Kling V4.0 Video Edit

Kling V4.0 Video Edit rewrites a video from a text instruction. It keeps the scene, the subject and the motion of your video and changes what you describe: swap a character, change the setting or the weather, restyle the look. The result is a clip of 3 to 30 seconds at 720p or 1080p, and the original sound is kept by default.

Why Choose This?

  • Edit by instruction Describe the change in plain language; everything you do not mention stays as it was.
  • Follows your footage The output keeps the source video's length and aspect ratio unless you choose otherwise, up to 30 seconds.
  • Original sound kept Your video's own sound is carried over by default; turn it off to generate new synchronized audio.
  • Reference images Add up to 10 images to bring a specific subject, object or style into the edit.

Pricing

Each counted second costs $0.094 at 720p and $0.141 at 1080p. The counted seconds are the output length plus the longer of the output length and the input video's length (3 to 30 seconds each).

When the output follows the input video, this is $0.188 per second of video at 720p and $0.282 at 1080p. For example, editing a 5 second clip at 720p costs $0.94.

Parameters

ParameterDescription
videoRequired. The video to edit. 3 to 30 seconds; longer videos are trimmed to 30 seconds.
promptRequired. The edit to apply. Refer to the video as @Video1 and to reference images as @Image1, @Image2 ... in array order.
imagesOptional reference images, up to 10.
keep_original_soundKeep the input video's own sound (default true). When false, new synchronized audio is generated.
resolution720p (default) or 1080p.
durationOutput length in seconds, 3 to 30. Follows the input video if not set.
aspect_ratio16:9, 9:16, 1:1 or 21:9. Follows the input video if not set.

Prompting Guide

  • Describe the change, not the whole scene: "replace the man with a silver robot, keep the room and the lighting".
  • Name what must stay: the camera move, the setting, the action.
  • With reference images, say what each one is for: "dress the character in the jacket from @Image1".
  • Use a clear source video with a visible subject; busy footage gives less predictable edits.

Kling v4.0 Video Edit API — Quick start

Grab a WaveSpeedAI API key, then call POST https://api.wavespeed.ai/api/v3/kwaivgi/kling-v4.0/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 Video Edit below.

Kling v4.0 Video Edit API — Frequently asked questions

What is the Kling v4.0 Video Edit API?

Kling v4.0 Video Edit is a Kuaishou model for video editing, exposed as a REST API on WaveSpeedAI. Kling V4.0 Video Edit rewrites a 3 to 30 second video from a text instruction: it keeps the scene, subject and motion and changes what you describe, with optional reference images, 720p and 1080p output and the original sound kept by default. Ready-to-use REST inference API, best performance, no coldstarts, affordable pricing. You can call it programmatically or try it from the playground above.

How do I call the Kling v4.0 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-video-edit.

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

Kling v4.0 Video Edit starts at $0.47 per run. 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 Video Edit accept?

Key inputs: `prompt`, `images`, `video`, `aspect_ratio`, `resolution`, `duration`. 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-video-edit.

How do I get started with the Kling v4.0 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 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.
