Same experience. Videos take days to complete if they complete at all, no movement within the scene unless you count distortions and morphing. One scene that came out not too bad was spoiled by a random red cloth blowing through the scene.
As far as I'm aware Kling has actually fixed this issue, and especially makes sure to inform people now if they're experiencing any traffic issues that might have you wait for your videos longer than usual, although even then it's usually up to an hour or two (like when their 1.6 model came out and everyone was using it a lot, so they slowed down a bit) They also give out 300 something monthly credits to free users now, and trials of some pro features a limited amount of times each month. I don't know if it's a temporary change, and hope it isn't, but I've decided to take good advantage of it while I can and am finally working on a cinematic music video I've been wanting to make for a few months now... Regardless, it looks like they've decided to make their free plan at least somewhat bearable now, and that's good to know. 😄
I'm seeing exactly what you're describing, and all the improvements are welcomed! I made an update video recently explaining what you just summed up in this comment. 😁
Keep in mind that much of this Kling AI praise we see are nothing but bots. I have tried Kling as a free user on and off for about a month now, and at this point it's completely broken. Lately i've had atleast 20 attempts trying to generate image to video, and ALL of them has failed after 48+ hours. It would be better for Kling if they just removed the free generations all together, because this is not a good first impression for any new users who wants to test out what it can do.
The hype and praise I was talking about is other creators that seem to just gush over every new AI video generator and say it's a game changer, the (insert platform here) killer, and so on. I totally agree that if the issue is overwhelming hardware demand and that could be resolved but dropping free access or, better yet, make it a limited time free-trial, that would make a lot more sense to keep it working well for paid users.
Haha. Love your search query!! I don't really think it's fake - I do hear from people that aren't frustrated by Kling the way I was. I do think there's a problem - whether it's capacity or something else.
kling is useless without paid subscription. When you pay 10 bucks (watch out for anything else than one-month payment! everything else is 1-year commitment) your waiting time goes from days-weeks to
We should be cautious about Chinese products. I’m not certain about the origin of most AI-generated content, particularly if it comes from China or related countries (Hailuo too). One UA-camr attempted to cancel his subscription to a kling service, but he is still unable to do so, and they continue to charge his account.
4 days still 99%😢 was thing this issue only affected free users and was about to purchase subscription then stumbled upon this video. Saved some bucks.
Almost entirely made by AI. My friend Chuck Cusimano (Ace Taylor) wrote the lyrics and I generated the music using SUNO. I used Leonardo to create the still images, Kling for character motion and HeyGen for lip syncing. Edited with OpenShot free video editer. ua-cam.com/video/EJgfodSKsiU/v-deo.htmlsi=BOIUpZ-MUJ8rqr_9
I pay for Kling Ai and I haven't ever had a problem with it, The only thing I can think of is now more people are using it and it's just gotten slower I guess
Sounds unfortunate, I am a paid user and have been using it for a month. All my generations have taken just a few minutes to come out and are pretty good. Sometimes when I auto extend, it does not follow the prompts is the only issue I have.
@@santhmm Different as night and day. If you really want to get the best possible videos (right now) no other program is better. Like Nichol i never had to wait longer than a few minutes. But that doesn't mean every video is perfect. You might need a few attempts till you get the right result. Beside that there are a few things that you have to pay attention to, like the quality of the basic picture you use (dont waste your time with text to video), and of course you have to study the instuction manual from the manufacturer... You can find it online, look out for Kling AI Guide.
I'm really happy to hear that it's working well for some folks - that gives me hope. I totally understand throw-aways, that's the case with all generative AI and even the "real" videos I record. I wouldn't expect it to be perfect every time. I'd be happy if it just produced 'something' all the time and something usable most of the time. I'll give it another shot after a while and hopefully whatever bug I'm experiencing will have been corrected by then.
@Bittermandl - thanks for sharing this thorough answer with @santhmm It's good to hear other users are having a better time with Kling than I did and look forward to giving it another shot. I totally agree with not expecting every video to be perfect. No image generator, text generator, or other video generator is perfect every time (unless you've found one - please tell me about it!)
@@santhmm When I used it without a subscription, it still performed well, so I suspect if you are having problems now then it will not make any difference.
I'm in that exact same parallel universe. I have been unable to get Kling to make anything I can use yet. I have GREAT luck with LUMA Labs though. I've decided to revive Music Television with an ALL NEW MTV, and I use Ideogram to make the new logos and scenes and then I use a video generator to animate those logos, then I toss them into CapCut video editor and add the audio I want for each one. Comes out GREAT when I use LumaLabs but still haven't made one single usable one from Kling, so I'm kicking Kling to the Chinese curb.
Man that sounds awesome! I assume you mean the good MTV... Like it was in the beginning when it still had music, with the occasional music news from Kurt Loder? 😄
@@6ThaPsycho I assume you were asking @dalecorne3869 But, if you're asking me, No that's me talking to the camera IRL - not AI. If I was going to use an AI avatar, I'd make one that looked a lot better than I do. 😊😊
When I was a free user I tried the Pro Trial and the videos turned out great. I bought their Premier subscription and now all the upscaled images I generate into videos have some sort of pixel artifacts all over. I tried to resize them down thinking it was because the dimensions were too big but my vids are still getting the artifacts. I emailed their customer support and I'm waiting for advice. But all in all I will say that their Image to Video is quite good for simple or common prompts.
some of my generations give try again error after 3 days. I wonder if it stucks on the paid subscription too KLING is a waste of time and money I only managed to create 1 video after 5 days
@@ByRQNN maybe they changed it too bad. I work on my pc stable diffusion comfyUI with SD1.5 and animatediff, with some tries it can do very good videos, but for higher resolutions or video to video, more vram is demanded. I have gpu with only 8gb unfortunatelly.
I used klingai the last couple of weeks and it was working pretty well. Text to image and text to video generation was pretty quick. Image to video generation was always kinda slow. When I started, it took a few hours, later it almost took a whole day. As of late, the last couple of days image to video generation doesn't seem to get anywhere and just fails processing. When that happens one gets the credits used for the previous attempt back to try again or spend them otherwise, it used to work before though. But something leads to the process to take more and more time now until it fails. An influx of new users perhaps? Weird that the free credits stay the same if the service can't keep up with command. But now, that generations take longer than a day and might end up in failure, there is no point in queueing up even more generations. I guess I'll have to wait until my previous ones finish, if they finish at all.
Interesting. It could be, as you suggested, an increase in new users or an increase in demand. If so, I hope that levels off or Kling is able to match the resources to meet the need and things get better again.
@@excelerator I believe this is the most likely case. The interesting (or worrying) thing is, that they pretty much do the opposite right now. When processing fails and you get the 10 credits back to either try again or do another video (or images) with them you can totally do retry to generate the videos. But most often, the failed attempt stays in your backlog and eventually finishes on its own after a few days. So whenever a video fails you just get more free credits, while the process still seems to be going on in the background anyway. I assume this is a mistake or error on kling ai's part. But it also clogs up the backlog more and more. If every user takes advantage of this, then this would explain why image to video generation gets slower and slower (at least for free users like me) and in turn generates more and more credits each time the generations fail.
@@excelerator There's been yet another change for the last few days. Some failed videos still might finish up on their own, but when queued again, the failed attempt gets removed from the timeline. Now the question is to leave them there, let the additional tokens elapse and hope for the best, or using them to re-queueing the failed attempts which will remove the failed attempts from the timeline, but might result in yet another failed attempts, therefore going nowhere. I certainly miss the time where I could get at least six five-second-videos per day, instead of having to gamble with additional, free credits for a few videos that may or may not finish the next couple of days. But as far as I have read online, these issues seem to only be troubling free accounts like mine, paid accounts seem to be unaffected.
I'm still using the free version .. so far so good for me.. if i put the correct prompt, it always came with great result as i expected. but yeah, i only use it for 5-10 sec videos for may content. For subscription, i thing I'll wait for more good news from others. Mean while i'm gonna try Luma as well.
I'm 7 hours waiting for my first image to video generation, and seeing that trying it out can take days, I'm done with this app. I was willing to subscribe but definitely wanted to try it out first.
7 hours is a long time! What I've noticed recently is that the generation time on the free plan can vary widely... sometimes it's 20 minutes, other times I've had it say "more than 3 hours." On the paid account, I'm usually getting 5s videos in professional mode in 5 minutes or less and 10s videos in professional mode in 10 minutes or less. I totally understand your reluctance to subscribe when the test-drive is not a good experience. That's where I was coming from when I posted this video.
I'm getting awesome results in the text-to-video section. (Kling 1.5 / Professional Mode). You selected the Standard Mode (maybe Kling 1.0), of course you're gonna get problematic results. As for the delayed video generation, I assume it's due to technical issues between China and the USA. I use it from Iran and the results come out fast.
I think I know what's going on as far as the generation goes. I might be wrong but just trying it out, the first one produced the video pretty quick. Unfortunately there was zero movements! So I tried again. This time I didn't give it an ending image, and it stuck on 99%. So I think they're doing what Luna did. Your first try comes out really fast, after that you wait and wait. I've actually waited up to 2 days on there.
i have a standard account at Kling, the video's i make take usual between 1 or 2 minutes and yes i have more throw away video's that i have with luma, but kling is cheaper so that makes it allright i guess, but it is like with all those apps a hit and miss operation ,also the sensorship in kling is more unforgivable than luma's so i switch between apps and after a while you begin to know wat app is better in something than another we have to be patient till technology get's better it is still early days and i guess that is the price we have to pay for being an early adopter,we surely going to have better tools in the nearby future ....
I'm glad to hear you're getting something out of Kling. I look forward to trying it again and hoping whatever kinks I'm encountering are worked out. You're absolutely right about expecting some throwaways and getting a feel for which platforms work best in certain situations.
It is true that the free videos take forever. However, if you actually join and officially sign up for $10 or so it will consistently kick something out in under ten minutes. Also, go with the 35 point professional render. As with all AI animation sites, it will spit out clunkers. My experience have been it kicks out a usable scene at a much better ratio than all the other sites I have tried. The cost is reasonable.
The only thing I can find in their terms is that 'members' commercial use is not restricted. It doesn't mention free users specifically, at least not that I can find.
I paid $32 per month and every video I make takes no longer than 7 minutes every-time. If you don’t pay, yes you have to wait forever to generate any image!
i am on standard plan and can confirm that it's faster... they are usually done within 5 minutes but most of the time i am not happy with the results and have to try again
Awesome! It's really weird to hear from some who have no issues and others that get zero output. I'm truly happy for those of you that are getting results.
Wow, so many people having problems with this platform. I am glad that so far mine is working very good and images are excellent even the videos. Using them for my Facebook page and some for my teachings on the gospel on UA-cam. So far so good, hope it stays that way.
I have been using Kling AI for a month, both free and paid: in the paid I have never encountered these problems. In the free you can actually find the problems complained about by everyone. In my opinion, it depends a lot on the time slots because they have received a lot of visibility, they have had a big load of requests. In Kling AI, the problem is not the waiting, but having to carefully study the right language to use for the best result. Another important thing is that between ‘Standard Mode’ and ‘Professional Mode’ it's like night and day to get the correct value of what you type in the ‘Prompt’. In addition, with the correct positioning between ‘Creativity’ and ‘Relevance’, good results can be achieved.
I bought pro subscription, it worked great for 3 days, NOW, for the last four days it does nothing (failed to complete task, please try again later) Keep trying, same shit, same message. I have now cancelled subscription, but will need to cancel account with my bank as I do not trust this. A real shame as it was working fantastic for three days, before shitting its self. Also Kling will not reply to your emails. Watch out people, this could be a complete Chinese, SCAM, but it was great for three days.
I've been using Kling for the past month, both free and paid, and have never experienced these problems. The only difference I've noticed is that over the past week, generations have been slower, but no where near what you describe. I've gone from about 30-60 seconds per video to maybe 2-4 minutes. I'm sorry to see so many people are having issues because I think Kling is a real contender in this space! My first theory was that it was the uptick in popularity that has overwhelmed the system, but now I'm wondering if it's a location issue. Anyway, always appreciate your candid reviews. Thank you!
FYI Im pretty sure this is a Chinese business so keep that in mind. I had the exact same issue. The rate Ai is moving it won’t be long till open source free generative tools will be out
How disappointing! I was really looking forward to trying it. I had my suspicion when it started taking agesto just creating a sign-in account. I did my research and stumbled upon your video. I stopped waiting for Kling AI to have me as a member. Next.
I just tried KLING for the first time and I see the same issues. So I searched the issues and found you which verifies that this is a really bad issue to say the least.
Same. I have had the same issues. I have waited days and nothing... the few videos I have gotten took about 48 hours and the motion was terrible. I am so happy to hear its not just me. I have watched so many videos on how good Kling is and its literally not true at all. I would not waste my money on this AI. Pika is much better lol and Pika has a lot of issues.
Yeah, I was thinking that I must be missing something because all the videos I saw about it had it working smoothly and making decent videos (not always perfect, but a good hit/miss ratio)
After doing a few successful img to videos on the free version (and yes it took over a day) I got the paid version, and since then I'm having a heck of a time getting any movement at all in my img to videos. It usually comes out as a static image which just some slight panning in random direction.. but hey at least I only have to wait about 5 mins for something I will never use!
Thanks for this video. I thought I was crazy. I see all these videos saying Kling is the best video generator. I have a paid account and I have not got a good video yet. Crazy morphing, too many fingers, not following the prompts, different faces from photos, or just bad videos.
I've popped back in a few times since making this video. Sometimes I'll get a vid in 5-10 minutes, other times it seems to be traveling through the Bermuda Triangle. 🤣
The weird thing is it goes up to 98% ok… then gets stuck at 99%. I. Using an iPad and it’s got pretty hot. I’m worried about leaving it on for a long time. If I turn off the iPad and log back in on my computer will it still be there working away? I don’t know.
You might have heard me say in other videos - I don't speak Mac 😁 But, I can say that I've gone back to Kling AI after leaving the site, closing the browser, shutting down my computer, or on a different computer altogether and whatever I had started is there - maybe still processing, maybe finished, or maybe failed.
WOW! Reminds me of a time I called HP about my brand new printer not working and them telling me that model wasn't very good and they would sell me a more expensive one that would work. 🤷🏽♂️
Kling's financial model is total garbage for how inconsistent it is. Like Midjourney, you might need to do it 12 times to get what you want, however, because of the credit system it's completely unaffordable.
I currently use leonardo ai..image generation is good nut video could be better so researching on a reolacement. Overall kling seems to have negative experience among people but some have positive. Only 1 way to find out
I absolutely agree, and their costs are crazy. Also, not much customer service. The generator is absolutely horrible. Any UA-camr promoting this immediately loses credibility from me. I wasted money on Kling even testing it.
@maxwell-cole I just did an updated review video, based on improvements in what I'm experiencing with Kling (on a free account and paid) ... I'm not pushing Kling, but thought I should be fair since they do seem to have made some positive changes. But, as the comments on this video show, there's a wide variety of good to bad experiences with Kling, and wide-ranging opinions too. And that's Ok.
This sums it up pretty well - Kling AI is ONLY good for trying out some different things FOR FUN and seeing what it does. Of course it very well may do nothing. While the image generator usually is fairly quick, the video generation is a hot mess. I've waited 48 hours for a video to "finish" only to have it finally fail. In fact, of my last 14 videos, 9 of them failed after 24 hours. And you do not get your credits back. Given the poor performance of this software I would say that even for free it is nothing more than a toy. And DO NOT pay for anything (upgrading or credits) it will not be money well spent.
Interesting. it has refunded my credits for failed generations, and in a way that they don't expire that day - which is decent. I'm getting mixed reports with some folks saying paid works much better than free, and others saying they had the same problems as paid users. I do feel like they'd be better off not having a free version than having a free version that fails to generate much of the time.
Hahaha! I had the same problem. You have to change your workflow. The videos you need on Friday you need to enter on the Monday before ..... hahaha! I have a majorette and baton trying to twirl for 5 days now.
Ahhh, change the workflow to kick off the generation with 5 days lead time. Why didn't I think of it that way. 😁 Sounds like you teach someone how to twirl a baton in less time than it's taking to get the video. 🤣🤣
Just one thing, I decided to try the premium version to test it out and yes they do finish faster BUT the results most of the time are not good.. i tried image to video but it only generated a photo there was no movement it was only like I was watching a slideshow . I think its just not worth it, you might have better results with vidu and runway....
That's interesting. I have a free account and it successfully generates image to video, albeit it takes days to generate, a very long coffee break. This is the reason why I don't get a paid plan, I'm okay to wait hours on a free plan, but no way I'd be willing to wait more than 2 hours with a paid account.
Exactly. I can't complain about something I'm not paying for. But I will make some noise about the overwhelming hype that seems to surround every new toy!!
You have this Kling confused with Kuaishou AI !! Kuaishou AI is the absolute most advanced AI software to date. It only available if you have a Chinese phone number…..
Yes unfortunately I am having the same problem still on 99% and waiting. I tried to create infographics with the image generator and it was truly terrible. Nonetheless, I will try the cheap pro version and see how that goes.
That's because (i think) Kling is trying to force free users to pay for pro and the rest, because i opened two accounts with different emails, one paid and the other free, the free was a very bad experience while the paid was quite good. If not that then they have a server problem and they need more computer power and training
It is awesome... it is truly, really impressive - even just the free 5 seconds I've used. However, in 3 months of me using it since I found it.. I've generated a total of 10 videos. 4 failed after 3 days of waiting and of those 10 - half are literally mind-blowing superb, the rest are AI nonsense that didn't do what I asked of it at all and are unusable. Although, in this world of instant gratification. I've quite enjoyed making a request and then waiting aa few days for my result. It's added some excitement to my otherwise doom-scroll insta dopamine non-attentio.. what was I saying?
I'm a paid member. I have had no bad experiences with Kling. The videos take no more than 20 min. to finish and they come out the way I want/expect 99 percent of the time. One thing I'm noticing at the beginning of this video is the prompt this man is using. It's an awful prompt. It's too general. You've given Kling nothing to work with. The more defined you get with your prompt, the more you'll get out of it. You need to get way more detailed. As far as using image to video, it's the same thing. I've never had to wait too long. With most sites you don't get all the features until you become a paid member. That's common. Plus, most sites don't work as fast until you become a paid member. I guess it's where you get your info from and who's opinion you're taking. Most of the reviews from reddit, yt, and x say that it works and works well. But, like most things, you just have to do the research and find out for yourself. Good video. (no sarcasm)
Thanks for sharing your experience and observations. And I appreciate the feedback on my prompts, too. Indeed there are many people who speak very highly of Kling and I hope it didn't appear that I was trying to pretend that wasn't the case. My take on it was that I heard nothing but wonderful things and my experience was starkly different, which led me to look deeper and find others reporting results that weren't so great. Since posting this video, there's been a lot of feedback in the comments here, both positive and negative, and I really pay attention to the suggestions from folks who are getting good results.
I agree this Kilng is rubbish. I have put major details to describe certain things and at times the videos come out cartoonish or doesn't match the people in each screen although I give it the sane description. I canaled my subscription.
Yeah, Kling didn't even like my first gmail, but eventually accepted one of my backup addresses. BUT that was 2 days ago, and it's still working on the first job I gave it. BIG FAIL
The 1.5 release looks interesting. And, the addition of motion brushes looks interesting too. I'm willing to pay IF it means my generations will actually complete most of the time and the results will be better than what I'm getting with free. But I understand and agree that when you try something out and it doesn't work, it doesn't exactly inspire you to want to buy it.
For the record, I have no official ties with Kling AI. But I’m an early adopter that managed to subscribe to the standard plan at a discounted rate. People experiencing most of the reported issues are on free plans. My videos are being generated very quickly and I can easily produce high-quality text-to-video/image-to-video content, because I’m on a paid plan. Other AI tools, such as Luma and RunwayML are far more expensive than Kling AI. And it takes longer for them to generate content. If you want to produce the highest-quality video content very quickly, then you’re going to need to pay for it. It’s disappointing to see you claim that Kling AI is “awful”, despite flatly-refusing to pay for it or test all its capabilities. Your derogatory claim is due to a knowledge gap on your part, due to exclusively testing Kling via the free plan, which you did not concede in your video.
"Kling AI is awful" is my opinion, not a factual claim. I was clear in the video that I was attempting to use it on the free plan. You mentioned several times in your comment that I was using the free plan, so obviously I made that distinction. If I go to test drive a specific make and model of car, and the first one shakes, jolts, and coughs it's way to the street, the second one doesn't even start, the third one doesn't even start, and then a fourth one moves unimpressively to the end of the block and back, I'm not buying that make and model of car. Not even if the salesperson tells me that my poor experience is based on a "knowledge gap" that would vanish if I just paid for the car. I certainly wouldn't feel any more confident being told that "most of the reported issues" are from people taking test drives. I'm glad Kling AI is working for you. And I appreciate you sharing that experience. I don't appreciate inaccurate assertions about what was or wasn't 'conceded' in my video, and I don't appreciate the condescending demeanor.
@@excelerator I am more than willing to apologise for my alleged “condescending demeanour” if you can quote my words (verbatim) that aren’t factually-accurate. And I'm being sincere when I say that - I will say I'm sorry if anything I wrote upset you. You’re welcome to your opinion, but it seems excessively harsh, bordering on click-bait. Publishing a thirteen-minute video branding Kling AI as being “awful” without thoroughly testing all its capabilities doesn’t seem appropriate, especially considering it’s in beta and the issue only affects users on the free plan. Kling have acknowledged the existence of the “issue” (caused by high-traffic), and it’s normal for new tools to face teething problems. I've faced issues with every AI video-generation tool I've used (RunwayML, Luma, Kaiber, Krea, PixVerse, Salt AI, Morph, Viggle, LensGO, Domo, Pika etc.)... and I didn't completely dismiss them as being "awful".
Let me back up to something I think we agree on, which is what you said "if you want to produce the highest-quality video content very quickly, then you're going to need to pay for it." No argument from me on that. For tech development, and similar things, the options are usually that you can have it fast/good/cheap - but you can only pick two of the three. I also agree that perfection is not to be expected from ANY of the generative AI tools or platforms and issues are likely. I've experimented with many of those you listed. The difference is that Kling is the only one I've encountered that failed to produce an output more often than not (in my experience.) The main point where I take issue is with your assertion that I did not disclose my testing was using free access: "due to exclusively testing Kling via the free plan, which you did not concede in your video." I absolutely did make that point several times in the video. The condescending demeanor I'm referring to is not about a single statement of fact but the tone I perceived in the overall message. Perhaps that was not the intent with which it was written and an error in perception on my part. Maybe my title choices are too harsh. I didn't have a title in mind when I set out to try Kling. After recording and while editing, I was scratching my head about how to title the video. Ultimately, I decided to put it the way I would if I was talking to a friend who heard about it and asked my opinion. I do not like clickbait (at all) and I frequently avoid titles that would certainly get more views for my little channel and opt instead for the less flashy, more accurate titles. In this video, and all of the others I make, I do my best to be fair, honest, and show as much as I can without boring people into a coma. My initial plan was to record what I was doing as I was doing it. But, i wasn't about to sit here with the camera watching me watch the screen for hours on end. Given how long it was taking to get a generation, when it actually generated, I wasn't going to spend additional days trying to get more features included in the video. Kling doesn't have to offer free access. That, in my opinion, would be better. I believe it's Runway that will pop up a message when demand is high and let you know that free generations are temporarily suspended. That's fine too. Or, even a little notice on the free generation that sets expectations appropriately, like 'free generations may take several days to process and have a higher likelihood of not completing. - demand is high and we prioritize resources for our customers." That would be more than fair. However, it's not clear to me that these issues are limited to free users. I've heard from several paid users who have similar complaints. Granted, it seems like fewer paid users having these problems than free users. Lastly, if you take a look at the other comments here, and my replies, I think you'll find that I'm not being a hater. I'm glad some folks are having good results and I don't doubt them (or you) on that fact. It gives me hope. I've said to several here (and in the video) that I look forward to trying it again sometime. I genuinely hope we've found at least some common ground here. And, I apologize if I was too snappy in my response. I do appreciate your experience, input, and debate!
I totally agree with you, many people talk about Kiling not working properly, but they only have the free version which they expect to get for something they haven't paid for.
You seem to be having troubles I've never experienced. All of the image to video in my channel are done using Kling. I can't say I've had very many problems - and it's the best generator out there. Currently I'm reviewing real physics in AI video generators and Kling has the top score.
I waited two days for a flying snake image I had to animate, then error occurred and I have waited another two days, and still nothing, the servers are definitely full to the point that it’ll take this long, I hope it will be fixed soon
I wondered if it was a capacity issue. Some platforms have different times of day that are better than others. That's not what I found with Kling... But, I didn't try it again after a day or so.
Thanks for the video. I was scratching me head too wondering what everyone was raving about and I have tried many video making programs. Kling sucks bigh time.
I had the same problem. Before the video was finished, I didn't need it anymore. For days it remained at 99%. And when it was done, it looked terrible. I don't dare to subscribe to Kling Ai.
just buy a 10$ subscription and suddenly it will be minutes and not days. I don't know how free version can work if you get 30 sec vid generation for free per day, but paid account gives you only 300 sec extra for entire month. This is stupid pricing and exactly the reason why free accounts will not work. If free account was working, you could create 5 accounts and have 100% free video generation at will. And yes. Kling is the best vid generator and it works like best image generator midjourney - only when you pay. Maybe Kling will do what midjourney have done - scrap free accounts.
It's a professional tool that is meant to be paid for. Using free AI video generator tools is not the way to get good results, generally speaking. You clearly have to pay to get fast generations, Einstein.
99% for two days only to say it has failed to generate. If I click the upper right it’s happy to tell me I will loose 66 credits in 24 hrs. ( while at the same time it isn’t working at all) I have lots of credits that I paid for that I can’t use. I think we’ll eventually realize these are nothing more than video slot machines you might half way win sometimes but for my money I’d much rather have less movement that was 100% accurate than to constantly take chances and spending money on these generators.
Less movement, but accurate, is a reasonable request. We can critique all the details in an AI video generator output but, to me, the bottom line is: is it usable? I like the video slot machine analogy. Everything with generative AI seems to be that way to some degree. But with videos that take a relatively large number of "credits" it's a bit more of risk.
@@excelerator I should say for anyone that is following this thread that I did the one month upgrade for $10.00 (as a risky test) and it began working again immediately. So I guess after your one month is up it stops working (even if you have unused credits) at least in my experience. As for the movement, yeah it’s still a crapshoot 🤷♂️😂
Basically everyone is doing the 50 free account Hack so now to discourage that ... pretty much all services are allowing paid users to get fast renders and everyone else get 1 day renders. I have a paid account... every generation is not AMAZING but I don't wait longer than a couple of minutes with Professional MODE with Image to video... the TEXT to Video for MIni MAX might be better and the TIME difference is amazing... I think 2025 will be insane... I think there is a TON of new tools that already exist but for safety reasons they aren't being released... but I would bet that by 2025 people will just view all this stuff as AI Special Effects and it will be just a matter of updates, versions, machine power and prices.
I'm cool with free being slower... But a day or days compared to minutes is rather drastic. There's been a lot of progress in the last year and I agree, next year should be even better!
DO NOT BUY IT, THEY DON'T REFUND THE PAYMENT. AFTER 15 MINUTES OF TRYING IT OUT I DECIDED IT WAS TRASH AND NEVER GOT A REPLY FROM THE CUSTOMER SERVICE PEOPLE.
It has to do a verification before username/pass confirmation--otherwise they could get hammered with a DDS attack. Welcome to the new world; there's one of those on most Web sites now. As for your first prompt, the system doesn't know what "moving about" means. Also, "rush hour" implies "busy" so you only need one and "time-lapse" gets a hyphen. Your better prompt would be, "time-lapse cityscape rush-hour intersection with vehicles and pedestrians". As for your second prompt, you made a classic mistake. You described the image you gave it instead of what the LLMs should do to that image. It already knows it's a "chihuahua" on a sofa, so you need to say something like, "dog barks" or "vehicle drives across lawn". Your negative prompts "low quality" (should have a hyphen) and "computer generated" (should also have a hyphen) are meaningless. It is a computer generated image. You're using AI. And there is no "low-quality" images in the system; it's applying video sampling data that has no quality. At 6:24, you are asking for a MASSIVE amount of movement in five seconds. That is unrealistic. You have to get out of those trees AND change elevation to match the end shot. Think smaller. Finally, video...takes...time. Days. If you want to see what it can do, type "Kling output" into UA-cam or wherever and have a look.
This is the most useful comment I think I've ever seen. Thank you!!! You didn't call me dumb or cheap, you gave me guidance without any BS, and I appreciate that! I will definitely try to put your advice to work. I'm honestly not super confident that hyphens will make all the difference, but I can't say they won't, so I'm willing to give it a shot, along with your other suggestions. Again, this is great... Thanks!
Same experience. Videos take days to complete if they complete at all, no movement within the scene unless you count distortions and morphing. One scene that came out not too bad was spoiled by a random red cloth blowing through the scene.
Who DOESN'T want a random red cloth blowing across the scene? 😁😋😐
Freeloaders wait for weeks for their vids. Those who pay wait 5 minutes.
As far as I'm aware Kling has actually fixed this issue, and especially makes sure to inform people now if they're experiencing any traffic issues that might have you wait for your videos longer than usual, although even then it's usually up to an hour or two (like when their 1.6 model came out and everyone was using it a lot, so they slowed down a bit)
They also give out 300 something monthly credits to free users now, and trials of some pro features a limited amount of times each month. I don't know if it's a temporary change, and hope it isn't, but I've decided to take good advantage of it while I can and am finally working on a cinematic music video I've been wanting to make for a few months now... Regardless, it looks like they've decided to make their free plan at least somewhat bearable now, and that's good to know. 😄
I'm seeing exactly what you're describing, and all the improvements are welcomed! I made an update video recently explaining what you just summed up in this comment. 😁
Keep in mind that much of this Kling AI praise we see are nothing but bots. I have tried Kling as a free user on and off for about a month now, and at this point it's completely broken.
Lately i've had atleast 20 attempts trying to generate image to video, and ALL of them has failed after 48+ hours. It would be better for Kling if they just removed the free generations all together, because this is not a good first impression for any new users who wants to test out what it can do.
Well, I'm not a bot. It's excellent - and I'm not easy to satisfy with AI.
The hype and praise I was talking about is other creators that seem to just gush over every new AI video generator and say it's a game changer, the (insert platform here) killer, and so on. I totally agree that if the issue is overwhelming hardware demand and that could be resolved but dropping free access or, better yet, make it a limited time free-trial, that would make a lot more sense to keep it working well for paid users.
@cbnewham5633 That's exactly what a bot would say. 🤣😂😊 (just kidding)
@@excelerator😀 bots don't usually have their own UA-cam channel with recent vids - touche! 😄
@@exceleratorI agree - I never like videos with the strap line "This changes everything" which is common for over-hyped reviews.
I'm having this exact experience. Literally found this video by entering "Kling AI fake" into the Google search prompt.
Haha. Love your search query!! I don't really think it's fake - I do hear from people that aren't frustrated by Kling the way I was. I do think there's a problem - whether it's capacity or something else.
Yea... Kling is FAKE NEWS. lol
Free Kling no longer works and will keep you at 99%.
It's not fake bruh
kling is useless without paid subscription. When you pay 10 bucks (watch out for anything else than one-month payment! everything else is 1-year commitment) your waiting time goes from days-weeks to
We should be cautious about Chinese products. I’m not certain about the origin of most AI-generated content, particularly if it comes from China or related countries (Hailuo too). One UA-camr attempted to cancel his subscription to a kling service, but he is still unable to do so, and they continue to charge his account.
Not being able to cancel is a problem!
Anti-China paranoia conspiracy theories, the crap that US mainstream media brainwashes you to believe
4 days still 99%😢 was thing this issue only affected free users and was about to purchase subscription then stumbled upon this video. Saved some bucks.
Almost entirely made by AI. My friend Chuck Cusimano (Ace Taylor) wrote the lyrics and I generated the music using SUNO. I used Leonardo to create the still images, Kling for character motion and HeyGen for lip syncing. Edited with OpenShot free video editer. ua-cam.com/video/EJgfodSKsiU/v-deo.htmlsi=BOIUpZ-MUJ8rqr_9
It's really cool seeing the way folks combine multiple tools to bring a vision to life. Especially when so many of these tools are very new.
I pay for Kling Ai and I haven't ever had a problem with it, The only thing I can think of is now more people are using it and it's just gotten slower I guess
I’ve read this for months and from all paying users. “Just slow atm, many use it” 🤣
Sounds unfortunate, I am a paid user and have been using it for a month. All my generations have taken just a few minutes to come out and are pretty good. Sometimes when I auto extend, it does not follow the prompts is the only issue I have.
hey mate, do you recommend subscribing to a plan? As a free user it takes forever stuck in 99% but I dunno if paying it'll be stuck too
@@santhmm Different as night and day. If you really want to get the best possible videos (right now) no other program is better. Like Nichol i never had to wait longer than a few minutes. But that doesn't mean every video is perfect. You might need a few attempts till you get the right result. Beside that there are a few things that you have to pay attention to, like the quality of the basic picture you use (dont waste your time with text to video), and of course you have to study the instuction manual from the manufacturer... You can find it online, look out for Kling AI Guide.
I'm really happy to hear that it's working well for some folks - that gives me hope. I totally understand throw-aways, that's the case with all generative AI and even the "real" videos I record. I wouldn't expect it to be perfect every time. I'd be happy if it just produced 'something' all the time and something usable most of the time. I'll give it another shot after a while and hopefully whatever bug I'm experiencing will have been corrected by then.
@Bittermandl - thanks for sharing this thorough answer with @santhmm It's good to hear other users are having a better time with Kling than I did and look forward to giving it another shot. I totally agree with not expecting every video to be perfect. No image generator, text generator, or other video generator is perfect every time (unless you've found one - please tell me about it!)
@@santhmm When I used it without a subscription, it still performed well, so I suspect if you are having problems now then it will not make any difference.
I'm in that exact same parallel universe. I have been unable to get Kling to make anything I can use yet. I have GREAT luck with LUMA Labs though. I've decided to revive Music Television with an ALL NEW MTV, and I use Ideogram to make the new logos and scenes and then I use a video generator to animate those logos, then I toss them into CapCut video editor and add the audio I want for each one. Comes out GREAT when I use LumaLabs but still haven't made one single usable one from Kling, so I'm kicking Kling to the Chinese curb.
Man that sounds awesome! I assume you mean the good MTV... Like it was in the beginning when it still had music, with the occasional music news from Kurt Loder? 😄
Sounds dope. I'd like to see that, Bro

When I was a free user I tried the Pro Trial and the videos turned out great. I bought their Premier subscription and now all the upscaled images I generate into videos have some sort of pixel artifacts all over. I tried to resize them down thinking it was because the dimensions were too big but my vids are still getting the artifacts. I emailed their customer support and I'm waiting for advice.
But all in all I will say that their Image to Video is quite good for simple or common prompts.
some of my generations give try again error after 3 days. I wonder if it stucks on the paid subscription too KLING
is a waste of time and money I only managed to create 1 video after 5 days
me too! luma is very faster!
One video in 5 days is pretty rough! I've seen some paid users reporting the same thing, so I don't think it's limited to us free folks.
Luma is definitely on my list of things to try.
@@excelerator i couldnt managed to try luma cause it says subscribe so i have no chance to try it free
@@ByRQNN maybe they changed it too bad. I work on my pc stable diffusion comfyUI with SD1.5 and animatediff, with some tries it can do very good videos, but for higher resolutions or video to video, more vram is demanded. I have gpu with only 8gb unfortunatelly.
I used klingai the last couple of weeks and it was working pretty well. Text to image and text to video generation was pretty quick. Image to video generation was always kinda slow. When I started, it took a few hours, later it almost took a whole day. As of late, the last couple of days image to video generation doesn't seem to get anywhere and just fails processing. When that happens one gets the credits used for the previous attempt back to try again or spend them otherwise, it used to work before though. But something leads to the process to take more and more time now until it fails. An influx of new users perhaps? Weird that the free credits stay the same if the service can't keep up with command. But now, that generations take longer than a day and might end up in failure, there is no point in queueing up even more generations. I guess I'll have to wait until my previous ones finish, if they finish at all.
Interesting. It could be, as you suggested, an increase in new users or an increase in demand. If so, I hope that levels off or Kling is able to match the resources to meet the need and things get better again.
@@excelerator I believe this is the most likely case. The interesting (or worrying) thing is, that they pretty much do the opposite right now.
When processing fails and you get the 10 credits back to either try again or do another video (or images) with them you can totally do retry to generate the videos. But most often, the failed attempt stays in your backlog and eventually finishes on its own after a few days.
So whenever a video fails you just get more free credits, while the process still seems to be going on in the background anyway. I assume this is a mistake or error on kling ai's part. But it also clogs up the backlog more and more. If every user takes advantage of this, then this would explain why image to video generation gets slower and slower (at least for free users like me) and in turn generates more and more credits each time the generations fail.
Oh, I see the loop... or the snowball effect... happening. Hopefully they figure it out and fix it.
@@excelerator There's been yet another change for the last few days. Some failed videos still might finish up on their own, but when queued again, the failed attempt gets removed from the timeline.
Now the question is to leave them there, let the additional tokens elapse and hope for the best, or using them to re-queueing the failed attempts which will remove the failed attempts from the timeline, but might result in yet another failed attempts, therefore going nowhere.
I certainly miss the time where I could get at least six five-second-videos per day, instead of having to gamble with additional, free credits for a few videos that may or may not finish the next couple of days.
But as far as I have read online, these issues seem to only be troubling free accounts like mine, paid accounts seem to be unaffected.
I'm still using the free version .. so far so good for me.. if i put the correct prompt, it always came with great result as i expected. but yeah, i only use it for 5-10 sec videos for may content. For subscription, i thing I'll wait for more good news from others. Mean while i'm gonna try Luma as well.
I'm 7 hours waiting for my first image to video generation, and seeing that trying it out can take days, I'm done with this app. I was willing to subscribe but definitely wanted to try it out first.
7 hours is a long time! What I've noticed recently is that the generation time on the free plan can vary widely... sometimes it's 20 minutes, other times I've had it say "more than 3 hours." On the paid account, I'm usually getting 5s videos in professional mode in 5 minutes or less and 10s videos in professional mode in 10 minutes or less.
I totally understand your reluctance to subscribe when the test-drive is not a good experience. That's where I was coming from when I posted this video.
I'm getting awesome results in the text-to-video section. (Kling 1.5 / Professional Mode).
You selected the Standard Mode (maybe Kling 1.0), of course you're gonna get problematic results.
As for the delayed video generation, I assume it's due to technical issues between China and the USA. I use it from Iran and the results come out fast.
Thanks for the insight. I've been popping in occasionally since making this video and I've noticed marked improvements.
I think I know what's going on as far as the generation goes. I might be wrong but just trying it out, the first one produced the video pretty quick. Unfortunately there was zero movements! So I tried again. This time I didn't give it an ending image, and it stuck on 99%. So I think they're doing what Luna did. Your first try comes out really fast, after that you wait and wait. I've actually waited up to 2 days on there.
well I am on my first and I have so far waited 3 hours stuck on 99%
@@tomasbusse2410 expect to wait at least a day, maybe two... Everyone's complaining that they're stuck at 99%
i have a standard account at Kling, the video's i make take usual between 1 or 2 minutes and yes i have more throw away video's that i have with luma, but kling is cheaper so that makes it allright i guess, but it is like with all those apps a hit and miss operation ,also the sensorship in kling is more unforgivable than luma's so i switch between apps and after a while you begin to know wat app is better in something than another we have to be patient till technology get's better it is still early days and i guess that is the price we have to pay for being an early adopter,we surely going to have better tools in the nearby future ....
I'm glad to hear you're getting something out of Kling. I look forward to trying it again and hoping whatever kinks I'm encountering are worked out. You're absolutely right about expecting some throwaways and getting a feel for which platforms work best in certain situations.
How long do you have to wait to get a 5 second video?
It is true that the free videos take forever. However, if you actually join and officially sign up for $10 or so it will consistently kick something out in under ten minutes. Also, go with the 35 point professional render. As with all AI animation sites, it will spit out clunkers. My experience have been it kicks out a usable scene at a much better ratio than all the other sites I have tried. The cost is reasonable.
Good feedback. I totally agree that generative AI is about the ratio of usable stuff you get. Some clunkers are to be expected with anything.
These vide or image which we generate so we can use these for commercially??? Plz give me answer
The only thing I can find in their terms is that 'members' commercial use is not restricted. It doesn't mention free users specifically, at least not that I can find.
I paid $32 per month and every video I make takes no longer than 7 minutes every-time. If you don’t pay, yes you have to wait forever to generate any image!
I wouldn't be surprised if the site wants you to pay, and the generations magically appear. Haven't tested it yet.
i want to know if anyone got paid plan after they have this same generation issue or not?
i am on standard plan and can confirm that it's faster... they are usually done within 5 minutes but most of the time i am not happy with the results and have to try again
@@AnazHime Hey KLING 1.5 came out, can you please tell me if its working okay now? like is it even generating videos with the paid plan??
@@AnazHime Please reply me fast , I am waiting for you
Works great for me. Opened my account the day it was available for purchase. I get the credits added everyday. Best vid generator that I've used.
Awesome! It's really weird to hear from some who have no issues and others that get zero output. I'm truly happy for those of you that are getting results.
Wow, so many people having problems with this platform. I am glad that so far mine is working very good and images are excellent even the videos. Using them for my Facebook page and some for my teachings on the gospel on UA-cam. So far so good, hope it stays that way.
Does Kling continue to generate when your PC is shut down?
Yes. Once it's submitted, the processing happens in the cloud.
Thanks this really helped I not signing up to this one, going to try the free SD3 video generator instead !
I have been using Kling AI for a month, both free and paid: in the paid I have never encountered these problems. In the free you can actually find the problems complained about by everyone. In my opinion, it depends a lot on the time slots because they have received a lot of visibility, they have had a big load of requests. In Kling AI, the problem is not the waiting, but having to carefully study the right language to use for the best result. Another important thing is that between ‘Standard Mode’ and ‘Professional Mode’ it's like night and day to get the correct value of what you type in the ‘Prompt’. In addition, with the correct positioning between ‘Creativity’ and ‘Relevance’, good results can be achieved.
This is good insight... thank you for sharing!!
I bought pro subscription, it worked great for 3 days, NOW, for the last four days it does nothing (failed to complete task, please try again later) Keep trying, same shit, same message. I have now cancelled subscription, but will need to cancel account with my bank as I do not trust this. A real shame as it was working fantastic for three days, before shitting its self. Also Kling will not reply to your emails. Watch out people, this could be a complete Chinese, SCAM, but it was great for three days.
I've been using Kling for the past month, both free and paid, and have never experienced these problems. The only difference I've noticed is that over the past week, generations have been slower, but no where near what you describe. I've gone from about 30-60 seconds per video to maybe 2-4 minutes. I'm sorry to see so many people are having issues because I think Kling is a real contender in this space! My first theory was that it was the uptick in popularity that has overwhelmed the system, but now I'm wondering if it's a location issue. Anyway, always appreciate your candid reviews. Thank you!
Man I totally agree with your take on this, I just got to the 36H mark and still none of my videos got past 99%..
FYI Im pretty sure this is a Chinese business so keep that in mind. I had the exact same issue. The rate Ai is moving it won’t be long till open source free generative tools will be out
Plot twist: The service secretly uses your own hardware to generate videos and not even GPU, just CPU.
Interesting. 🤔
Same experience. I closed my Kling window and haven't opened it back up again since. I don't have /that/ much patience.
Never had any issues and I'm on mobile.😂😂😂😂😂
How disappointing! I was really looking forward to trying it. I had my suspicion when it started taking agesto just creating a sign-in account. I did my research and stumbled upon your video. I stopped waiting for Kling AI to have me as a member. Next.
I just tried KLING for the first time and I see the same issues. So I searched the issues and found you which verifies that this is a really bad issue to say the least.
how come it worked on a different computer?
Good question.
Image to video is not work😢
Same. I have had the same issues. I have waited days and nothing... the few videos I have gotten took about 48 hours and the motion was terrible. I am so happy to hear its not just me. I have watched so many videos on how good Kling is and its literally not true at all. I would not waste my money on this AI. Pika is much better lol and Pika has a lot of issues.
Yeah, I was thinking that I must be missing something because all the videos I saw about it had it working smoothly and making decent videos (not always perfect, but a good hit/miss ratio)
In the image to video option this is useless, it takes days and still comes out with imperfections.
After doing a few successful img to videos on the free version (and yes it took over a day) I got the paid version, and since then I'm having a heck of a time getting any movement at all in my img to videos. It usually comes out as a static image which just some slight panning in random direction.. but hey at least I only have to wait about 5 mins for something I will never use!
Haha... that last part is great... Only waiting 5 minutes for something you'll never use!
Thanks for this video. I thought I was crazy. I see all these videos saying Kling is the best video generator. I have a paid account and I have not got a good video yet. Crazy morphing, too many fingers, not following the prompts, different faces from photos, or just bad videos.
Well, I usually think I'm crazy all the time. 😉 But, you're not alone in your experience.
I have yet to see anything finish with Kling AI.
WOW. That's not good.
any good alternative?
I had pretty good luck with Hailuo ... ua-cam.com/video/8NYOia-EphE/v-deo.html
same, left computer on overnight, tried multiple times, text to video works every time, its just image to video
That's interesting - text to video working and image to video being the problem. I hadn't paid attention to that distinction.
at least you got a video, 2 days I haven't had any complete, all hanging at 99% certainly not inclined to subscribe, am in Australia so maybe a factor
I've popped back in a few times since making this video. Sometimes I'll get a vid in 5-10 minutes, other times it seems to be traveling through the Bermuda Triangle. 🤣
@@excelerator I finally got one after 4 days, it did not move much, others all still generating and one failed
@@madcatlady WOW, that's terrible.
same for me. the generations literally take 12+ hours. I checked on reddit too & it's even happening to paid users.
That's the same thing I found on Reddit, which surprised me!
The weird thing is it goes up to 98% ok… then gets stuck at 99%. I. Using an iPad and it’s got pretty hot. I’m worried about leaving it on for a long time. If I turn off the iPad and log back in on my computer will it still be there working away? I don’t know.
You might have heard me say in other videos - I don't speak Mac 😁 But, I can say that I've gone back to Kling AI after leaving the site, closing the browser, shutting down my computer, or on a different computer altogether and whatever I had started is there - maybe still processing, maybe finished, or maybe failed.
I was advised by Kling that you need to be a paid user to get anything to work as advertised
WOW! Reminds me of a time I called HP about my brand new printer not working and them telling me that model wasn't very good and they would sell me a more expensive one that would work. 🤷🏽♂️
I dont recommend! i paid and regret because the results are terrible
Kling's financial model is total garbage for how inconsistent it is. Like Midjourney, you might need to do it 12 times to get what you want, however, because of the credit system it's completely unaffordable.
I currently use leonardo ai..image generation is good nut video could be better so researching on a reolacement. Overall kling seems to have negative experience among people but some have positive. Only 1 way to find out
I'm waiting for 5 days now!
2195 minutes remaining. Upgrade to get it in 5 minutes. Well played
🫨🤣😳 You summed that up so well!!
I absolutely agree, and their costs are crazy. Also, not much customer service. The generator is absolutely horrible. Any UA-camr promoting this immediately loses credibility from me. I wasted money on Kling even testing it.
@maxwell-cole I just did an updated review video, based on improvements in what I'm experiencing with Kling (on a free account and paid) ... I'm not pushing Kling, but thought I should be fair since they do seem to have made some positive changes. But, as the comments on this video show, there's a wide variety of good to bad experiences with Kling, and wide-ranging opinions too. And that's Ok.
Can anybody recommend me a better service to use than kling?
This sums it up pretty well - Kling AI is ONLY good for trying out some different things FOR FUN and seeing what it does. Of course it very well may do nothing. While the image generator usually is fairly quick, the video generation is a hot mess. I've waited 48 hours for a video to "finish" only to have it finally fail. In fact, of my last 14 videos, 9 of them failed after 24 hours. And you do not get your credits back. Given the poor performance of this software I would say that even for free it is nothing more than a toy. And DO NOT pay for anything (upgrading or credits) it will not be money well spent.
Interesting. it has refunded my credits for failed generations, and in a way that they don't expire that day - which is decent. I'm getting mixed reports with some folks saying paid works much better than free, and others saying they had the same problems as paid users. I do feel like they'd be better off not having a free version than having a free version that fails to generate much of the time.
Hahaha! I had the same problem. You have to change your workflow. The videos you need on Friday you need to enter on the Monday before ..... hahaha! I have a majorette and baton trying to twirl for 5 days now.
Ahhh, change the workflow to kick off the generation with 5 days lead time. Why didn't I think of it that way. 😁 Sounds like you teach someone how to twirl a baton in less time than it's taking to get the video. 🤣🤣
Just one thing, I decided to try the premium version to test it out and yes they do finish faster BUT the results most of the time are not good.. i tried image to video but it only generated a photo there was no movement it was only like I was watching a slideshow . I think its just not worth it, you might have better results with vidu and runway....
Vidu is definitely on my list of tools to try!
That's interesting. I have a free account and it successfully generates image to video, albeit it takes days to generate, a very long coffee break. This is the reason why I don't get a paid plan, I'm okay to wait hours on a free plan, but no way I'd be willing to wait more than 2 hours with a paid account.
Exactly. I can't complain about something I'm not paying for. But I will make some noise about the overwhelming hype that seems to surround every new toy!!
how fast is your internet? mine is 700mb
Mine is supposed to be 900.
You have this Kling confused with Kuaishou AI !! Kuaishou AI is the absolute most advanced AI software to date. It only available if you have a Chinese phone number…..
Interesting. 🤔
Yes unfortunately I am having the same problem still on 99% and waiting. I tried to create infographics with the image generator and it was truly terrible. Nonetheless, I will try the cheap pro version and see how that goes.
Infographics with Kling? Interesting. I'd love to see how that turns out if you ever want to share.
That's because (i think) Kling is trying to force free users to pay for pro and the rest, because i opened two accounts with different emails, one paid and the other free, the free was a very bad experience while the paid was quite good.
If not that then they have a server problem and they need more computer power and training
same problem 2 days and still generating
I truly believe they should drop the free access or increase the resources to improve the processing time.
It's been 4 hrs now and yet kling couldn't generate a 5 sec video
It is awesome... it is truly, really impressive - even just the free 5 seconds I've used.
However, in 3 months of me using it since I found it.. I've generated a total of 10 videos. 4 failed after 3 days of waiting and of those 10 - half are literally mind-blowing superb, the rest are AI nonsense that didn't do what I asked of it at all and are unusable.
Although, in this world of instant gratification. I've quite enjoyed making a request and then waiting aa few days for my result. It's added some excitement to my otherwise doom-scroll insta dopamine non-attentio.. what was I saying?
In the image to video option this is useless, it takes days and still comes out with imperfections.
Anybody has premium? Is it working fine? Or still slow? Thanks
I've been waiting almost 48 hours for a picture to video to load. 🙄
Yeah, that's not the experience I was hoping for!
ha ha, i created a video over 36 hours ago and it's still generating.. here's hoping
I'm still waiting for my videos after 3 hours! it got to 100% then just a scrolling progress bar. Lol What shite
Two 5 seconds videoS - its been 5 minutes. still waiting
its better now, the 1.5 that just released is amazing, as good as sora.
Awesome!
Same experience. Very frustrating :(
Frustrating indeed! It sounds like some folks are not experiencing this though... wonder what the difference is?
I'm a paid member. I have had no bad experiences with Kling. The videos take no more than 20 min. to finish and they come out the way I want/expect 99 percent of the time. One thing I'm noticing at the beginning of this video is the prompt this man is using. It's an awful prompt. It's too general. You've given Kling nothing to work with. The more defined you get with your prompt, the more you'll get out of it. You need to get way more detailed. As far as using image to video, it's the same thing. I've never had to wait too long. With most sites you don't get all the features until you become a paid member. That's common. Plus, most sites don't work as fast until you become a paid member. I guess it's where you get your info from and who's opinion you're taking. Most of the reviews from reddit, yt, and x say that it works and works well. But, like most things, you just have to do the research and find out for yourself. Good video. (no sarcasm)
Thanks for sharing your experience and observations. And I appreciate the feedback on my prompts, too. Indeed there are many people who speak very highly of Kling and I hope it didn't appear that I was trying to pretend that wasn't the case. My take on it was that I heard nothing but wonderful things and my experience was starkly different, which led me to look deeper and find others reporting results that weren't so great. Since posting this video, there's been a lot of feedback in the comments here, both positive and negative, and I really pay attention to the suggestions from folks who are getting good results.
I agree this Kilng is rubbish. I have put major details to describe certain things and at times the videos come out cartoonish or doesn't match the people in each screen although I give it the sane description. I canaled my subscription.
Same issue just join free plan and aaiting now an hour so i found your vid
Yeah, Kling didn't even like my first gmail, but eventually accepted one of my backup addresses. BUT that was 2 days ago, and it's still working on the first job I gave it. BIG FAIL
The email thing is crazy! ...maybe it's making your video extra special and that's why it's taking so long. 🤣🤣🤣
@@excelerator Ha ha ha ! "Special" only in my dreams :-))
Take a coffee break!! lol 😂
They introduced 1.5 version. I was about to pay, omg. I have the same issue. Who would pay for that?
The 1.5 release looks interesting. And, the addition of motion brushes looks interesting too. I'm willing to pay IF it means my generations will actually complete most of the time and the results will be better than what I'm getting with free. But I understand and agree that when you try something out and it doesn't work, it doesn't exactly inspire you to want to buy it.
For the record, I have no official ties with Kling AI. But I’m an early adopter that managed to subscribe to the standard plan at a discounted rate.
People experiencing most of the reported issues are on free plans.
My videos are being generated very quickly and I can easily produce high-quality text-to-video/image-to-video content, because I’m on a paid plan.
Other AI tools, such as Luma and RunwayML are far more expensive than Kling AI. And it takes longer for them to generate content.
If you want to produce the highest-quality video content very quickly, then you’re going to need to pay for it.
It’s disappointing to see you claim that Kling AI is “awful”, despite flatly-refusing to pay for it or test all its capabilities.
Your derogatory claim is due to a knowledge gap on your part, due to exclusively testing Kling via the free plan, which you did not concede in your video.
"Kling AI is awful" is my opinion, not a factual claim.
I was clear in the video that I was attempting to use it on the free plan. You mentioned several times in your comment that I was using the free plan, so obviously I made that distinction.
If I go to test drive a specific make and model of car, and the first one shakes, jolts, and coughs it's way to the street, the second one doesn't even start, the third one doesn't even start, and then a fourth one moves unimpressively to the end of the block and back, I'm not buying that make and model of car. Not even if the salesperson tells me that my poor experience is based on a "knowledge gap" that would vanish if I just paid for the car.
I certainly wouldn't feel any more confident being told that "most of the reported issues" are from people taking test drives.
I'm glad Kling AI is working for you. And I appreciate you sharing that experience. I don't appreciate inaccurate assertions about what was or wasn't 'conceded' in my video, and I don't appreciate the condescending demeanor.
@@excelerator I am more than willing to apologise for my alleged “condescending demeanour” if you can quote my words (verbatim) that aren’t factually-accurate. And I'm being sincere when I say that - I will say I'm sorry if anything I wrote upset you.
You’re welcome to your opinion, but it seems excessively harsh, bordering on click-bait.
Publishing a thirteen-minute video branding Kling AI as being “awful” without thoroughly testing all its capabilities doesn’t seem appropriate, especially considering it’s in beta and the issue only affects users on the free plan.
Kling have acknowledged the existence of the “issue” (caused by high-traffic), and it’s normal for new tools to face teething problems. I've faced issues with every AI video-generation tool I've used (RunwayML, Luma, Kaiber, Krea, PixVerse, Salt AI, Morph, Viggle, LensGO, Domo, Pika etc.)... and I didn't completely dismiss them as being "awful".
Let me back up to something I think we agree on, which is what you said "if you want to produce the highest-quality video content very quickly, then you're going to need to pay for it." No argument from me on that. For tech development, and similar things, the options are usually that you can have it fast/good/cheap - but you can only pick two of the three.
I also agree that perfection is not to be expected from ANY of the generative AI tools or platforms and issues are likely. I've experimented with many of those you listed. The difference is that Kling is the only one I've encountered that failed to produce an output more often than not (in my experience.)
The main point where I take issue is with your assertion that I did not disclose my testing was using free access:
"due to exclusively testing Kling via the free plan, which you did not concede in your video."
I absolutely did make that point several times in the video.
The condescending demeanor I'm referring to is not about a single statement of fact but the tone I perceived in the overall message. Perhaps that was not the intent with which it was written and an error in perception on my part.
Maybe my title choices are too harsh. I didn't have a title in mind when I set out to try Kling. After recording and while editing, I was scratching my head about how to title the video. Ultimately, I decided to put it the way I would if I was talking to a friend who heard about it and asked my opinion. I do not like clickbait (at all) and I frequently avoid titles that would certainly get more views for my little channel and opt instead for the less flashy, more accurate titles.
In this video, and all of the others I make, I do my best to be fair, honest, and show as much as I can without boring people into a coma. My initial plan was to record what I was doing as I was doing it. But, i wasn't about to sit here with the camera watching me watch the screen for hours on end. Given how long it was taking to get a generation, when it actually generated, I wasn't going to spend additional days trying to get more features included in the video.
Kling doesn't have to offer free access. That, in my opinion, would be better. I believe it's Runway that will pop up a message when demand is high and let you know that free generations are temporarily suspended. That's fine too. Or, even a little notice on the free generation that sets expectations appropriately, like 'free generations may take several days to process and have a higher likelihood of not completing. - demand is high and we prioritize resources for our customers." That would be more than fair.
However, it's not clear to me that these issues are limited to free users. I've heard from several paid users who have similar complaints. Granted, it seems like fewer paid users having these problems than free users.
Lastly, if you take a look at the other comments here, and my replies, I think you'll find that I'm not being a hater. I'm glad some folks are having good results and I don't doubt them (or you) on that fact. It gives me hope. I've said to several here (and in the video) that I look forward to trying it again sometime.
I genuinely hope we've found at least some common ground here. And, I apologize if I was too snappy in my response. I do appreciate your experience, input, and debate!
I totally agree with you, many people talk about Kiling not working properly, but they only have the free version which they expect to get for something they haven't paid for.
Having the same problem rn
You seem to be having troubles I've never experienced. All of the image to video in my channel are done using Kling. I can't say I've had very many problems - and it's the best generator out there. Currently I'm reviewing real physics in AI video generators and Kling has the top score.
Note, two days ago Klings website had a glitch and had videos at 99%. It's back to taking a couple of minutes now. You were unlucky.
I waited two days for a flying snake image I had to animate, then error occurred and I have waited another two days, and still nothing, the servers are definitely full to the point that it’ll take this long, I hope it will be fixed soon
I'm glad to hear this. I was really surprised at my experience being so bad, and I'm totally willing to give it another shot.
I wondered if it was a capacity issue. Some platforms have different times of day that are better than others. That's not what I found with Kling... But, I didn't try it again after a day or so.
thank you
Thanks for the video. I was scratching me head too wondering what everyone was raving about and I have tried many video making programs. Kling sucks bigh time.
Glad I'm not crazy, at least. But i really would like it to work as well at what so many others claim!
Do we need to use vpn and fake that we are located in china perhaps?
Maybe. But I do see and hear from other people who get good results and they haven't mentioned this.
@@excelerator I signed up and that fixed it. (I guess the people claiming that didn't help was probably some anti-china guy...)
Strange, I've been using KlingAI alot and it works like a gem!
Very unfortunate of you not able to use the best in the market
The dev becomes greedy, it is time to move to other image to video generator
I found Hailou AI and it's working like I thought Kling would. ...and it's totally free for now.
3 tries.....stopped at 99%. Even overnight didn't work.
I had the same problem. Before the video was finished, I didn't need it anymore. For days it remained at 99%. And when it was done, it looked terrible. I don't dare to subscribe to Kling Ai.
just buy a 10$ subscription and suddenly it will be minutes and not days. I don't know how free version can work if you get 30 sec vid generation for free per day, but paid account gives you only 300 sec extra for entire month. This is stupid pricing and exactly the reason why free accounts will not work. If free account was working, you could create 5 accounts and have 100% free video generation at will. And yes. Kling is the best vid generator and it works like best image generator midjourney - only when you pay. Maybe Kling will do what midjourney have done - scrap free accounts.
yep - exactly the same experience. Gets stuck on 99% and no video generated. Complete waste of time
Yep.....3 times.
It's a professional tool that is meant to be paid for. Using free AI video generator tools is not the way to get good results, generally speaking. You clearly have to pay to get fast generations, Einstein.
99% for two days only to say it has failed to generate. If I click the upper right it’s happy to tell me I will loose 66 credits in 24 hrs. ( while at the same time it isn’t working at all) I have lots of credits that I paid for that I can’t use. I think we’ll eventually realize these are nothing more than video slot machines you might half way win sometimes but for my money I’d much rather have less movement that was 100% accurate than to constantly take chances and spending money on these generators.
Less movement, but accurate, is a reasonable request. We can critique all the details in an AI video generator output but, to me, the bottom line is: is it usable? I like the video slot machine analogy. Everything with generative AI seems to be that way to some degree. But with videos that take a relatively large number of "credits" it's a bit more of risk.
@@excelerator I should say for anyone that is following this thread that I did the one month upgrade for $10.00 (as a risky test) and it began working again immediately. So I guess after your one month is up it stops working (even if you have unused credits) at least in my experience.
As for the movement, yeah it’s still a crapshoot 🤷♂️😂
Seems like a reasonable (but unfortunate) conclusion 😊
Basically everyone is doing the 50 free account Hack so now to discourage that ... pretty much all services are allowing paid users to get fast renders and everyone else get 1 day renders. I have a paid account... every generation is not AMAZING but I don't wait longer than a couple of minutes with Professional MODE with Image to video... the TEXT to Video for MIni MAX might be better and the TIME difference is amazing... I think 2025 will be insane... I think there is a TON of new tools that already exist but for safety reasons they aren't being released... but I would bet that by 2025 people will just view all this stuff as AI Special Effects and it will be just a matter of updates, versions, machine power and prices.
I'm cool with free being slower... But a day or days compared to minutes is rather drastic.
There's been a lot of progress in the last year and I agree, next year should be even better!
24 hours for a 5 second text to video...
Yeah - I didn't expect lightning fast, but a lot faster than what I got (or didn't get.)
It’s a data grabber 😂
Maybe. There's no shortage of data grabbing going on these days!!
@@excelerator that’s true 😂
Same problem as you, I gave up.
DO NOT BUY IT, THEY DON'T REFUND THE PAYMENT. AFTER 15 MINUTES OF TRYING IT OUT I DECIDED IT WAS TRASH AND NEVER GOT A REPLY FROM THE CUSTOMER SERVICE PEOPLE.
That's not good. I'm sorry to hear that.
No lie. So far it stole 20 credits and no video after rendering for hours. If the doing this to force people into paying they are scum.
It has to do a verification before username/pass confirmation--otherwise they could get hammered with a DDS attack. Welcome to the new world; there's one of those on most Web sites now.
As for your first prompt, the system doesn't know what "moving about" means. Also, "rush hour" implies "busy" so you only need one and "time-lapse" gets a hyphen. Your better prompt would be, "time-lapse cityscape rush-hour intersection with vehicles and pedestrians".
As for your second prompt, you made a classic mistake. You described the image you gave it instead of what the LLMs should do to that image. It already knows it's a "chihuahua" on a sofa, so you need to say something like, "dog barks" or "vehicle drives across lawn".
Your negative prompts "low quality" (should have a hyphen) and "computer generated" (should also have a hyphen) are meaningless. It is a computer generated image. You're using AI. And there is no "low-quality" images in the system; it's applying video sampling data that has no quality.
At 6:24, you are asking for a MASSIVE amount of movement in five seconds. That is unrealistic. You have to get out of those trees AND change elevation to match the end shot. Think smaller.
Finally, video...takes...time. Days. If you want to see what it can do, type "Kling output" into UA-cam or wherever and have a look.
This is the most useful comment I think I've ever seen. Thank you!!!
You didn't call me dumb or cheap, you gave me guidance without any BS, and I appreciate that!
I will definitely try to put your advice to work. I'm honestly not super confident that hyphens will make all the difference, but I can't say they won't, so I'm willing to give it a shot, along with your other suggestions.
Again, this is great... Thanks!
