Clips longer than 10 s, many references, 4K output. - Kenerate Genjutsu (Kenerate): Clip 2–15 s + up to 10 references → 480p, 720p or 1080p · ~2–4 min. Fast edits on clips up to 15 s with up to 10 references. - Kenerate Genjutsu Pro (Kenerate): Clip 2–15 s + up to 10 references → 480p, 720p or 1080p · ~3–6 min. The same 15-second limit with cleaner identity and finer detail. ## Steps 1. Upload the clip — MP4, MOV, WebM or M4V up to about 100 MB; 2–15 s on the Kenerate tiers, 4–30 s on Seedance 2.5. 2. Add references — Characters, garments, objects or places. With a video, Genjutsu takes up to 10 (Kenerate tiers) or 30 (Seedance 2.5). 3. Pick a mode — Replace character, Swap object, Change outfit, Change background — or Free edit for combined changes. 4. Write the instruction — O1-style prompts carry over: "change daytime to dusk", "replace the main character's outfit with the coat from @image1". 5. Compare and finish — Synced compare view, then Upscale to 4K, Add subtitles or Dub into another language. ## In depth ### A unified model vs a dedicated editor Kling O1's pitch is breadth: one model and one prompt box for generating, referencing, extending and editing. Genjutsu is narrower: it only edits, and it splits editing into five modes, each with a built-in instruction about what changes and what must stay. Breadth suits exploration; modes suit repeatable production jobs like recasting or re-dressing a series of clips. ### When Kling O1 is the better pick Those are real strengths, documented in Kling's own guide. - You need text-to-video and editing in one place. - You want people or objects removed from a shot. - Your clips are short — 10 seconds or less. - You already work inside Kling's tools. ### When Genjutsu is the better pick Clips longer than 10 seconds, where Seedance 2.5 takes up to 30; reference-heavy jobs, where a full outfit or a character turnaround needs more than four images; and edits where the clip's own audio should stay or new sound should be generated to match. Genjutsu's hand-offs to Upscale to 4K, Add subtitles and Dub into another language also keep the finishing steps in one place. ## FAQ Q: What is Kling O1? A: Kling O1, also called Kling VIDEO O1, is a video model from Kling AI, Kuaishou's video brand, announced on 1 December 2025 as a unified multimodal model. It handles text-to-video, reference-based generation, start and end frames, and editing an uploaded clip with plain-language prompts such as "remove bystanders" or "change daytime to dusk", without manual masking (kling.ai, checked 3 October 2026). Q: How does Genjutsu compare with Kling O1 for editing? A: Genjutsu is editing-only, with bigger limits on input: clips up to 30 seconds on Seedance 2.5 versus 3–10 seconds on Kling O1, and up to 30 reference images with a video versus up to 4 images or elements. Kling O1 does more kinds of task, including generating from text and removing things from a shot. Q: Can I use Kling O1 on Kenerate AI? A: No. Kenerate doesn't offer Kling O1. Its video studio has Kling 3.0 generators for making new clips, and Genjutsu runs on its own engines — Kenerate Genjutsu, Kenerate Genjutsu Pro and Seedance 2.5 — for editing clips you already have. Q: Does Genjutsu support O1-style combined edits? A: Yes, in Free edit. You can ask for two changes in one prompt — for example a new character from @image1 and a new location from @image2 — as in the neon alley demo above. For best control, the dedicated modes handle one kind of change each, and you can run a second edit on the result. Q: Which is better for a long clip? A: Genjutsu on Seedance 2.5, which accepts clips of 4–30 seconds. Kling O1's editing input is 3–10 seconds, according to Kling's user guide. Genjutsu's Kenerate tiers take up to 15 seconds and use the first 15 seconds of anything longer, while Seedance 2.5 refuses clips over 30 seconds rather than trimming them. Q: Is there a free Kling O1 alternative? A: Genjutsu needs no subscription, and new accounts get starter credits to try it. Each run is charged in credits per second of clip, read and returned, and failed runs are refunded automatically. You sign in with a verified email; there's no plan gate on any engine. Q: Is it OK to edit people in videos with these tools? A: Only footage you have the right to edit, and only people who gave consent. Editing tools can change what people wear, where they are or who appears, so never use them on celebrities or strangers, never impersonate anyone, and label AI-edited clips when you post them. ## Related pages - AI Video Editor: https://kenerateai.com/ai-video-editor - Runway Aleph alternative: https://kenerateai.com/runway-aleph-alternative - Luma Modify Video alternative: https://kenerateai.com/luma-modify-video-alternative - Character swap AI: https://kenerateai.com/character-swap-ai - Kling AI alternatives: https://kenerateai.com/kling-ai-alternatives ## Sources - Kling AI — Kling VIDEO O1 User Guide: https://kling.ai/quickstart/klingai-video-o1-user-guide - Kuaishou / PR Newswire — Kling O1 launches as the world's first unified multimodal video model (1 December 2025): https://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/kling-o1-launches-as-the-worlds-first-unified-multimodal-video-model-302630630.html - Kling AI — Kling VIDEO 3.0 Omni Guide: https://kling.ai/quickstart/klingai-video-3-omni-model-user-guide - Kenerate Genjutsu (video editor): https://kenerateai.com/app/genjutsu
