Overview

Kling v1 Pro Image to Video is a generative model that transforms a single static image into a smooth, coherent video. By interpreting the visual features of the input image and combining them with a textual prompt, Kling v1 Pro Image to Video animates motion in a stylistic and realistic way. It supports short video durations and offers fine-grained control through several parameters to shape the animation's style, pacing, and framing.

Technical Specifications

Kling v1 Pro Image to Video is designed to generate short animated video clips from a single image input.

The model supports motion continuity through optional tail and mask images, helping refine transition and detail preservation.

Temporal coherence is maintained throughout the generated frames using internal motion consistency mechanisms.

Kling v1 Pro Image to Video handles varying aspect ratios without cropping by interpreting image layout relative to selected framing.

Generation is optimized for two fixed durations (5s and 10s), balancing rendering speed and visual smoothness.

Input images should be clear, high-resolution, and visually rich to achieve better motion consistency.

Prompt guidance strongly affects the type of motion and scene interpretation. Use specific, descriptive language.

Results can vary depending on prompt-image alignment. Make sure the prompt corresponds to what is visually available in the image.

Negative prompts are useful for removing unwanted elements such as blurriness, artifacts, or stylistic anomalies.

Avoid combining conflicting concepts in prompt and image to ensure fluid motion generation.

Key Considerations

Always ensure that the input image URL is accessible and stable, preferably in .jpg or .png format.

When using a tail image, keep it visually aligned with the main image to avoid motion jumps.

If a static mask is used, ensure its resolution matches the input image and that masked areas are clearly defined.

Avoid extremely low-resolution input images, as it may reduce frame coherence and detail quality.

Motion generation is limited to visual context present in the image—objects fully or partially visible are prioritized.

Tips & Tricks

  • Prompt: Use descriptive action phrases (e.g., "a woman walking through a meadow at sunset"). Focus on movement, environment, and lighting.
  • Negative Prompt: For cleaner results, include terms like "blurry", "distorted", "low quality", "artifact", or "flicker".
  • Cfg Scale: Ideal values range from 0.4 to 0.8. Lower values (e.g., 0.4) allow more creativity, while higher values (e.g., 0.8) adhere more closely to the prompt.
  • Duration: Choose between 5 or 10. Use 5 for fast render and concise motion, 10 for richer and extended transitions.
  • Aspect Ratio:
    • 16:9 for cinematic landscape visuals,
    • 9:16 for vertical mobile-style outputs,
    • 1:1 for centered, social media-friendly formats.
  • Tail Image Url: Optional. Add a visually similar follow-up image to influence the final frames with smoother continuity.
  • Static Mask Url: Use when you want to freeze specific parts of the input image while the rest animates (e.g., keeping a background static while the subject moves).

Capabilities

Animate a single image into a video with consistent motion.

Reflect prompt-based style and thematic animation through text input.

Control motion flow using optional tail or static image masking.

Produce videos in vertical, horizontal, or square formats.

What can I use for?

Creating short animated visuals from portraits or artistic images.

Generating social media content from static artwork or photos.

Prototyping animated storyboards based on character or scene illustrations.

Visual storytelling for concept art and still photography.

Things to be aware of

Upload a static character illustration and prompt motion like "turning around slowly" to bring it to life.

Use tail images that continue a scene (e.g., character slightly moved forward) to enrich final transitions.

Freeze background using a static mask while animating only the foreground subject for cinematic depth.

Limitations

Only two fixed durations (5, 10) are supported. No custom frame lengths.

Motion is generated from the image context and prompt—no external motion reference or keyframes are accepted.

Complex scenes with overlapping elements may result in visual artifacts or misinterpreted movement.

Image masking requires careful segmentation. Poor mask quality can cause unnatural freezes or tearing.

Fine facial movements and lip-sync are not supported.
