Kling V3 Video API
kling-v3Kling V3 is Kuaishou's previous-generation flagship video model (the newer one is Kling 4.0), with steadier camera motion, stronger subject and object consistency, and more physically plausible complex movement than earlier versions — cleaner frames with more natural dynamics. A single endpoint covers text-to-video (prompt only) and image-to-video (add a first-frame reference for tighter consistency), with optional synchronized audio so clips can ship with sound in one pass. Flexible 3–15 second duration makes it equally suited to fast vertical social cuts and finished, picture-with-sound shots. Billed per second of output by tier: standard $0.12/s, standard+audio $0.18/s, pro $0.16/s, pro+audio $0.24/s.
