Why Choose This?

-
Start and end frame control
Provide both a starting image and an end image to guide the motion arc and define exactly where the clip begins and finishes.
-
Physics-aware motion
Understands real-world dynamics — fluid movement, fabric, hair, fire, and object interactions behave naturally throughout every frame.
-
Synchronized audio generation
Enable the sound option to generate matching ambient audio and atmosphere alongside your video.
-
Multi-prompt support
Chain multiple prompt segments to guide scene transitions and narrative flow within a single generation.
-
Element list control
Lock in specific visual elements — characters, objects, or styles — to maintain consistency across the entire clip.

Pro Tips
- Use a high-quality, well-composed source image — the model preserves and extends what it starts with.
- Providing an end image significantly improves motion direction and narrative coherence.
- Be specific in your prompt about camera movement (pan, zoom, dolly) and subject behavior.
- Enable sound for scenes with fire, water, crowds, or ambient environments for a much more immersive result.
- Start with a 5-second generation without sound to validate motion before committing to a longer, audio-enabled run.
Notes
- Both image and prompt are required fields; all other parameters are optional.
- Sound generation adds 25% to the base cost.
- Ensure image URLs are publicly accessible; a preview thumbnail in the interface confirms the URL is reachable.
- Using element_list: First use Kling Elements to generate your element and note its name and ID. Then simply write the element name naturally in your prompt, and enter the corresponding element ID in the element_list field. No special characters or syntax required.
