How to prompt Kling 4 (Kling 4.0, kling_v4) for cinematic AI video that does not look like AI slop: let a strong image model compose every shot, then give Kling 4 two to four key frames and a short director's prompt. Covers reference-to-video inputs (@Image, @Element, @Video, @Voice), multi-shot prompts with seconds, 30-second takes, dialogue in quotes, "no slow motion", lens and film-look lines, prompts that fail and their rewrites, elements that need two photos, the failure fixes…
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# Kling 4 prompting: compose in pixels, animate with Kling Kling 4 (`kling_v4`, Oct 2026) renders up to 30 s at 1080p in one take, cuts between shots by itself, speaks dialogue with native audio and takes up to 10 images, 5 videos, 7 elements and 3 voices as references. Its motion and sharpness are a step up from Kling 3. Its weak spot is the shots it invents: given only a character sheet, a location and a long prompt, it picks flat, "AI-smooth" framing. The method below comes from fal's Kling 4 cinematic guide and Halloween music video ([YouTube, 2026-10-30](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WzXKggH-0Io)). It was checked on varg with our own test (see Tested). ## 1. The mental model | Seedance 2.5 habit | What Kling 4 wants instead | |---|---| | Two character sheets and a location render, a long prompt, then hope | Every important shot already made as a still: composition, lens, light, grade | | The video model decides the framing | The image model decides the framing, Kling 4 only moves between the frames | | Long prompt does the work | Short prompt (1–4 sentences), the pictures do the work | …

How to install
mdr add varghq/skills/kling-4-prompting@sha256:1bb49b63339331abThe line at the top of this page pins the label v1.0.0, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
