HOW TO AI

How to generate consistent, cinema-quality AI videos

Kling just released its new Frames feature, solving the biggest problem in AI video generation: consistency. Unlike other tools that randomly change faces, lighting, or backgrounds halfway through a video, Kling AI 2.1 keeps everything locked in from the first frame to the last.

🧰 Who is this for

• Creators who want polished, cinematic AI videos

• Filmmakers experimenting with AI-driven storytelling

• Content marketers looking for consistent brand visuals

• Anyone tired of glitchy, inconsistent AI outputs

STEP 1: Access Frames in Kling AI

Head over to the Kling AI website and log in. From the main dashboard, click on Image to Video and then select the Frames option on the right-hand side. This will take you into the dedicated workflow for frame-to-frame video generation.

STEP 2: Upload Your Starting and Ending Images

Now you’ll see the upload section with two options, “Start“ and “End “.

• Start Frame: Your primary image.

• End Frame: The frame you want your video transition to.

Add your frames one by one.

Kling AI will use these two frames as anchor points and generate everything in between, ensuring smooth and consistent transitions.

Below the upload section, you’ll also find a prompt field. This is where you describe what should happen between your starting and ending frames in simple text

You can go promptless too. Kling will infer the motion.

STEP 3: Generate and Export

Once your frames and prompt are set, click the Generate button to let Kling AI process your inputs. Within seconds, the tool will render a fully consistent video that transitions from your first frame to your last without random glitches or face changes.

When the video is ready, simply click the Export button to download it in high quality and use it anywhere you like.

🧠 Microsoft buying AI from Anthropic for Office apps

Microsoft is diversifying its AI stack, adding Anthropic’s models to Office 365 alongside OpenAI technology. Early tests show Anthropic’s Claude Sonnet 4 outperforms OpenAI in automating Excel tasks and generating visually polished PowerPoint presentations.

→ Combines OpenAI & Anthropic tech for Word, Excel, Outlook, PowerPoint

→ Microsoft will access Anthropic models via AWS

→ Office AI pricing remains unchanged

Why is important: Microsoft is blending multiple AI providers to optimize productivity features. This move highlights growing competition in AI-driven office tools and signals a shift toward specialized models for automation, design, and user experience.

ESSENTIAL BITES

• Anthropic backs California’s SB 53 bill, which would require AI companies to publish safety frameworks and transparency reports.

• ASML invests $1.5B in Mistral, giving it a ~$13B valuation. The partnership will integrate AI into ASML’s lithography systems, R&D, and operations, speeding up semiconductor innovation and deepening the AI-chip connection.

• Emory University tests AI voice agents on 2,000 patients in English and Spanish to monitor blood pressure. The system connects those with high readings to a nurse, cuts costs by 88.7%, and scores 9/10 in patient satisfaction, showing older adults are comfortable with the tech.
