Model pair: Kling AI and Step-Video-TI2V

The docs of Kling AI and Step-Video-TI2V part on 4 of the six camera points: framing, cuts, frames and motion amount. They read alike on camera moves and negative prompt. As of 2026-09-25.

1How the two differ

Kling AI reads “Several shots per clip” on cuts inside a clip, while Step-Video-TI2V's docs say nothing about cuts inside a clip. Kling AI reads “First and last frame” on start and end frames, while Step-Video-TI2V reads “First frame only” on start and end frames. Only Step-Video-TI2V documents a motion setting. Kling AI's docs use 10 of the site's camera words and Step-Video-TI2V's use 7, sharing pan, tilt, zoom and orbit or arc.
