Kling 3.0 Turbo vs Seedance 2.0 Pro: limits and notes

Kling 3.0 Turbo

Text-to-video and image-to-video with synchronized native audio, up to 1080p. Workflow auto-detected: a prompt alone is text-to-video, adding a source image is image-to-video.

Prompting

  • There is no separate negative prompt. To steer away from unwanted elements, describe them in your prompt, for example: "a calm forest at dawn, avoid blurry motion, no on-screen text".

Multi-shot

  • Generate up to 6 sequential shots by formatting the prompt like this (shot durations must sum to the total duration):
shot 1, <seconds>, <description>; shot 2, <seconds>, <description>;

Input limits

  • Prompt up to 3,072 characters. Resolution 720p or 1080p. Duration 3 to 15 seconds. Aspect ratio 16:9, 9:16, or 1:1 for text-to-video (image-to-video follows the source image).
  • Image inputs: JPEG or PNG, at least 300px per side, aspect within 1:2.5 to 2.5:1, up to 50 MB.

Seedance 2.0 Pro

Multimodal video from text, images, audio, and video inputs. Native audio-video sync, strong motion stability, consistent character handling. Outputs up to 4K (3840x2160).

Tip

  • Pair with Seedream 5.0 Lite for the reference image first when targeting lifelike-face cohesion across multiple inputs.
  • Reference uploads that contain real human faces are rejected by the model. To use your own face, email support@empiriolabs.ai.

4K output

  • 4K outputs are native 10-bit H.265 (HEVC) for maximum quality, delivered in full on download and through the API. Browsers cannot decode 4K HEVC inline, so the playground plays a 1080p preview while Download gives the full 4K. Open 4K files in any HEVC-capable player or editor.

Uploaded media preprocessing

  • Video inputs are capped to 15 seconds for reference, edit, and extend workflows.
  • Uploaded video inputs are normalized to provider-compatible MP4 when needed.
