KLING AI Launches Custom Models for Training of Video Characters

KLING, the AI-powered video generator developed by Chinese tech company Kuaishou, has launched a new feature called Custom Models. This feature allows users to train their own unique video characters using real video footage rather than static images, which enhances character consistency and realism across scenes.

How the Custom Models Feature Works

With Custom Models, users can upload 10 to 30 video clips, each at least 10 seconds long, to train their character. KLING uses this footage to develop a consistent, lifelike character that can be animated across various scenes. Unlike traditional systems that rely on image-based training, KLING’s approach captures complex details from actual video footage, enabling smooth 360-degree rotations and intricate camera angles. Early testers have showcased impressive results on X, with videos demonstrating character continuity even in time-shifted close-ups and multi-angle shots.

A post on X by TechHalla describing their early access to KLING AI’s Custom Face Video Model. The post reads, "This is the most impressive tool I’ve tried in my 2 years working with generative AI. @Kling_ai gave me early access to their Custom Face Video Model, and yes, this is TEXT TO VIDEO." Below the text, a video preview shows a person talking on the phone in a cozy cabin setting. The caption mentions that a detailed tutorial with prompts will follow in the thread. The post has 85.1K views and notable engagement with replies, reposts, and likes.

Bringing Characters to Life with Consistency

Once a character is trained, users simply tag the character model in their prompts, then describe the desired scene. The system generates high-quality videos where the character appears consistently, regardless of the angle or setting, making it ideal for storytelling, brand characters, or even virtual influencers.

KLING 1.5: Enhanced Video Quality and New Formats

KLING’s latest version, KLING 1.5, supports 1080p HD video resolution and offers various aspect ratios, including landscape (16:9, 4:3), portrait (9:16, 3:4), and square (1:1). The platform provides multiple output formats to cater to diverse use cases, from social media posts to professional presentations.

Motion Brush: Precise Control Over Movement

Another standout feature of KLING is the Motion Brush, which enables users to define the movement of individual elements within a video. This allows for precise control over character and object motion, making the tool useful for complex scenes that require detailed animations.

New users can register with an email address and receive 66 free daily credits to explore KLING’s capabilities for video creation. Since its international launch in July 2023, KLING has attracted a global user base eager to leverage AI-driven video character generation.
