Tail image

Settings1 min read

Normally you give the model one photo and the clip starts from it. The tail image is a second picture: what the clip should end on. The model invents the transition between them.

Try it on: Kling 2.5 Turbo

The "Tail image" setting in the panel under the gear

  1. Upload of a second image — the one the clip ends on.

How it works

  • Source photo — the first frame of the video.
  • Tail image — the last frame.
  • Everything in between is generated.

What it is for

  • Transformations: morning becomes evening, a sketch becomes a finished product.
  • Ad transitions: blank packaging → packaging with a logo.
  • Stitching scenes: the end of one clip is the start of the next.

Getting a good transition

  • The two frames should be similar in composition: same angle, same subject scale. Otherwise you get a jump cut, not a transformation.
  • Same aspect ratio for both images.
  • Describe the transition in words: "smoothly transforms", "slowly brightens".

Where to find it

On Kling V2.5 Turbo (image → video).

Not the same as a reference

A reference says "take the hero or the style from here". A tail image says "arrive exactly at this point by the end".
