Kling AI video models
Kling's catalog separates generating a scene from transferring a performance. The generation models work from a written brief or visual references, while Motion models pair a character image with a reference performance. Kling O3 Pro adds a route for reference-led generation and editing an existing video.
8 models available in Starpop. Updated .

Choosing a Kling AI model
Generating a scene or sequence
Compare Kling 2.6 Pro and Kling 3.0 for new shots. Kling 3.0 adds native audio and structured multi-shot timelines. Check the specific route's frame controls before choosing Turbo for a faster iteration.
Transferring a character performance
Choose a Motion route when you already have the movement you want in a reference clip. Match the character's framing and proportions to the performer, then compare Standard and Pro on the same inputs.
Editing with multiple references
Consider O3 Pro for source-video edits or more complex reference briefs. Assign each input a clear role, such as subject identity, motion, composition, or style, so references do not compete.
