Kling 2.0 master elevates image-to-video with improved prompts, richer character motion, better visuals and a Multi-Elements Editor. Ready-to-use REST inference API, best performance, no coldstarts, affordable pricing.

Features

Kling v2.0 I2V Master generates short, cinematic videos from a reference image and a motion-focused prompt. Upload a starting image, optionally provide an last_image for better continuity, and describe the action and camera movement to animate the scene with smooth motion and strong visual coherence. Built for stable production use with a ready-to-use REST API, no cold starts, and predictable pricing.

Key capabilities

  • Image-to-video generation anchored to a reference image
  • Optional last_image support for more controlled transitions and ending consistency
  • Prompt-controlled motion: subtle gestures, facial micro-expressions, hair/clothing movement, environment effects
  • Cinematic camera movement: push-in, pan, orbit, handheld micro-shake
  • Optional negative_prompt to reduce artifacts and unwanted styles

Pricing

DurationPrice
5s$1.30
10s$2.60
15s$3.90
20s$5.20

Inputs

  • image (required): the starting reference image (visual anchor)
  • last_image (optional): target end frame reference for smoother continuity
  • prompt (required): describe what happens and how the camera moves
  • negative_prompt (optional): describe what to avoid (blur, distortions, artifacts)

Parameters

  • prompt: motion + scene direction for the clip
  • negative_prompt: optional “avoid list”
  • image: input image (upload or URL)
  • last_image: optional end-frame image (upload or URL)
  • guidance_scale: how strongly the result follows your prompt (lower = more natural, higher = more literal)
  • duration: video length in seconds

Prompting guide (I2V with last_image)

For best control, write prompts like a director’s brief:

  • Subject action: what the main subject does over time (smile, turn, wave, stand up, walk)
  • Environment motion: wind in trees, dust, rain, fog, drifting particles
  • Camera motion: slow push-in, orbit, gentle pan, steady handheld feel
  • Continuity rules: keep identity, outfit, and scene layout consistent; if using last_image, ensure the motion “lands” on that end frame naturally

Example prompts

  • A warm, serene park scene. An elderly couple sits on a bench; the wife gently pats her husband’s back, both smiling. Sunlight filters through leaves with soft dappled shadows. Camera slowly pushes in, subtle breeze moves their hair and clothing, natural motion, 5 seconds.
  • Portrait outdoors at golden hour. The subject smiles and looks toward the camera, hair sways slightly in the wind. Gentle handheld micro-sway, shallow depth of field, 5 seconds.
  • Cozy indoor scene. The subject turns a page in a book, warm lamp lighting, floating dust motes, camera slow orbit, 5 seconds.

Negative prompt examples

  • blur, distort, low quality
  • jitter, warping, flicker, melted details
  • watermark, logo, subtitles, text artifacts
