How to Write a Great Kling 3 Standard Prompt

Kling 3 Standard performs best with shot-based direction: clear framing, one action per shot, explicit motion, and (if audio is on) short dialogue plus minimal sound cues.

How Kling 3 Standard structures shots and references

Shot plan

Split the sequence into short scenes with one clear action per beat.

Image reference

Use a source image when product framing or subject identity matters.

End frame

Add a landing frame when the final composition needs control.

Audio pass

Use sound for review context or keep drafts silent for post-production.

Pro handoff

Move the best Standard drafts to Pro for the primary quality pass.

Quick prompt (fast iteration)

Use 1–2 sentences when you want variations.

[One subject] [one visible action] in [setting], [framing + one camera move], [lighting/style].
Audio (optional): [ambience + 1 SFX cue OR one short line].
Negative: no text, no logos, no subtitles/overlays.

Global principles

  • Think in shots, not clips: one action per shot is easier to execute cleanly.
  • Anchor your subjects early (and reuse the same wording) to reduce drift across shots.
  • Put framing + camera movement before style adjectives.
  • If audio is on: keep dialogue short and add only 1–2 sound cues.

Engine quirks / what to watch for

  • Multi-shot works best with 2–4 shots; keep each shot to one readable action.
  • Elements improve continuity: reference @Element1/@Element2 consistently across the prompt.
  • Voice IDs: reference voices in the prompt as <<<voice_1>>> and <<<voice_2>>> (max 2 voices).
  • Audio output supports English and Chinese; other languages may be auto-translated to English when audio is enabled.
  • End frame helps land transitions; avoid adding new actions in the final second.

Tips & Limitations

Kling 3 Standard is most predictable when you plan it like a storyboard: simple shots, consistent elements, and short dialogue.

What works best

  • 3–15s clips with 2–4 shots and clear timestamps/shot labels.
  • Use Elements for characters/props you want to keep stable.
  • For audio: one short line + ambience + 1 key SFX (keep it minimal).
  • Use an end frame when you need a clean landing or match cut.

Common problems → fast fixes

  • Drift across shots → repeat anchors + use @Element references; simplify each shot to one action.
  • Camera feels chaotic → one move per shot; avoid “dynamic” wording; specify “smooth track” or “tripod-stable”.
  • Dialogue/lip sync drifts → shorten lines; reduce fast head turns; keep the shot calmer.
  • Random text/logos → strengthen negative (“no text, no logos, no UI”) and keep signage out of frame.

Hard limits to keep in mind

  • Short-form only (up to 15s); stitch for longer narratives.
  • 1080p tier in this routing.
  • Voice IDs are limited (max 2) and audio language behavior depends on routing.
  • End frame is optional and works best when the final composition is clearly described.
