Where Kling 3.0 shines
Cinematic clips
Generate detailed, cinematic motion sequences from a text prompt at up to 4K with image-to-video.
Animate stills
Upload a starting image and an optional ending image to interpolate smooth start-to-end motion.
Multi-shot scenes
Compose a single clip from several shots using multi-shot storyboarding.
Strengths
- Handles both text-to-video and image-to-video in one model
- Image-to-video accepts a start frame plus an optional end frame for start-to-end interpolation
- Native 4K output available as a premium image-to-video tier
- Optional native audio generated in the same pass
- Flexible clip length from 3 to 15 seconds
- Multi-shot storyboarding to build a clip from several shots
Trade-offs
- 4K is image-to-video only; there is no 4K text-to-video
- Priced per second, so longer clips cost proportionally more
- Enabling audio raises the per-second price
- Image-to-video Edit mode requires uploading an input image
- Higher cost per second and slower renders than lighter Kling tiers

About Kling 3.0
Kling 3.0 is Kuaishou's higher-end video model in the Kling family, built for cinematic, detailed motion. It generates clips from a text prompt or from a starting image, so you can either describe a scene from scratch or animate an existing frame. Clips run anywhere from 3 to 15 seconds and export as MP4.
The model adds native 4K output as a premium image-to-video tier, optional native audio in the same pass, and multi-shot storyboarding so you can compose a single clip from several shots. In image-to-video Edit mode you can supply a start frame plus an optional end frame, letting Kling 3.0 interpolate the motion from one image to the other.
On HexGen, Kling 3.0 is priced per second of video and tiered by quality (720p, 1080p, or 4K) and by whether audio is enabled. Pick your resolution, duration, and audio toggle, then run it directly in the studio. Longer clips and the audio toggle cost proportionally more per second.
Starting points
Copy, tweak, and run. Good prompts get you most of the way there.
A lone hiker reaches a misty mountain summit at sunrise, camera slowly pushing in as golden light breaks over the peaks. 1080p, 16:9, 8 seconds.
Image-to-video: animate this portrait so the subject turns toward camera and smiles as soft window light shifts across their face. Use the second image as the ending frame.
A neon-lit city street in the rain, multi-shot: wide establishing shot, then a close-up of reflections in a puddle, then a car driving past. 4K, 9:16, with ambient street audio.
Pay only for what you render. 1 USD = 1,000 HGcoins. HGcoins never expire and failed runs refund automatically.
