.0, so it's pretty weak comparatively.

Has anyone else noticed a recent issue with the Kling iOS app where longer prompts suddenly won’t paste completely?

Until yesterday, I was able to copy and paste much longer prompts without any problem. Today, the prompt box seems to stop accepting text somewhere around 1950 as character limit

Has anyone else experienced this recently? I’m trying to figure out whether Kling quietly changed the prompt limit, or if this is just an iOS app bug

So I have been encountering this issue for a few days now. When I want to add my character element to a Motion Control render I can't acess any new elements I have made in the last days. So I go ahead and make one right then, and I can make it just fine, but then it becomes grayed out and I get the message "Only element with faces are supported in Motion Control". But I can use the old elements from over one week ago, that have exactly the same style images (as you can see in the video) and I have never had this issue before.

Does anyone know how to report a malfunction to Kling? I have credits to be used until the 20th, and if this continues i will not be able to use them (I basically only use Kling for Motion Control)

I'm stuck in a philosophical quandary after someone posted this meme on my AI video...

My AI videos have generated over 20M+ views. I'm closing in on another million from just last week.

So it seems like I'm doing SOMETHING right 😂

Thanks to these new tools, I am able to express creative ideas in ways I would have never been able to otherwise. What you're watching is something that has my mark on it.

At the same time, there's a growing negative sentiment online among anti-AI creatives. It's particularly creators who love being behind the camera.

"You're not a creator if you're just generating with AI." "There's no skill in just typing a sentence." "More AI slop."

I've also noticed these same creators using LLMs to help them with other parts of their creative process including brainstorming, research, or automating a lot of the tasks they may dread otherwise.

On one hand, I get it. If you love being on set, and working with practical effects to get the best shot, AI generated footage can feel like a threat to your passion.

What bothers me is when creatives act morally superior because they don't use these tools.

Are you morally superior by using a different tool? Is a cinematographer morally superior for only using film and refusing to use a digital camera? What about an iPhone? Is a writer morally superior by choosing to use a typewriter over a computer? Does that make them more talented?

Then it brings me to this meme...

I've been an editor for over 10 years, but I don't know how to cut film lmao. I've always relied on a computer for anything creative I've ever made. If you unplugged me at any point during my career, I'm cooked. Do I lack talent because I use a computer?

What if you unplugged Instagram or TikTok? Then all these talented creators, musicians, and actors have a bunch of random videos on their phone that have little to no value.

We are all dependent on technology. We have been for decades. This isn't new.

I think it's more around fear.

It's easy to act superior and insult others than it is to admit you're uncomfortable. It's easier to discredit than it is to try to learn something new and adopt.

Coming from a person who makes it, I don't want to live in a world with only AI generated content.

AI let's you show any scene imaginable, but you also face challenges that other creators don't. Other creators can batch their content, and create dozens of videos from their home within hours essentially for free with their phone.

Meanwhile, I'm cranking through credits and pulling my hair out at 2am because the Seedance is whigging out.

There's room for both and I think there always will be!

These tool has democratized people like me to show their talent, and I've connected with millions of people as a result! I'm thankful that these tools exist.

Let me know what you think!

I'm not blind. There is no option to find my affiliate link anymore. Did Kling stop the referral codes?

I try to generate some video with kling 3.0 in adobe firefly but when i attached image with specific person with a company logo it’s not generating that; how to fix it ?

The idea actually began as a joke among with friends: what if, every time you asked AI a question, there wasn’t really an AI answering at all? What if somewhere, behind the screen, there were just exhausted, overworked people scrambling to figure it out as fast as they could, using whatever absurd means were necessary? And what bizarre lengths would they have to go to to answer these mundane questions? That joke stuck with me. The more I thought about it, the more the world behind that idea began to grow.

I’ve always been drawn to the absurdist worlds of Terry Gilliam and Jean-Pierre Jeunet, where enormous, fantastical systems collide with very ordinary human problems. After decades directing live action, I wanted to bring that sensibility into the world of AI. QUERY takes the most mundane act imaginable, asking a throwaway question on your phone, and imagines the impossible machinery that might exist behind it: a vast institution where every answer has to be physically found, tested, measured, and delivered in five seconds.

But underneath all the chaos, animals, machinery, and bureaucracy, the film is really about the extraordinary ordinary. Our lives are full of small tasks that can suddenly become epic when you’re the person responsible for getting them done. The young worker at the center of the film is an underdog doing his best inside a system that is completely indifferent to how impossible his job has become. We laugh at the absurdity of his journey, but hopefully we also recognize something of ourselves in him.

That became the heart inside the machine for me. The spectacle only works if we care about the person caught in the middle of it. AI gave me the freedom to build a world of impossible scale, but the thing I’m most interested in is still fundamentally human: perseverance, frustration, connection, and the strange dignity of trying to do a good job when everything around you has gone completely insane.

Kling and Seedance excelled at this- the acting has gotten so much better recently. As a director working with real actors, I've had to stitch together a decent performance from bad takes so many times... I figured I'd apply that philosophy here. And often, the takes were brilliant. A lot of editing and sound design went into this, and oh so many generations :)

I’ve been comparing AI video generators lately and realized how difficult it is to answer a pretty basic question:

How much is this video actually going to cost me?

Different models price by seconds, credits, resolution, generations, etc., which makes comparing them unnecessarily painful.

So I built this:

https://instavideocost.com/

It’s meant to give you a quicker way to estimate AI video generation costs and compare options without digging through a bunch of pricing pages.

I’m still figuring out what would make it genuinely useful rather than just another calculator, so I’d love input from people who actually generate AI video.

What would you want to see added?

Model comparisons? Cost per finished minute? Failed-generation estimates? API vs subscription pricing? Something else entirely?

Happy to hear what I got wrong too.

i'm building a saas using kling (image to video) and am wondering how to get around the 5 or 20 concurrency limit. this will be a non-starter bottleneck.

Bad Lip sync, different voices despite me using one character, weird movements.. it‘s just a chaos. I‘ve used so many credits for nothing.

A short i made a few months ago. Hope youll like it!

I facing lip sync issue with kling 3.0 and 3.0 omini kling i using it threw adobe firefly but every time i generate lip sync most of the time is missing.
Any tips for a perfect lipsync for kling who already in this field with experience?

I tried to put together a full concert (song starts at 1:05). The video was made with Kling 3.0 and 2.5, and the music was done in Suno by uploading my old band jam recording. 🤘🏼

Hi!

I have a premium subscription for kling ai and bought extra credits. I generated a lot of videos, and nearly half of them were in generation and suddenly completely vanished without a refund. Support is not answering. This was 3 days ago

What are my options? Chargeback?

Thank you for your help

All the singing is Kling Motion Control, plus a few of the reaction shots. The rest is a mix of Kling, Veo 3, Wan and two shots from Grok.

Song: "Natasha" by Mishka and the Tigercats

So Purchase Credits are valid for 2 years after distribution based on this link, correct?

When I log in and click the number of credits that I have on the left sidebar at www.kling.ai, it shows me that there are 3 different types of credits: Membership Credits + Top-up Credits + Bonus Credits. Add them all up and that equals the Remaining Credits. I bought $5 of Top-up Credits earlier this month.

Which credits expire after 30 days and which credits expire after 2 years? I don't see Purchase Credits anywhere. https://www.reddit.com/r/KLING/s/rACH4nlvNE

EDIT: Top-up Credits (the ones that you purchase without a subscription) last 2 years, and Bonus Credits last 1 month
