API README
Kling Video V3 Standard Image-to-Video
Kling Video V3 Standard animates a supplied opening image from a written direction. The image fixes the first frame while the prompt describes action, camera behavior, and changes over time. An optional end image can guide the final frame.
The route produces clips from 3 to 15 seconds and returns a video URL. A request can select custom or intelligent shot structure, and native audio is enabled by default. The opening image determines the frame shape because this route has no separate aspect-ratio field.
Highlights
- Cinematic visual quality. The exact Standard image-to-video route is documented for cinematic visuals. This is the route's stated visual positioning.
- Fluid motion. Fluid motion is explicitly identified for this Standard image animation route. Movement is a model capability rather than a request parameter.
- Improved visual quality. The V3 Standard image-to-video documentation identifies improved visual quality. The statement maps to this exact version, tier, and route.
- Improved motion consistency. Motion consistency is also identified as improved for V3 Standard image-to-video. It is distinct from the route's fluid-motion positioning.

When to Use
| ✅ Good fit | ❌ Consider alternatives |
|---|---|
| Add movement to an existing product or character still. | Begin without any opening image; use text-to-video. |
| Direct a camera move around the composition in the first frame. | Select frame shape independently of the supplied image. |
| Guide a transition toward a supplied final frame. | Require a clip longer than 15 seconds in one request. |
| Produce a short scene with generated sound enabled. | Require voice behavior outside the documented language handling. |
| Use the Standard tier for this image-led workflow. | Choose Pro when its exact tier capabilities are required. |
Prompt Guide
Describe how the visible scene should move. Keep the request to the required image and prompt fields first, then add duration, audio, end-frame, or shot settings only when needed.
Subject action: [movement over time]
Camera: [framing and camera path]
Environment: [light, wind, particles, background movement]
Timing: [pace and progression]
Audio: [ambience, effects, or speech when enabled]
Final state: [arrival at the optional end image]
