Kling AI beside Google Veo, point by point
The docs of Kling AI and Google Veo part on 3 of the six camera points: framing, cuts and negative prompt. They read alike on camera moves, frames and motion amount. As of 2026-09-25.
| Field | Kling AI | Google Veo |
|---|---|---|
| How a camera move is asked for | Words in the prompt | Words in the prompt |
| Shot sizes and angles in the docs | Shown in examples | Defined in a glossary |
| Cuts inside one generation | Several shots per clip | Editing terms only |
| Start and end frames | First and last frame | First and last frame |
| A negative prompt | None in the docs | A negative prompt field |
| A setting for how much the picture moves | None in the docs | None in the docs |
Inclusion rule. The six points every model on the register is read on. Order. The order the points take on every model page.
1How the two differ
Kling AI reads “Several shots per clip” on cuts inside a clip, while Google Veo reads “Editing terms only” on cuts inside a clip. Only Google Veo documents a negative prompt field. Kling AI's docs use 10 of the site's camera words and Google Veo's use 25, sharing pan, tilt, zoom and orbit or arc.

A negative prompt
Kling AI: the docs read do not cover this.
Negative prompts are a tool that helps specify the elements that you don't want generated in your video.

- Multi-shot examplesShot size and angle open each numbered shot in the guide's examples
- Camera angles and shot typesShot sizes and angles are defined one by one, from extreme close-up to wide, low-angle and dutch angle
- Multi-ShotA Multi-Shot switch plans transitions, framing and angle changes across shots in one video
- Cinematic termsEditing terms such as match cut, jump cut and montage can be named in the prompt
- Negative promptsNegative prompts list elements that should not appear in the video
3Kling AI, Google Veo and a third set of camera docs
| Camera point | SceneMixer | Source |
|---|---|---|
| Shot sizes and angles in the docs | Each numbered shot in a segment carries a framing change, written by the storyboard step | SceneMixer, AI storyboard generator page |
| Cuts inside one generation | A segment holds several numbered shots and its length is the sum of them | SceneMixer, AI storyboard generator page |
| A negative prompt | Negative wording is advised against: the guide says to describe what is there, because a named absence tends to be drawn | SceneMixer, say what is there guide |
Inclusion rule. Points where the two models above differ and SceneMixer's guides say something; points its guides leave open are not shown. Order. The order the points take on every model page.
