How to prompt Kling VIDEO 3.0

How to structure your prompt

Describe the subject and appearance, its movement, the scene, camera language, lighting and atmosphere. For dialogue, identify each speaker and quote the exact words. For multiple shots, describe the shots and enable Multi-Shot or Custom Multi-Shot in Kling; keep a single continuous action for one-shot clips. Set duration separately in Kling.

Length and syntax

Up to 2,000 characters. Longer prompts are not better if the extra words do not change what appears on screen.

What it’s best at

• multi-shot narratives
• character dialogue and native audio
• complex subject movement
• longer video clips

Known limitations

• multi-shot requires the corresponding interface switch
• reference elements and image-to-video require separate input workflows

Avoid in your prompt

• unrequested dialogue
• unsupported duration
• assuming text alone enables Custom Multi-Shot
