Kling o1: create or edit video from reference video or image, or drive motion with first and last frame—flexible input and strong motion control.
This model gets stronger as the shot becomes more explicit. Give it a subject, a move, a frame, and a mood so the output feels directed instead of guessed.
Best results start with a directed prompt or a strong first frame.
Kling o1 on Pixio is Kling's flexible-input video model: reference video-to-video, reference image-to-video, and first + last frame image-to-video. Use a reference video to guide motion and camera style, or multiple reference images for character and scene consistency; or supply start and end frames and let the model animate the transition (3–10s). Use it when you need strong motion control and multiple reference inputs in the Kling ecosystem.

| Mode | Input | Best for |
|---|---|---|
| Reference Video to Video | Reference video + prompt | New shots that preserve motion and camera style |
| Reference Image to Video | One or more reference images + prompt | Consistent character/object/environment |
| First + Last Frame | Start image + end image + prompt | Animate the transition between two keyframes; 3–10s |
| Option | Values | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Duration | 3–10s (first+last frame; default 5s) | Check Pixio for other modes |
| Reference elements | Up to 7 (images + start frame) in reference mode | When UI supports multiple refs |
| Credits | Varies by mode and tier | Check Pixio for current rates |
Kling o1 is built for reference in, consistency out: reference video drives motion and camera; reference image(s) drive character and scene identity. First + last frame gives you precise start and end keyframes while the model fills the motion in between.
For first + last frame: describe style and scene; the images define start and end. For reference video/image: describe what should be consistent or how the new shot should relate to the reference.
Credits depend on mode (reference video, reference image, first+last frame) and duration. Check the model card in Pixio for current rates.
"Smooth transition from the opening shot to the closing shot. Character walks forward three steps. Urban street, overcast, natural lighting."
"Cinematic motion between the two keyframes. Same style and lighting; camera slowly pushes in."
| Scenario | Best choice |
|---|---|
| Reference video or multi-reference image, first+last frame (Kling) | Kling o1 |
| Standard Kling text/image, first+last (Pro) | Kling (V2.6/V3/O3) |
| Cinema-grade, multi-shot from one ref | Seedance 2 Pro |
| Talking head / lip-sync | Fabric, Character 3, OmniHuman |
Start with a strong first frame when consistency matters more than surprise.
Keep each prompt focused on one primary motion direction.
Use shorter runs for iteration, then scale up for finals.
For narratives, structure the idea as Shot 1 / Shot 2 / Shot 3 instead of one flat blob.
A strong video prompt gives the scene a subject, a move, camera behavior, and a mood to hold onto.
Start from language and push for camera intent, pacing, atmosphere, and shot design in one move.
Start from a frame or reference when consistency matters more than improvisation.
Continue or refine the clip without throwing away the visual language you already established.
Kling o1 works well when the prompt needs motion, framing, and visual direction, not just subject matter.
Use it for sequences that need a strong first frame, continuity, or a clearly controlled camera idea.
Treat each generation like a shot brief instead of a loose caption to get more cinematic outputs.
Start with either a directed text brief or a strong frame, depending on how locked the look already is.
Write the motion like a director: subject, action, camera behavior, environment, lighting, and tone.
Iterate fast on shorter runs, then move to stronger finals once the rhythm feels right.
Use it to build a stronger first frame, then hand that frame to the video model for motion and continuity.
Pair it with frame extraction, merge tools, or image prep so the motion workflow stays clean end to end.
