1. Overview
This README is a practical guide to planning short AI-video scenes with Soutine: choosing an input, writing an actionable prompt, and reviewing a generated clip. It supports creators developing product concepts, social videos, visual stories, and animated illustrations.
This is a README-only documentation repository. It contains no model weights, runnable inference code, hosted Hugging Face inference endpoint, or training dataset. Generation happens on the external Soutine website and is subject to that service's access requirements and terms.
Soutine is an independent platform. This guide is not official Kling documentation and does not claim affiliation with or endorsement by Kling's developer. “Kling 4” identifies the Soutine landing page discussed here; it does not identify a downloadable model supplied by this repository.
2. Availability and source boundaries
The Soutine landing page explicitly distinguishes its upcoming Kling 4 offering from the Kling 3.0 generator currently displayed. Check the model label and availability notice when you visit: website content, access, and controls can change after this review.
This guide reports Soutine's current page state. It does not establish Kling 4's official release status, architecture, release date, benchmark performance, or specifications. Claims and previews elsewhere on that page are not independently verified model evidence here.
Soutine also labels its showcased videos as sourced references rather than Soutine-generated results. They should not be treated as outputs reproduced by this repository. The original prompts below are hypothetical creative briefs; no generation runs or output evaluations were performed for this guide.
3. Current generator controls
At the time of review, the page offered these interface options for its current Kling 3.0 workflow:
- Inputs: Text to Video and Image to Video; the page describes a first-frame image and an optional last-frame image
- Aspect ratios: 16:9, 9:16, and 1:1
- Resolution labels: 720P, 1080P, and 4K
- Duration choices: 3, 5, 7, 9, 12, and 15 seconds
- Sound: An optional Audio switch
- Generation settings: Public and Watermark controls, plus a credit estimate beside Generate
These are observed interface choices, not verified output specifications or quality guarantees. This guide does not establish how resolution is produced, whether every combination is available to every account, or how reliably audio, motion, or visual continuity will match a brief.
Check the active settings, estimated credit cost, and any access restrictions before each submission. Review the Public setting before using confidential creative material. Use only inputs you have permission to upload and process.
4. Quick start: one scene, one clear action
- Open the current generator and read the availability notice. Confirm which model the interface says it will use.
- Choose text input for a new scene or image input when a starting composition already matters.
- Describe one main subject, one action, and one camera behavior. Keep the first attempt focused enough to judge.
- Choose a suitable aspect ratio and an available duration. Set resolution and audio deliberately rather than assuming defaults fit your destination.
- Review visibility, watermark, credit estimate, and service requirements. Sign in if required to generate.
- Submit only when those settings suit your project, then inspect the result before downloading or publishing it.
For a first test, a short shot with a stationary camera makes subject movement easier to evaluate. Record the prompt and selected settings so the next revision has a clear point of comparison. A longer clip can add room for action, but it also adds more frames to inspect.
5. A reusable prompt framework
Use this sequence as a writing aid rather than a model-specific syntax:
Subject + setting + action + camera + light/style + continuity priorities + optional sound.
Name concrete visual elements. “A red ceramic cup on a pale wooden table” gives a clearer target than “a beautiful product.” Describe what changes over time: steam rises, a curtain moves, or a character turns toward a window.
Keep camera instructions physically coherent. A locked-off close-up, a slow push-in, or a gentle sideways tracking shot is easier to assess than several competing moves. Specify the important starting view and the intended ending without packing an entire story into one short clip.
Add only a few continuity priorities, such as keeping the cup's shape stable or retaining the same jacket throughout. These are requests, not guarantees. If sound matters and audio is enabled, state the desired ambience or speech separately so you can evaluate it independently.
An editable template:
A [subject with distinguishing details] in [setting]. The subject [single action with direction and pace]. The camera [one movement or fixed viewpoint]. Use [lighting and visual treatment]. Keep [important visual details] consistent. If audio is enabled: [specific sound direction].
Avoid assuming that long adjective lists, repeated quality slogans, or contradictory instructions improve a result. For a revision, replace the unclear instruction rather than appending another competing requirement.
6. Eight original example prompts
These examples are untested writing starting points. Suggested formats are creative choices, not validated presets. Adapt them to the current generator's available controls.
A. Product reveal · 1:1
A matte blue reusable bottle stands on a limestone plinth against a warm gray studio background. A narrow band of light moves slowly across its surface while the bottle remains still. Use a gentle camera push-in from a medium view. Preserve the bottle silhouette and lid shape. No readable branding or added text.
Review: Does the object retain its proportions as reflections change?
B. Food detail · 16:9
Close view of a ripe peach resting on a dark ceramic plate beside a folded linen napkin. A single drop of water travels down the peach's skin. The camera stays fixed, with soft window light revealing the fine texture. Keep the plate and background stationary and the fruit intact.
Review: Is the small action readable without distracting background movement?
C. Character introduction · 9:16
An adult bicycle mechanic in a green work apron stands beside a neatly arranged tool wall. They glance up from a bicycle wheel and give a small, relaxed smile toward the camera. Frame from the waist up with a stationary camera and natural workshop light. Keep the face, apron, and tools consistent.
Review: Check facial detail, hands, and the wheel's structure throughout.
D. Travel atmosphere · 16:9
A quiet coastal footpath curves past low grasses toward a distant lighthouse at dawn. Wind gently moves the grasses while a small wave breaks below the cliff. The camera drifts slowly forward at walking height. Maintain the lighthouse's position on the horizon and use soft, cool morning colors.
Review: Does the landscape remain spatially coherent during the camera move?
E. Fashion movement · 9:16
An adult performer wearing a mustard coat stands in a simple cream-colored studio. They take two measured steps sideways, allowing the coat hem to swing naturally, then pause. The camera tracks gently at chest height. Use broad, soft illumination and preserve the coat's cut, color, and buttons.
Review: Watch fabric movement, foot contact, and clothing continuity.
F. Illustrated micro-story · 1:1
A small paper-cut fox waits beside a blue mailbox in a handmade woodland scene. A yellow leaf drifts down, and the fox tilts its head to follow it. Keep a fixed wide composition, visible paper texture, and warm autumn light. End with the leaf resting on the ground beside the mailbox.
Review: Does the shot maintain the same illustration treatment and clear story beat?
G. Interior mood · 16:9
A reading chair sits beside a tall window in a quiet room. Afternoon light falls across an open book on the chair, while the sheer curtain moves gently in a breeze. Use a slow sideways camera slide and restrained, natural colors. Keep the furniture layout unchanged. If audio is enabled, request subtle room ambience without speech.
Review: Check geometry and, separately, whether any audio supports the scene.
H. Image-led motion brief · 9:16
Starting from the supplied illustration of a lantern on a garden table, let its warm light brighten slightly while nearby leaves sway gently. Keep the lantern, table, and background arrangement consistent with the image. Use a stationary camera and restrained motion. Finish on a calm composition with the lantern clearly visible.
Review: Compare the generated frames with the authorized source image.
7. Image-to-video workflow
Start with an image that already expresses the composition you want. A clear subject, useful framing, and an uncluttered background make it easier to define what should move. Check that you hold appropriate rights and consent, especially for identifiable people or client assets.
Upload the image through Image to Video as the first frame, following the current interface's file requirements. Write mainly about movement and camera behavior rather than redescribing every visible detail. Identify what should stay stable as well as what should change.
If using an optional last frame, choose an ending that forms a plausible transition from the start. Similar subject placement and compatible geometry can simplify the creative brief. Endpoint guidance is not a promise of exact interpolation or perfect identity preservation.
Inspect the opening, middle, and ending of the result. Look for abrupt transitions, unintended object changes, and movement that drifts away from the source composition. If necessary, simplify the motion before replacing the source image.
8. Review and iterate
Evaluate each take against its purpose rather than general visual impressiveness:
- Action: Does the intended movement happen at a readable pace?
- Continuity: Do faces, hands, clothing, products, and background structures remain usable?
- Camera: Is framing stable enough for the destination format?
- Timing: Does the shot reach a clear ending without rushed extra events?
- Sound: If enabled, is the audio appropriate and synchronized where needed?
- Delivery: Are there unwanted text, logos, artifacts, or disclosure issues?
Change one meaningful variable per revision: action complexity, camera speed, framing, or lighting. Keep a short record of what improved and what did not. Check the credit estimate again before generating another variation.
Treat a selected clip as an asset requiring editorial review. Add precise typography, captions, and final sound design in an appropriate editing workflow when those elements need dependable control.
9. Frequently asked questions
Can I generate Kling 4 videos through this repository?
No. This repository provides documentation only. Soutine's reviewed page says its current generator uses Kling 3.0 and Kling 4.0 is coming soon.
Are there weights or a local installation command?
No weights, SDK, package, or executable inference implementation are included.
Are these prompts proven examples?
No. They are original, unexecuted briefs. No output samples or benchmark claims accompany them.
Does a 4K option prove native 4K generation?
No. An interface label alone does not establish the underlying generation or processing method.
Is generation free, and can outputs be used commercially?
Check Soutine's current pricing and applicable terms for your account and intended use. This README makes no promise about free access, output ownership, or commercial permissions.
