Kling O1 Reference

Kling O1 is the world's first unified multimodal video model, designed to merge video generation and editing into a single, seamless workflow. By supporting text, image, and video inputs, O1 lets creators generate high-quality content guided by a source clip and reference images. This reference mode has no first-frame slot, so it cannot open a clip on a given still. With capabilities ranging from character consistency retention to 10-second clip generation, this model serves as a comprehensive creative engine. Learn more in the official Kling O1 User Guide.
