Sora 2 vs Kling
Sora 2 shut down on September 24, 2026; Kling is running and still adding features. Where Sora 2 started a clip from your photo as its first frame, Kling O3 animates it for up to 15 seconds with sound and can aim for an end frame you choose, and Kling's motion-control model moves a dance onto the person in your photo. For bringing a photo of a person to life, Kling is the one to use now.
