Does Kling AI 1.5 shine with its new tricks or is it still in the shadows?

Kling AI 1.5 is out and making a name for itself in AI video production. Just two months after its debut, Kling AI introduced version 1.5 to improve video quality and integrate new tools. But the big question on everyone’s mind is: can Kling’s latest update rival the more established players on the market?

Kling AI 1.5’s current competitors are Runway Gen-3 and MiniMax Video, while Sora is on hold as it has yet to make its debut. Can Kling rival these names with the new version? Let’s see if Kling is the go-to tool for professional and advanced amateur video creators.

How does Kling AI 1.5 compare to the competition?

Kling AI 1.5 aims to close the gap with its competitors by improving video quality. In addition, a feature called Motion Brush was added to the previous version 1.0. Thanks to this brush, you can choose the direction of movement when converting images to video. Or, when you produce a text video, you can edit it with the Motion Brush to create movement in the direction you want.

With the revamp, the quality of Kling 1.5 is noticeably better than its predecessor, with sharper visuals and more refined output. However, the contrast in its videos tended to be a little too high, suggesting less visual balance compared to the softer and more cinematic results of Runway. Still, it’s clear to see that Kling has taken a step forward with this update. The platform is pushing itself to compete at a higher level.

When it comes to creating video from text, Kling was pitted against MiniMax Video, a competitor praised for its ability to follow commands closely and produce stunning visuals. Kling revealed that AI 1.5, while impressive in certain areas, still struggled with precision.

Kling AI 1.5 has some bugs. Sometimes it doesn’t fully understand what the command is and outputs a completely different result. Since it is a new model, these things are possible. MiniMax’s system is stable and can understand every prompt, but Kling has no problem with text-to-video. A problem that can be solved with an easy update. The differences between 1.0 and 1.5 are as follows:

Motion Brush: A fine-tuning tool or a game-changer?

One of the features of Kling AI 1.5 is the Motion Brush, which allows users to manually control object movement by drawing paths within the video frame. The company has improved this feature a lot, and it’s very good with the movement of secondary elements.

In our tests, when we tried to move multiple objects in different directions, the AI didn’t get confused at all and produced the exact results we wanted. This level of manual control does mean that Kling AI 1.5 sacrifices a bit of image quality. However, once Motion Brush enters Kling AI 1.5, the combination of improved visuals and precise motion control could give the platform a competitive edge.
