Edit @Video1. Replace the [element] with [new element / @Image1, plus a short description]. Keep everything else unchanged, including the background, camera movement, lighting, audio and duration.

Replace everything in [square brackets] with your own details.

Settings & parameters

• Kling 4.0 video editing: up to 5 clips (1 primary), each 3–30 s, total ≤30 s
• Write "Edit @Video1", not "Reference @Video1" (that triggers reference-based generation)

Variations

• Remove: "Remove the person in the foreground from @Video1. Keep everything else unchanged."
• Style: "Edit @Video1. Change only the visual style to [style]; preserve actions and timing."

Tips

• Always say what to preserve; otherwise other elements may change too.
