  Write three shots, let multi-shot cut between them

  

  A night tango on a rain-slick cobblestone street in Buenos Aires. A man in his late thirties in a dark waistcoat and a white shirt open at the collar, and a woman in her early thirties in a backless black satin dress, dance close under a single amber streetlamp. Shot 1, wide: the couple turns through the falling rain and her dress flares. Shot 2, close-up: their faces almost touching, rain running down his cheek, she smiles. Shot 3, low angle on their feet: a sharp turn, her heel flicking water off the stones. Sound: a bandoneon tango drifting from an open window, steady rain, heels clicking on wet stone, her quiet laugh.

  Why it works. Numbering the shots and describing each camera angle in order - wide, close-up, low angle - is what tells the model where one shot should end and the next begin, instead of leaving it to guess.

  Name the exact camera position to keep two faces in frame

  

  A small jazz bar after closing, chairs upturned on the tables, one warm lamp over an old upright piano. Seen from the end of the keyboard so both faces are clear: two men in their thirties, a couple, sit close together on the piano bench. One, in a loosened tie with his sleeves rolled up, plays a slow chord; the other, in an open-collar black shirt, rests his head on the pianist's shoulder with his eyes half closed. The pianist stops, turns to him and says softly, "One more song?" The other smiles without lifting his head: "Only if it's ours." One continuous slow push-in, 35mm, warm tungsten light. Sound: soft piano chords, their low voices, the hum of the empty room.

  Instead of “Two men on a piano bench, one playing, the other leaning on his shoulder.”

  Why it works. "Seen from the end of the keyboard" is a real camera instruction; without it the model can pick an angle where the second person is mostly hidden behind the first.

  Describe only what happens after the frame

  

  The rain gets heavier. The woman in the camel trench coat tilts the umbrella back and laughs; the other woman pulls her closer by the collar and they walk off together down the neon street, the camera following at their shoulders. Sound: heavy rain drumming on the clear umbrella, distant traffic, footsteps splashing, and one of them says, "Come on, we're going to miss the last train."

  Why it works. The opening frame already set the two women, the umbrella and the neon street, so the prompt only has to say what happens next - the heavier rain, the laugh, the walk away.

  This mode starts from your own image: add it in the playground before you run.

• Reference to video

  Give each reference photo one job

  

  Image 1 is the man, Image 2 is the dining carriage, Image 3 is the sealed letter. The man from Image 1, still in his camel overcoat, sits alone at a table in the train carriage from Image 2 at night. He breaks the red wax seal of the letter from Image 3, unfolds it and reads, and a slow smile spreads across his face while city lights streak past the rainy window. Slow push-in. Sound: the rhythmic clatter of the train, rain on the glass, paper unfolding, a soft exhale.

  Why it works. Naming what each numbered image is responsible for - the man, the carriage, the letter - is why all three carried through together instead of the model blending them into something new.

• Video editing

  Change one thing, leave the rest as it is

  

  Turn the season to deep winter: fresh snow on the cobblestones, the balconies, the rooftops and the yellow tram, snowflakes drifting through the air and cold blue morning light. Dress both riders in wool coats and knitted scarves. Keep the street, the bicycles, the riders' movement and the camera move exactly as they are.

  Why it works. Video-edit only changes what you name - here, the season and the wardrobe - and holds the framing, motion and pacing of the source clip as they are.

About Kling O3

Kling O3 (Kling 3.0 Omni) is Kling's do-everything video model on SpicyAPI, in four modes: text-to-video, image-to-video, reference-to-video and video-edit. Clips run 3 to 15 seconds (a video you edit can be up to 10), up to 4K, with optional native sound and automatic multi-shot cuts. Kling runs its own content review and we do not add a filter on top of it; Mild-level material sometimes clears and anything stronger is refused, with no charge for a rejected request. We bill per second of output in US dollars, with no subscription and no package to buy up front. You are responsible for having the rights and consent for anything you upload and for how you use what you generate.
