CNC: chip motion is Kling; the part still is Seedance
Split jobs.
Split jobs.
Kling Image O1 is an edit. Point at the object. A new text-to-image throws away the still you approved.
Kling O1 Image to Video is image-to-video. If the label is wrong, every second is waste.
Kling O3 Standard Reference to Video is reference-to-video. Upload the stills that must appear. Do not spend the whole budget because the slider goes that far.
Kling V2.1 is image-to-video. If the label is wrong, every second is waste.
Kling Video V2.6 Pro Text to Video has native audio. A silent prompt still gets a soundtrack you did not choose.
Kling Video V3 Standard Motion Control is image-to-video. If the label is wrong, every second is waste.
Kling plus burned-in specs. Do not let Veo invent numbers.
A driving video is the input. Text cannot replace it. If you do not have a performance, you do not have a motion-control job.
A paragraph will not time the bounce. Film a jump or skip motion control.
The unit of AI video generation is no longer one shot. A look at models cutting between angles mid-generation, and why the third cut is usually where it breaks.
A client's small tweak and a client's swap-the-look request aren't the same change order. A credit taxonomy for what each revision type actually costs.
Everything a new creator needs to know about text-to-video AI in 2026 — how the models work, which one to pick, prompt patterns that actually generate usable clips, and the pitfalls to avoid.
