Klingis one of the best AI video platforms on the market.

It includes video and image generation as well as a virtual try-on model.

AI video is a rapidly evolving field across both open source and private models.

The real challenger now isGoogles limited availability Veo 2which seems to have an impressive understanding of physics.

Each prompt makes use of the base tweaks and is set to generate 5 seconds of video.

Sport is often a struggle for AI video models.

Before settling onsoccerI attempted cricket and baseball but neither worked effectively.

I found a fixed camera behind a goal worked the best in getting the most out of Kling.

The prompt: “APremier Leaguegoalkeeper makes a diving save under floodlights.

Set at pitch level, directly side-on to the goal.

Stadium lights create a natural rim light around the keeper’s outline.

Deep green pitch and crisp white goal frame provide clear contrast.

The camera position remains completely fixed throughout the 5-second sequence."

A Roman battlefield

This might be the best AI video I’ve ever generated using any tool.

The problem is it doesn’t really follow the prompt that well…

The prompt: “A Roman legionary, caked in mud and blood, drops his sword in disbelief.

End with a rack focus from the lone soldier to the horizon where ravens take flight.”

A common test for AI video is how well it cuts something up close.

The first cut is terrible with nothing visible but the second one gets closer.

The prompt: “Initial frame holds for 1.5 seconds, then transition to 96fps slow motion.

End with the sand blast from impact revealing the watch is actually a sophisticated time machine.”

The ballerina doesn’t move very much but the way it transforms is stunning.

The prompt: “Begin with image frozen, crane up from floor level at 15 per second.

I tried again, starting instead with an image showing an old steam train from above.

That is when it worked perfectly.

The prompt: “Flying Scotsman steaming through the Yorkshire Dales, viewed from 200 feet directly above.

It didn’t follow the prompt perfectly, but did get the structure correct.

The pattern wasn’t properly captured but it did correctly jump from the moulding to the final pot.

The prompt: “Ultra-close macro on hands transforming clay, maintaining 80mm equivalent focal length throughout.

Audio-reactive vibrations in the clay respond to a heartbeat sound design that intensifies with each transition.

Its text-to-video model is particularly impressive.

Others struggle to attain the level of realism seen in image generators.
