Model capabilities

Built for production API workflows, not one-off demos.

Use Kling 2.6 from the same platform surface as the rest of your video and image stack: API keys, credits, logs, webhooks, and docs stay consistent across providers.

Prompt-guided movement

Describe camera motion, subject action, environment, and visual style.

Native audio toggle

Generate silent output or add sound when the target channel needs richer media.

Simple duration choices

Use 5 seconds for quick loops or 10 seconds for more complete motion beats.

Submit tasks, track progress, and return generated assets.
