• Video Clips (3–30 seconds): Instantly generate short-form videos from a text prompt or images — perfect for social posts, reactions, or visual storytelling. Example: A 3-second clip of a gorilla swinging from a tree.
• Full Video Projects: Turn scripts, articles, or prompts into fully edited videos with AI-generated voice overs, subtitles, transitions, music, and an optional AI presenter. Example: A 3-minute video about Instagram monetization strategies.

Custom Kais are pre-built AI image and video effects in Kapwing. Our team has created hundreds of them so you can instantly produce eye-catching content — no prompt writing required. Just apply a Custom Kai and the style is handled for you.

You can also create your own Custom Kai to capture your brand’s unique look and reuse it anytime for consistent, on-brand content with one click.

To control motion during video generation, select the Kling AI model. This allows you to upload a reference video to replicate specific movement patterns, making it especially effective for choreography or AI dance videos.

You can also guide motion through detailed text prompts. Including camera directions such as dolly, orbit, or pan helps produce more intentional movement.
