Video Summary
This video provides an honest review of the Kling 01 AI video editor, which the reviewer positions as a direct competitor to Runway Aleph. The overall verdict is that the tool is currently “half-baked,” producing poor quality with visible AI artifacts, making it unsuitable for commercial work, though acceptable for social media or hobbies [01:41].
The reviewer demonstrates Kling 01’s main functionalities:
- Elements: The ability to combine multiple uploaded images into a new composite video based on a text prompt [03:03].
- Transformation: Editing an existing video by using text prompts to add effects like rain or snow, change the camera angle (e.g., to a drone shot), or add new elements [06:46], [10:05].
- Video Reference: Generating a consistent “next scene” either before or after a reference video, which can be useful for filmmakers extending a shot [08:50].
The review highlights that Kling 01 often struggles with consistency, frequently distorting faces or failing to perform subject replacement correctly [05:53], [11:15]. The reviewer suggests that for complex scenes, a better workflow is to use a tool like Nano Banana Pro to create a high-quality composite image, animate it with an older tool like Kling 2.5, and then use Kling 01 only for simple transformations [06:18], [12:16]. Kling 01 is priced at around 15 cents per second of transformation [05:11].
