Kling 3 Pro vs Pika V2.2
Kling 3 Pro edges out Pika v2.2 Text-to-Video overall (Kling 3 Pro 62.0 vs Pika v2.2 Text-to-Video 26.0.) Kling 3 Pro is a clear upgrade from Kling 2.6 and the Veo 3.1 models on most dimensions. It excels at human performance and emotive acting, has some of the best prompt understanding of any model, and produces cinematic, well-composed shots with standout animal realism. It can very fluidly go from slow motion to regular speed, showing really good temporal coherence. It can generate some nonsensical outputs, so expect to run a few prompts to get it right. But when it gets it right, it's quite good. 2D animation and anime are average. Text rendering is just okay and may require some re-prompting. The main tradeoffs are in Expensive, Can generate nonsensical outputs, where Pika v2.2 Text-to-Video tends to score better.

Inside an opulent royal greenhouse filled with orchids, a blue ceramic watering can sits in the foreground on the left, and a terracotta pot with a single red tulip sits in the foreground on the right. A shallow reflecting pond runs through the middle and must show clear reflections. At second 2, a hummingbird enters from the top center and hovers directly above the tulip for exactly three seconds, then exits upward at second 5. The watering can and pot must remain fixed.

Inside a gilded palace ballroom with tall mirrors and a marble floor, a gold crown sits on a red velvet cushion on a small round table in the foreground. A silver candlestick stands exactly to the right of the cushion. In the background, a crystal chandelier hangs centered above the room. At second 2 the chandelier sways gently left-to-right for exactly three seconds; at second 6 a gloved hand enters from the left and extinguishes only the rightmost candle on the candlestick. The crown and cushion must never move.”

Single continuous shot in a sci-fi hangar with glossy floors and strong backlight haze. Keep a parked spaceship on the left, a glowing door panel on the right wall, and a metal crate centered in the foreground. A female lead runs from the background toward the crate and pivots around it without touching it. A small drone swoops in from the right and scans her with a sweeping light beam as it passes overhead. She slides behind the crate for cover, then pops out and slaps the glowing door panel once. The door panel flashes brighter and she holds in a ready stance facing it. The crate must never move and the spaceship must remain stationary. No cuts.
