Kling V4.0 Flash Video Edit

Kling V4.0 Flash Video Edit rewrites an existing video from a text instruction at 720p: it keeps the scene, subject and motion and changes what you describe. Flash is the fast, lower-cost tier of Kling 4.0: 720p clips of 3 to 20 seconds with synchronized audio, for quick iteration and volume work.

Why Choose This?

  • Instruction-based editing — Change a subject, the setting, the weather or the style in plain language.
  • Source-guided motion — The original action and camera movement carry through.
  • Reference images — Up to 10 images for a subject, object or style to bring in.
  • Audio control — New synchronized audio by default, or keep the original soundtrack.

Parameters

ParameterRequiredDescription
videoYesThe video to edit, 3 to 20 seconds; longer videos are trimmed to 20 seconds.
promptYesDescribe the edit. Refer to reference images as @Image1, @Image2, ... in array order.
imagesNoUp to 10 reference images.
keep_original_soundNoKeep the input video's own sound instead of generating new audio. Default false.
aspect_ratioNo16:9, 9:16, 1:1 or 21:9. Leave it out to follow the input video.

The output follows the input video's length.

Pricing

$0.126 per second of the input video (rounded up to whole seconds, at most 20 seconds). A 5 second video costs $0.63.

Kling v4.0 Flash Video Edit API — Quick start

Grab a WaveSpeedAI API key, then call POST https://api.wavespeed.ai/api/v3/kwaivgi/kling-v4.0-flash/video-edit with your input as JSON. The endpoint returns a prediction id. Start polling the result endpoint around every 2 seconds, increase the interval for long-running tasks, and stop on any terminal status. On completed, read output values from data.outputs. Examples for Kling v4.0 Flash Video Edit below.

Kling v4.0 Flash Video Edit API — Frequently asked questions

What is the Kling v4.0 Flash Video Edit API?

Kling v4.0 Flash Video Edit is a Kuaishou model for video editing, exposed as a REST API on WaveSpeedAI. Kling V4.0 Flash Video Edit transforms existing videos with natural-language instructions while preserving the original scene, subject, and motion, with optional reference-image guidance and synchronized audio for creative edits, marketing content, social videos, and production workflows. Ready-to-use REST inference API. You can call it programmatically or try it from the playground above.

How do I call the Kling v4.0 Flash Video Edit API?

POST your input parameters to the model's REST endpoint (shown in the API tab of this playground) with your WaveSpeedAI API key in the Authorization header. Submission returns a prediction ID. Poll the result endpoint starting around every 2 seconds, increase the interval for long-running tasks, and stop on any terminal status. The playground generates Python, JavaScript, and cURL examples for submitting requests and polling results. Full request/response shape is documented at https://wavespeed.ai/docs/docs-api/kwaivgi/kwaivgi-kling-v4.0-flash-video-edit.

How much does Kling v4.0 Flash Video Edit cost per run or per second?

Kling v4.0 Flash Video Edit starts at $0.126 per run or per second. That figure is the base price — the final charge scales with the parameters you set in the form (output size, length, count, references, or whatever knobs this model exposes), so a higher-quality or larger output costs more than a minimal one. The exact cost for your current input is shown live next to the Generate button before you submit, and the actual per-call charge is recorded on the prediction afterwards.

What inputs does Kling v4.0 Flash Video Edit accept?

Key inputs: `prompt`, `images`, `video`, `aspect_ratio`, `keep_original_sound`. The full JSON schema (types, defaults, allowed values) is rendered above the Generate button and mirrored in the API reference at https://wavespeed.ai/docs/docs-api/kwaivgi/kwaivgi-kling-v4.0-flash-video-edit.

How do I get started with the Kling v4.0 Flash Video Edit API?

Sign up for a free WaveSpeedAI account to claim starter credits, copy your API key from /accesskey, then call the endpoint shown in the API tab of the playground. The playground also auto-generates a code sample in Python, JavaScript, or cURL for the parameters you've set.

Can I use Kling v4.0 Flash Video Edit outputs commercially?

Commercial usage rights depend on the model's license, set by its provider (Kuaishou). Check the provider's applicable terms and WaveSpeedAI's Terms of Service before commercial use.
