Kwaivgi Kling V4.0 Video Extend API Documentation
Playground
Try it on WaveSpeedAI!Kling V4.0 Video Extend continues a video from its last frame with a new 3 to 30 second segment guided by your prompt, at 720p or 1080p with synchronized stereo audio, and returns the original and the new segment joined. Ready-to-use REST inference API, best performance, no coldstarts, affordable pricing.
Features
Kling V4.0 Video Extend continues a video from its last frame. It generates a new segment of 3 to 30 seconds that follows your prompt, with synchronized stereo audio, and returns the original video and the new segment joined into one clip. Output is 720p or 1080p.
Why Choose This?
- Continue any video Pick up exactly where your clip ends, with the same subject, setting and style.
- Up to 30 seconds more Any length from 3 to 30 seconds for the new segment.
- Native audio The new segment comes with stereo sound generated together with the picture; your original audio is kept.
- Aim for an ending frame Add a last image and the new segment moves from the end of your video toward it.
Pricing
Only the new segment is charged, per second of the generated video:
| Resolution | Price per second |
|---|---|
| 720p | $0.157 |
| 1080p | $0.235 |
For example, adding a 5 second segment at 720p costs $0.785.
Parameters
| Parameter | Description |
|---|---|
| video | Required. The video to extend. The new segment is generated from its last frame and appended to the original. |
| prompt | Required. Describe the continuation: action, camera movement, lighting and sound. |
| duration | Length of the new segment in seconds, 3 to 30 (default 5). |
| resolution | 720p (default) or 1080p. |
| last_image | Optional target last-frame image. The new segment moves from the video’s last frame toward it. |
Prompting Guide
- Describe what happens next, not what is already on screen: “the camera slowly pushes in as he looks up”.
- Keep the continuation consistent with the end of your clip so the join feels natural.
- Match the length to the action: a short segment for one move, a longer one for a developing scene.
- Describe sound you want to hear (ambience, music, a line of dialogue) in the prompt.
