Kling 4.0 Guide: Features, Pricing and Prompts

Kling 4.0 came out on October 15, 2026 and reached Flick on October 26, and most guides so far repeat the announcement instead of showing a run. A model billed by the second has to earn its price before a film depends on it: one 30 second take at 1080p costs 1,410 credits in Flick. So Zoey ran Kling 4.0's headline feature in Flick, one 30 second shot in a single pass from one start frame, and ran the same prompt and frame on Seedance 2.5 Final beside it. This Kling 4.0 guide gives what the model does, what it costs, the exact prompt and what came back, frame by frame.

Kling 4.0 runs on Flick's Standard plan and up.

What is Kling 4.0?

How much does Kling 4.0 cost in Flick?

• Edit Video: 56 credits for each second of the clip you edit, which can run 3 to 30 seconds.
• Omni Reference with a video attached: the rate becomes 28 credits a second at 1080p, counted on the shot plus the reference clips and at least twice the shot's length.
• Plans: Kling 4.0 needs the Standard plan, from $20 a month with 2,500 credits.

How do you use Kling 4.0 in Flick?

1. 1Pick a way in

   Choose Image to Video to animate one still, Omni Reference to build a shot from characters and places, or Edit Video to change a clip you already have.

2. 2Connect the frames

   Connect a finished start frame, plus an end frame when the shot must land on a set picture, because Kling 4.0 animates what you give it rather than inventing the scene.

3. 3Set length and size

   Pick any length from 3 to 30 seconds and 720p or 1080p, and check the credit total on the node before you run, since every second is billed.

4. 4Write the shot

   Describe one camera move, the action in order, any spoken line in quotes and the sounds you want, because the picture and the stereo sound come from the same prompt.

Can Kling 4.0 hold one long take?

Kling 4.0's longest shot in Flick is 30 seconds in one pass, twice the longest Kling 3.0 shot, so the test asks for one shot at that length from a single start frame, with this prompt:

Handheld camera movement. Record a boy holding his lamb, watching the tide roll in and out. Then the camera turns toward his face as he gazes into the distance, with the sunset casting a warm glow across his face.

00:30

• One shot, no cut: the file runs 30.04 seconds at 1924 × 1076 and 24 frames a second, and a scene change scan finds no cut.
• The first half follows the prompt's first beat: the camera stays behind his shoulder while foam rolls up the black sand toward him and a wave breaks offshore.
• The second half turns to his face: the camera moves round to his side and ends in front of him, so the land and a band of orange sunset sit behind him.
• What held: his brown hair and herringbone coat look the same from the first frame to the last.
• What drifted: the lamb drops out of view behind his shoulder for a few seconds mid-shot and reappears in his arms, looking more clearly like a lamb than in the start frame.
• The light: the sunset glows on the horizon behind him rather than across his face, which stays in soft dusk light.
• Sound: the track is stereo, and its left and right channels differ.

The same prompt and frame on Seedance 2.5 Final

00:30

Seedance 2.5 Final read the same prompt differently: the camera stays close behind him with the lamb in view the whole time, the sea stays a distant line, and the shot ends on a close-up of his face in warm golden light, so one prompt can give two quite different long takes.

What else can Kling 4.0 do in Flick?

• End frame: Image to Video takes an optional end frame, so a shot can start and finish on pictures you chose.
• Omni Reference: cite up to 10 images and 5 video clips in the prompt by number, at 16:9, 9:16, 1:1 or 21:9.
• Edit Video: restyle a clip, replace an object or change the setting at 1080p, with the clip's length kept, for clips of 3 to 30 seconds.

We have not tested these three yet, so this guide shows no results for them.

How do you write a good Kling 4.0 prompt?

1. 1. Name the camera move

   Say how the camera moves and when it turns, as the test prompt did with a handheld move that turns toward his face, because that turn is what shaped the second half of the shot.

2. 2. Give a long take beats

   List what happens in order with enough beats for the length, since our two beats over the full length were stretched by a slow move round the boy and the lamb slipped out of view in between.

3. 3. Place the light

   Say where the light comes from as well as its colour, because the prompt asked for a warm glow across his face and Kling 4.0 put the sunset behind him instead.

4. 4. Write the sound in

   Describe the sounds you want and what to leave out, such as music or voices, because Kling 4.0 makes sound with every shot and Flick has no switch to turn it off.
