Prompt Guide for Kling

Basic Structure

"[Subject], [action/motion], [camera movement], [environment], [lighting], [style]"

Example Prompts by Category

Product: "A sleek smartphone on a marble surface, camera slowly orbits 90 degrees, studio lighting with soft reflections, product commercial, cinematic"

Nature: "Ocean waves crashing on rocky shore at sunset, golden light, slow motion water splash, wide angle, 4K documentary style"

Portrait: "Young woman in coffee shop, she looks up from her book and smiles softly, warm indoor lighting, shallow depth of field, indie film aesthetic"

Urban: "Time-lapse of city street at night, neon signs reflecting on wet pavement, cars leaving light trails, drone descending, cyberpunk atmosphere"

Food: "Honey being drizzled onto a stack of pancakes, extreme close-up, golden viscous liquid, steam rising, food commercial, warm tones"

Camera Movements

Kling responds well to specific camera instructions:

• "Static camera" — no movement
• "Slow pan left/right" — horizontal movement
• "Dolly in/out" — forward/backward
• "Orbit around" — circular movement
• "Crane up/down" — vertical movement
• "Tracking shot" — follows subject
• "Zoom in/out" — focal length change

Image-to-Video Best Practices

Choosing Source Images

The source image heavily influences output quality:

• High resolution: 1024x1024 or larger
• Clear composition: Subject clearly visible
• Proper lighting: Well-lit with consistent shadows
• Action potential: Choose images that suggest motion

Workflow with ImgCraft

• . Generate a high-quality image with ImgCraft Editor
• . Refine with editing tools (adjust lighting, composition)
• . Switch to Video mode
• . Upload the refined image
• . Write a motion-focused prompt
• . Generate with Kling 2.0

Advanced Techniques

Multi-Shot Storytelling

Generate multiple clips that tell a story:

• . Establish shot (wide angle, scene setting)
• . Medium shot (subject introduction)
• . Close-up (detail/emotion)
• . Reaction shot or resolution

Style Consistency

Maintain visual consistency across clips:

• Use the same style keywords across prompts
• Generate from related source images
• Match lighting descriptions
• Keep color palette consistent

Prompt Refinement

If results aren't perfect:

• . Simplify — reduce complexity
• . Be specific — add more motion detail
• . Change camera — different angles can help
