The Kling 4.0 prompt generator gives you 20 free, copy-ready prompts for Kuaishou's newest AI video model — designed for 30-second clips, 10-keyframe steering, Omni Reference (up to 15 references), and 4K HDR output. No signup required.
The Kling 4.0 prompt generator on this page delivers 20 professionally crafted, copy-ready prompts for Kling 4.0, Kuaishou's latest AI video model and a major leap forward from Kling 3.0. Announced September 27, 2026, with a Flash early-access version live from September 28, Kling 4.0 doubles clip length to 30 seconds, raises keyframe steering to 10 images, and introduces Omni Reference — up to 15 reference images in a single generation.
What separates Kling 4.0 from every previous version is scale. At 30 seconds, a single generation can carry a complete brand film, a mini-documentary sequence, or a cinematic short — not just a clip. The 10-keyframe system lets you steer the video beat by beat, and Omni Reference means you can anchor characters, locations, objects, and style simultaneously from reference images. Output at 4K with stereo audio and 10-bit HDR (rolling out) puts it squarely in professional production territory.
Every prompt below is structured around Kling 4.0's capabilities: 30-second narrative beats, reference cues, camera movement, audio design, and production style references. Copy and paste directly into Kling 4.0 or Kling 4.0 Flash.
Use this beat structure for 30-second Kling 4.0 prompts:
Kling 4.0 key upgrade — 30-second structured narratives:
Unlike Kling 3's 15-second multi-shot approach, Kling 4.0 handles full 30-second narrative arcs in a single generation. Structure your prompt in explicit beats with approximate timestamps — the model honours the pacing. For the best results, also specify Kling 4.0 Flash for rapid iteration drafts, then switch to full Kling 4.0 for the hero generation.

30-second brand film: Opens on a lone backpacker cresting a mountain ridge at first light, wind in hair, city skyline fading below — medium wide, handheld naturalism; cuts to extreme close-up of worn boot soles on granite, chalk dust rising; cuts to POV descent through pine forest, morning mist, confident stride; cuts to the backpacker emerging into a sun-drenched valley, arms open, exhale of relief; final wide aerial pull-back revealing the mountain range in full. Brand voice: understated, earned, real. No dialogue, ambient nature audio building to an orchestral swell at the final beat, 4K.
Parkour chase sequence using 10 keyframes: rooftop sprint (wide), vault over HVAC unit (close detail), mid-air between buildings (dramatic overhead), landing roll (ground-level), corridor sprint (tracking), stairwell slide (Dutch angle), window crash-through (slow-mo), alley scramble (handheld), final leap to fire escape (freeze-frame peak), lands and looks back at camera (medium close). 30 seconds total. Urban Tokyo setting, golden-hour sidelight, high-energy percussive score, 4K.
Cinematic portrait mini-series using character reference: same woman throughout — early 30s, auburn hair, olive complexion, white linen dress — in three visual environments: (1) sun-drenched Amalfi terrace, morning espresso, slight breeze, soft golden backlight; (2) rain-slicked Paris street at dusk, umbrella, neon reflections, medium close-up; (3) dim candlelit library, hand tracing spines of books, intimate focus. Character face and clothing held consistent across all three environments. 30 seconds total, warm film emulation.
Ultra slow-motion (1,000fps simulation) surfing sequence at sunset: a surfer drops into a massive barrel wave — water wall frozen, droplets suspended like glass beads in the amber light; camera inside the barrel looking outward as the tube closes overhead; surfer threads through, emerges in an explosion of foam spray, backlit, triumph expression; cut to aerial telephoto of surfer silhouette against a mirror-flat ocean at golden hour. No dialogue. Ocean sound design at natural speed under the slow-motion visuals. 30 seconds, 4K.
30-second luxury fashion film for a couture coat launch: model in architectural wool trench on the steps of a brutalist concrete building at blue hour, first shot establishing — wide, symmetrical, sculptural light; second shot tracking her walk through the building's interior colonnade, coat hem sweeping polished stone; third shot extreme close-up of fabric texture and hand detail in motion; final shot — model turns to face camera in a wind-machine hero moment, coat billowing, clean white wall behind. Editorial silence broken only by the coat's fabric sound, 4K.
30-second destination film for Kyoto in autumn: opens on aerial above flame-red maples, traditional temple rooftops below; cuts to street-level — a woman in a sage kimono walks a stone path through falling leaves, lanterns lit in the dusk; cuts to close-up of maple leaves on still water surface; cuts to night shot — paper lanterns glowing orange along a canal, reflections shimmering; closes on wide aerial pulling back as temple lights come on below the mountain. Native ambient audio throughout: leaf fall, temple bell, water, distant shamisen. 30 seconds, 4K, warm colour grade.
30-second horror short: exterior wide of an isolated Victorian house in fog, single window lit upstairs; slow push toward the front door which stands open an inch; interior corridor, sepia wallpaper peeling, child's drawings on the floor leading forward; camera inches to a door at the end of the hall; the door swings open slowly revealing a chair facing away, something sitting in it; the figure turns — a child, expression blank, holding a music box that plays two notes then stops; silence; cut to black. No jump cuts. Complete tension held through camera movement alone, near-silence with distant wind, 4K.
Abstract 30-second music video sequence: a female singer in a white silk dress stands in an infinite void, slowly becoming visible as coloured light particles coalesce around her silhouette; she sings with intensity as the particles form a spiral galaxy around her body; a beat drop shatters the galaxy — fragments reconfigure into a mirrored room with the same singer multiplied into infinity; final second: every reflection turns toward camera simultaneously. Colour palette — deep navy, electric cyan, gold. Sync-cut ready at 0:08 and 0:24. 4K.
30-second food documentary sequence with native ASMR audio: opens on a market stall in Marrakech, spice pyramids in vivid turmeric and paprika hues, vendor hands scooping into a cloth bag — close-up, sound of dry spices; cuts to kitchen — tagine lid lifted, steam rising, lamb tender and aromatic; extreme close-up of preserved lemon slice added, sizzle sound; medium shot of chef tasting from a wooden spoon, eyes closed in approval; final wide of the complete dish plated on a hand-painted ceramic in courtyard afternoon light. Michelin documentary quality, 4K.
30-second sci-fi sequence aboard a derelict space station: exterior establishing shot — the station orbits a gas giant, lights flickering; interior airlock opening, astronaut in worn EVA suit enters, helmet torch cutting through dust floating in zero gravity; corridor walkthrough, old mission photos drifting, one console still blinking; reaches the observation dome — Earth below, impossibly beautiful, the astronaut removes their helmet, first human here in decades; held close on their face — wonder, relief, grief simultaneously. Ambient electronic soundscape, near-silence, 4K, photorealistic VFX.
30-second wedding highlight reel — golden hour outdoor ceremony: slow-motion bride and father walk through an olive grove, sun-dappled, veil catching the light behind her; groom's reaction close-up, jaw dropping, eyes glistening; ring exchange extreme close-up, hands trembling slightly; the kiss — wide shot, guests erupting, confetti in slow-motion against the sky; final aerial pull-back over the olive grove, couple tiny below in a sea of celebrating guests. Warm film emulation, string quartet implied in the ambient audio, 4K.
30-second corporate brand film for a climate-tech company: opens on satellite view of Earth, pulling down to a solar farm in the Nevada desert at dawn; cuts to close-up of a technician's hands connecting a panel, morning sky behind; interior open-plan office, diverse team at whiteboards with energy data on screens; exterior construction site, enormous wind turbines being raised against blue sky; closes on time-lapse of a city powering up at dusk, lights flickering on across the skyline. Narration space left open. Optimistic orchestral tone, natural ambient audio layered underneath, 4K.
30-second luxury penthouse walkthrough: smooth Steadicam from front door, floor-to-ceiling glass walls reveal Tokyo skyline at dusk; glide through open-plan living — raw concrete, custom art, eight-seat dining table pre-set with crystal; into the master suite, bed centred on the city view, silk curtains in a dawn breeze; bathroom — infinity bath, marble everywhere, the city visible from the tub; final shot from the terrace, drone pulling back as the penthouse lights glow against the city darkness. Interior design film quality, ambient city hum, 4K.
30-second black and white street documentary: a city in heavy rain — wide of a crossroads at 5AM, a single traffic light cycling through empty streets; close-up of a night-shift worker's face lit by a bus window; umbrella of an elderly man navigating a puddle-filled alley; a newsstand owner arranging the morning papers under an awning; a child pressing their nose to a toy shop window; final wide high-angle — the whole wet street reflected in a single perfect puddle. No dialogue. Rain as the only constant sound. High grain, timeless, 4K.
30-second premium tech product reveal: darkness, then a single particle of light — it expands, drawing the outline of a thin device in the void; light sweep reveals brushed titanium, edge-to-edge display activating; the device floats and rotates, camera moves in to show the display illuminating a user's face — a woman, expression shifting from curiosity to delight; cut to lifestyle — same device on a marble desk at a bright apartment window, morning light; final hero shot — device centre-frame, logo appears, tagline: 'Think differently, again'. Minimalist electronic score, 4K, Apple quality.
30-second fitness motivation film: 5AM alarm, bedside lamp clicks on — extreme close-up; lacing running shoes on a dark stoop, hands in detail; first steps into predawn city streets, breath misting in cold air; interval cuts of training — weighted bar overhead in a gym, battle ropes slamming, sprint finish on a track; slow-motion moment of the runner breaking through a finish line tape, face contorted, then released in relief and joy; final shot — same person standing on a coastal cliff at sunrise, breathing slow, at rest. High-energy EDM implied in the cut rhythm, 4K.
30-second documentary re-enactment: a Roman legionary forges a sword in a stone workshop, 50 BCE — glow of furnace light, hammer on iron, sparks exploding in slow motion around the anvil; tongs turn the orange-hot blade; water quench — explosive steam cloud; the finished blade raised and inspected against the forge light; cut to wide of the smithy, slaves and soldiers in background, the sound of a distant army marching. Cinematic grain, earthy desat colour grade, muted amber tones, PBS/BBC period-documentary aesthetic, 4K.
30-second aerial landscape sequence — Iceland in winter: opens on a caldera of an active volcano, lava-orange against black obsidian fields, drone banking to reveal the scale; slow tilt up to show the Northern Lights emerging overhead in ribbons of green and violet; dramatic push across frozen Vatnajökull glacier, the surface an alien white, deep crevasse shadows below; final shot — lone figure standing at the glacier edge, the full aurora visible above, tiny against the earth's ancient ice. BBC Planet Earth production quality, native wind and geothermal audio, orchestral build, 4K.
30-second K-pop concept video sequence: five dancers in matching iridescent outfits on a minimalist white set, geometric LED panels shifting colour behind them; opening wide establishing the group symmetry; cuts between close-ups of each dancer's face and hands during precise formation moves; chorus drop — the LED panels shatter to reveal a neon void behind, each dancer lit in a different saturated hue; slow-motion jump freeze at the peak; final frame — group pose, lights fade to a single spotlight on centre dancer. Beat-sync cuts throughout, 4K, 9:16 portrait crop.
30-second coming-of-age drama sequence: a teenage girl on her last day before leaving for university — bedroom in the afternoon light, boxes half-packed around her; she sits on the empty bed looking at a photo pinned to the bare wall; her mother appears in the doorway, leans on the frame, they look at each other — a whole conversation in the silence; the girl crosses the room and they hug, the mother's face over her shoulder, not letting go; final shot — the girl carries a box down the front path to a waiting car, one last look back at the house. No dialogue. Piano, single hand, under the ambience, 4K.

The Kling 4.0 prompt generator on this page gives you 20 free, copy-ready prompts built specifically for Kuaishou's Kling 4.0 AI video model. Kling 4.0 supports 30-second clip generation, 10-keyframe steering, Omni Reference (up to 15 reference images), 4K resolution with stereo audio, and a fast Flash version. Each prompt on this page is structured to exploit these capabilities — specifying keyframe beats, reference cues, camera movement, audio design, and duration.
Kling 4.0 is Kuaishou's fourth-generation AI video model, announced September 27, 2026 with a Flash (fast) early-access version available from September 28. The key upgrades over Kling 3.0: clip length doubles from 15 seconds to 30 seconds; keyframe steering increases from multi-shot narration to 10 explicit keyframe images in one request; Omni Reference accepts up to 15 reference images simultaneously; output reaches 4K with stereo audio and 10-bit HDR (rolling out); and a new video editing mode lets you submit up to 5 input clips (combined 30 seconds) for AI-powered editing. Kling 4.0 Flash is the speed-optimised version for rapid iteration.
Omni Reference is Kling 4.0's multi-input system that lets you upload up to 15 reference images (characters, locations, objects, styles) alongside your text prompt. In practice, upload reference images through the Kling interface, then write your prompt describing how to compose them — for example: 'Character from reference image 1 walks through the location from reference image 2 at golden hour, wearing the outfit from reference image 3.' The model uses all inputs to generate a coherent output. Prompts work best when you specify which reference element plays which role in each scene beat.
Kling 4.0 Flash is a speed-optimised variant of Kling 4.0, available in early access since September 28, 2026. It generates at significantly faster speeds than the standard Kling 4.0 tier, making it ideal for rapid iteration, client previews, and social content workflows where turnaround speed matters more than maximum quality. Flash produces shorter clips and lower resolution than the full model, but still supports keyframe steering and multi-reference input. It runs cheaper credits than full Kling 4.0.
Effective 30-second Kling 4.0 prompts follow a beat structure rather than a single-scene description. Think in three to five narrative beats, each 5–10 seconds: opening establishing shot → character/action development → a turning point or reveal → close or final image. For each beat specify: camera angle and movement, subject and action, location and lighting, and one audio cue. Kling 4.0 is particularly responsive to explicit timestamps ('at 0:10 the camera cuts to...') and production quality references (Netflix, BBC Planet Earth, Apple launch event). Keep prompts under 300 words for best coherence.
Kling 4.0 is available through Kuaishou's platform under the Kling Ultra subscription tier, which was the first access tier at launch in October 2026. A Flash (fast) version became available in early access from September 28. Pricing and access tiers are subject to change — check the current Kling AI platform for the latest credits pricing and subscription options. Third-party API providers including fal.ai typically offer pay-as-you-go access to Kling 4.0 as it reaches broader availability.
