Kling AI Prompts Cheatsheet - Kling Video Camera Moves & Structure
Essential Kling AI (Kling) video prompt templates — camera moves, six-segment structure, API params. Copy a template, fill the variables, and ship.
Camera Moves 5
push-in / pull-outMove closer / pull away
pan (left-right) / tilt (up-down)Pan / tilt
dolly (fore-aft) / orbit (around subject)Dolly / orbit
crane (up-down) / tracking (follow)Crane / follow
static / handheldFixed / handheld shake
Camera Rules 5
one move per shot ruleOne camera move per shot, avoid chaos
Kling 3.0 multi-shot allows different moves per shotSpecify per shot
Put camera move in its own segmentSeparate from subject/action
Moderate move amplitude, avoid vertigoToo fast is uncomfortable
Static subject + slow push-in feels premiumCommon cinematic combo
Six-Segment Structure 5
[Subject]Clear subject (person/object/scene)
[action/motion]What the subject does
[camera movement]How the camera moves
[environment]Surrounding scene
[lighting] + [style]Lighting and style to finish
API Params 5
camera_control: { horizontal/vertical/pan/tilt/roll/zoom ∈ [-10,10] }Precise move amplitude
aspect_ratio: 16:9 / 9:16 / 1:1Landscape / portrait / square
duration: 5-15sClip length
model: kling-v2-6 / kling-v3Choose model version
negative_prompt to exclude unwanted elementsDenoise and debug
Subject & Motion 5
Be specific about the subject (age/outfit/material)More specific = more controllable
Write continuous verbs, avoid ambiguitye.g. "walks slowly to the window"
Add mood/state (pensive/cheerful)Boost expressiveness
Label relations for multiple subjects (A looks at B)Avoid confusion
Speed words (slowly/rapidly)Control pacing

Tips
- Kling prompts center on "six-segment structure + one-move-per-shot": camera move in its own segment, one motion per shot; use Kling 3.0 multi-shot to set different moves per shot.
- The API controls lenses precisely via camera_control horizontal/vertical/pan/tilt/roll/zoom (∈[-10,10]) — more reproducible than prose like "camera slowly pushes in".
- Portrait shorts use 9:16, product/landscape use 16:9; duration 5-15s; prefer kling-v3 (quality) or kling-v2-6 (speed).
- Video negatives target motion defects: distorted face / flicker / watermark are frequent fixes.
