The prompt: “She turns to face the camera and throws her arms wide as the train thunders onto a high steel bridge over a deep canyon. The camera pulls back into a wide aerial shot that ends on the whole train crossing the bridge. <The train horn blasts>, wheels hammering the rails, wind roar. Her mouth stays closed, no narration.”Seedance 2.5 · 8 s · 480p · sound on

Kling 3.0 also takes up to three elements: images of a product or a person, named in the prompt, that it keeps the same through the clip.

Which photos work best?Sharp, one subject, room to move.

The first frame is your photo. What happens after it depends on how much the prompt asks to change.

  • Snow drifts down, she looks up at the sky, then laughs into the lens and says "First snow of the year!"

    A selfie

    Ask for one small move, like a smile or a turn of the head. The smaller the move, the closer the face stays to your photo.

  • The headphones float up off the concrete block as the smoke swirls and the stone cracks beneath them

    A product

    Shoot it sharp, with the label facing the camera. Read the label in the clip before you post it.

  • In the painting, the tiger stops, turns to the camera and roars as the pink grass sways
    A gouache painting of a tiger walking through pink grass under a big orange sun

    A drawing or painting

    Illustrations and images you made with AI work too. Add "keep the style" to the prompt.

  • She turns, throws her arms wide, and the train crosses a high steel bridge over a canyon as the camera pulls back into a wide aerial view

    A wide scene

    Leave room around the subject. A camera move needs space to travel into.
