Ever get frustrated by the super short length limits on AI videos? You craft the perfect prompt, and the video cuts off just when it gets good. Infuriating!
Well, my mind was just blown by an incredible post from Tianyu Xu. He’s figured out a genius way to create AI videos of basically UNLIMITED length.
Here’s the secret sauce he shared, using the new Kling v2.1 model:
⚙️ The Core Feature
Kling now lets you set a specific start image and end image for your video. This is the key.
⛓️ The Chaining Method
This is where Tianyu Xu’s brilliance comes in. You can create a continuous shot by linking clips together:
- Clip 1: Generate a video from Image A → Image B.
- Clip 2: Use Image B (the last frame of your first clip) as the start frame for your next one. Generate from Image B → Image C.
- Repeat! You can do this forever: A → B → C → D…
He even pointed out you can create perfect loop videos by making the last frame the same as the first! (A → B → C → A). So cool.
💡 A Dose of Reality
Tianyu Xu is honest that it’s not perfect. The speed and movements can be a bit inconsistent when you stitch the clips together.
But his final point is the most important: our attention spans are shorter than a goldfish’s (his words! 🐠). Long, continuous shots rarely work on social media anyway.
His advice? Embrace the flexibility. Use this framing trick, cut your videos often, and edit freely. Don’t depend on one perfect, long clip.
This is a huge unlock for video creators. Make sure you check out the original post from Tianyu Xu to see how he breaks it all down!
