Kling 2.6

A frontier video generation model developed by Kling: combines professional-grade cinematic video with native audio capabilities and advanced camera control.

TL;DR

First-ever Kling video model with native audio generation, creating complete audio-visual experiences.

Creates synchronized voice, dialogue, sound effects, and ambient audio alongside video content. Best for product showcases, lifestyle vlogs, and any content requiring built-in narration or dialogue without separate audio production.

Strengths for marketers

• Native audio-visual synchronization: Generates perfectly matched dialogue, sound effects, and ambient sounds with video - eliminates need for separate audio production

• Image-to-audio-visual: Transform static product images into dynamic videos with synchronized voice and sound

• Superior prompt understanding: Accurately interprets complex creative briefs for coherent audio-visual output

Ideal use cases

• Product demonstrations with professional narration from static images

• E-commerce product videos with voice descriptions and ambient sound

• Social media content with built-in audio for Instagram, TikTok, YouTube

• News-style announcements or updates with broadcast-quality narration

• Music videos with synchronized singing or rap performances

• Short fake UGC content: lifestyle vlogs, testimonials, unboxing videos with natural dialogue

Weaknesses

• Limited to Chinese and English voice output (other languages auto-translate to English for voice, visuals remain accurate)

• Does not support separate start/end frames (single reference image only)

• 10-second maximum duration

• Video quality heavily dependent on input image resolution for image-to-video

How to use effectively

Principles

Kling 2.6 follows similar prompting principles as Kling 2.5, with adaptations required for sound and audio:

• For English speech: use lowercase for normal words, UPPERCASE for acronyms (NASA, CEO) or brand names you want emphasized

• Specify voice characteristics before dialogue: "[Young Caucasian male, sunny voice]" or "[African-American female host, cheerful voice]"

• Add ambient sound instructions: "Background: Soft beauty BGM playing" or "accompanied by the gentle sound of vacuuming"

• For music content, describe both the musical style and vocal delivery

Examples

Product showcases

In your prompt, describe both the product and the narrative:

"In a beauty live-streaming room, warm yellow lighting illuminates the table, with lipstick samples displayed on either side. [Caucasian beauty influencer] raises a matte dusty rose lipstick. [Caucasian beauty influencer, sweet and fresh voice] says: 'Perfect for yellow undertones! Brightens the complexion without drying, and the finish looks beautifully soft all day.' Background: Soft beauty BGM playing."

Lifestyle vlogs

Describe the complete scene including environment, character actions, and emotional tone. Specify camera style explicitly:

"The camera is in vlog close-up style" or "selfie perspective with natural hand movement." For dialogue, write exactly what should be said in quotes within your prompt - the model will generate natural delivery with appropriate pacing and emotion.

Multi-character dialogue

Structure your prompt to clearly distinguish speakers. Use character descriptions before each line of dialogue.

For Interview or conversation formats: "[Character 1 description] says: '[dialogue].' [Character 2 description] responds: '[dialogue].' The camera [movement description]."

The model handles turn-taking naturally when you provide clear speaker attribution.
