**Model ID:** `kling-video-o3-4k-reference-to-video`

Part of the Kling 3.0/o3 family on fal.ai, this 4K reference-to-video model generates native 4K (3840x2160) video from reference images and text prompts with no upscaling step. It excels at preserving identity, layout, and stylistic detail while adding cinematic motion, camera movement, and scene progression. Supports element and style references (combined limit of 7), optional start and end frame anchoring, multi-shot generation up to 15 seconds, and optional native synchronized audio in English and Chinese. Optimized for advertising, branded content, and production-grade scene work where 4K detail is required.

## Example request

<Tip>
  Use the [Workbench](https://www.oxen.ai/ai/workbench?model=kling-video-o3-4k-reference-to-video) as a request builder: configure parameters for this model in the UI, then open the **API** tab to copy the exact cURL or Python call.
</Tip>

<Tabs>
  <Tab title="Sync">
    This blocks until the video is ready (typically 5-15 minutes). Prefer **Async** or **Async with SSE** for anything beyond quick experimentation.

    See the [video generation reference](/inference-api/reference/video_generation) for more details.
