Kling AI video generator: Kling 3.0 for cinematic, physical motion
Kling, from Kuaishou, is known for believable movement — people walking, fabric moving, objects with weight. Kling 3.0 Standard makes clips of 3 to 15 seconds at 720p from text or a start frame.
In ShortsMachine, Kling animates each scene of your script, starting from a key image so characters and settings stay consistent, then everything is narrated, captioned and stitched.
