Kling Video V3

Kling Video V3 is a V3 endpoint in the Kling family. It is built for creators who need to turn a concrete creative brief into a controlled visual sequence: the request establishes the source material, the intended subject behavior, the camera language, and the atmosphere of the finished shot. The standard route keeps that workflow explicit instead of hiding its input assumptions behind a generic video-generation label.

In practice, this route accepts image, video, end image as creative context and exposes duration, resolution, aspect ratio, generate audio for delivery planning. That makes it suitable for shot-based pipelines where teams must preserve a source, direct a transformation, or control the final format without losing sight of the model's central task. Write prompts as a compact shot plan—subject, action, setting, camera, light, and timing—then use the structured fields for constraints that should remain deterministic across iterations.

Highlights

• Prompt-to-scene generation. Builds the shot from written direction, including subject action, environment, lighting, lens language, and pacing.
• Synchronized audio path. Audio conditioning or generation is available in the same request, helping sound and picture share one creative plan.
• Endpoint composition. An optional end frame can anchor where the shot lands, giving transitions a deliberate visual destination.
• Resolution-aware delivery. Explicit output resolution lets the request target preview or finishing needs before generation.

Pricing

The request price is calculated with params.resolution == "4k" ? params.duration * 0.42 : (params.resolution == "pro" ? params.duration * 0.168 : params.duration * 0.126).

The model card records a base price of $0.630000; the formula above determines usage-priced requests.

When to Use

Prompt Guide

For V3, describe one coherent shot rather than a list of visual keywords. Put the main subject and action first, follow with location and staging, then add camera movement, lens or framing, lighting, mood, and any timed change. Keep URLs and hard delivery choices in their dedicated fields.
