  The generative-video producer for native 4K, multi-shot storyboarding, and motion-transfer
  (Kling-led). Use when someone wants "native 4K video," "a multi-shot sequence / several cuts in one
  clip," "transfer a motion/dance from a reference video," "animate a product still" (image-to-video),
  or names Kling / Kling 3.0 / Motion Control / Multi-Shot. Kling generates clips; audio is a guide
  track (pair ai-voiceover for final dialogue); a human assembles/reviews; WoopSocial schedules/
  publishes. Below the ai-video router, sibling to veo-3 (all-round + audio) and luma (HDR/mood);
  edit-grade control jobs go to runway. Consented motion/avatars only;
  AI disclosure mandatory.

# kling

The **4K / multi-shot / motion-transfer** generative-video producer — the resolution-and-motion
counterpart to **veo-3** (all-round + production audio) and **luma** (HDR/mood) under the
**ai-video** router; edit-grade control jobs go to `runway`. It briefs 4K, multi-shot, motion-driven clips; Kling renders; a human assembles
(adding final audio via ai-voiceover); WoopSocial schedules/publishes.

## The POV: pick Kling for 4K, multi-shot, and motion — not audio or physics
Reach for Kling for **native 4K/60fps**, a **multi-shot sequence** (up to 6 connected cuts in one
clip via its AI Director), its unique **Motion Control** (transfer motion from a reference video to
another subject), strong **image-to-video**, and **lower cost**. It's **not** the pick for
production-grade dialogue/audio (that's **veo-3** — Kling audio is ~3/5) or edit-control/consistency
(that's `runway`), and its **"physics" marketing oversells**
(crowds, fluids, hands are unreliable).

## Read these first
1. **brand-profile** — look, audience, non-negotiables.
2. **voice-builder** — so the shot and any narration fit the brand.

## The framework: CUTS
(Depth: `references/the-cuts-framework.md`.)
- **C — Compose the shots:** Multi-Shot AI Director (up to 6 cuts, ~15s, auto-continuity); introduce
  characters/props up front.
- **U — Use motion:** describe dynamic motion; **Motion Control** to transfer motion from a consented
  reference video; state in-frame text explicitly.
- **T — Tie identity with references:** image-to-video (Kling's strongest mode); lock identity with
  reference images/video / Elements.
- **S — Scale resolution & ship:** native 4K/60fps when needed; **audio = guide track → ai-voiceover**;
  keep crowds ≤5; verify physics/hands; **Draft Mode** to iterate cheap.

## Capabilities + costs (verify-quarterly)
Kling 3.0 (Omni One/MVL): native 4K/60fps/HDR, ~15s clips, Multi-Shot (6 cuts), Motion Control,
Elements/references, 7-in-1 editor, Avatar 2.0, Draft Mode, O3 (top quality). Per-second API pricing
(~$0.08–0.11/sec, cheaper than Veo). Full detail + honest weaknesses:
`references/kling-2026-capabilities.md`; pick-vs-siblings + recipes:
`references/motion-and-multishot-recipes.md`.

## Consent + disclosure (hard gate — never skip)
- **Motion Control / Avatar only on consented performers / your own / licensed talent.** Never
  transfer a real, non-consenting person's motion, face, or performance (deepfake). Refuse; offer a
  consented path.
- **Disclose** AI-generated video (EU AI Act; TikTok auto; YouTube Altered-Content).
  (Spine, jurisdiction note + tools: `references/scope-and-tools.md`.)

## Honest scope (never violate)
- **Kling generates clips; audio is a guide track.** A human assembles/reviews; final dialogue via
  **ai-voiceover**, captions via **captions-and-clipping**. **WoopSocial only schedules/publishes.**
  Chain: ai-video → kling → human assemble (+ ai-voiceover) → captions-and-clipping →
  scheduling-and-queue → WoopSocial.
- **Don't oversell physics** — verify crowds (≤5), hands, fluids. Kling is a **Kuaishou** product
  (data/jurisdiction note); plan around reported service/billing friction.
- **No fabricated metrics** (WoopSocial has no analytics — read natively).
