# Kling 3.0 > Kling 3.0 (Kling VIDEO 3.0) is Kuaishou's video model, launched in February 2026, that makes 3–15 second clips from text or a start image, with optional native sound and dialogue in five languages. On Kenerate AI it runs in three tiers: Standard (25.2 credits a second silent, 37.8 with sound), Pro (33.6 / 50.4) and 4K (126 a second, sound included), so a 5-second Pro clip with sound costs 252 credits.

Open the video studio — Go to /app/video and pick Kling v3 Pro (the button on this page selects it). Video needs any one-time credit pack. 2. Add a start frame (optional) — Upload the image the clip should start from — and an end frame if you want it to land on a set shot. Leave both empty for text to video. 3. Describe the shot — Write subject, action, camera move and mood. Put spoken lines in quotes and say who speaks. 4. Pick length, ratio and sound — Choose 3–15 seconds, 16:9, 9:16 or 1:1, and switch sound on or off. The credit cost updates before you generate. ## In depth ### Which Kling 3.0 tier to use The three tiers share inputs, lengths and aspect ratios; they differ in quality and price [2][3][4]. Prices below are per 5-second clip on Kenerate. - Standard — 126 credits silent, 189 with sound. Drafts, social clips, testing a prompt. - Pro — 168 credits silent, 252 with sound. The everyday default for client work. - 4K — 630 credits, sound included. Final renders where resolution matters. ### Prompting Kling 3.0 for sound Kling 3.0 writes the soundtrack from your prompt [1]. Name the sounds you want (rain on a tin roof, a crowd, footsteps), put dialogue in quotes and say which character speaks and in what language — English, Chinese, Japanese, Korean or Spanish. For silent b-roll switch sound off: it saves a third of the cost on Standard and Pro. ### What Kenerate runs vs Kling's own app Kenerate runs the kwaivgi/kling-v3.0 models for text to video and image to video with start and end frames, one shot per clip. Kling's own app also offers multi-shot storyboards, saved elements built from reference images or video, and the separate VIDEO 3.0 Omni model [1]. If you need those, use Kling's app; if you want Kling 3.0 next to Seedance, Veo and Wan on one credit balance, use Kenerate.

A: Kling 3.0, officially Kling VIDEO 3.0, is Kuaishou's AI video model, launched in early February 2026. It makes 3–15 second clips from a text prompt or a start image, with optional native sound and lip-synced dialogue. On API platforms it appears as kwaivgi/kling-v3.0 in Standard, Pro and 4K versions; Kling also offers a separate VIDEO 3.0 Omni model. Q: What's the difference between Kling 3.0 Standard, Pro and 4K? A: All three take the same inputs and make 3–15 second clips in 16:9, 9:16 or 1:1. Standard is the cheapest (25.2 credits a second silent on Kenerate), Pro is the higher-quality default (33.6), and 4K renders at 4K resolution for 126 credits a second with sound included. Draft on Standard, then re-run the prompt you like on Pro or 4K. Q: How much does Kling 3.0 cost on Kenerate? A: It's billed per second. Standard is 25.2 credits a second silent or 37.8 with sound, Pro is 33.6 or 50.4, and 4K is 126 with sound included. A 5-second clip costs 126 credits on silent Standard, 252 on Pro with sound and 630 in 4K. Credits come in one-time packs that never expire, starting at $15 for 1,300 credits. Q: Is Kling 3.0 free? A: Not on Kenerate's free plan. Video generation needs a paid plan, which means buying any one-time credit pack — there is no subscription. New accounts get 25 starter credits for images. Kling's own app has its own free allowance and paid tiers; check kling.ai for its current terms. Q: How long can Kling 3.0 videos be? A: 3 to 15 seconds per clip, in whole seconds, on all three tiers. That's up from 10 seconds on Kling 2.6. For longer pieces, generate several clips — using the last frame of one as the start frame of the next keeps the look consistent — and join them in an editor. Q: Does Kling 3.0 make sound? A: Yes, if you switch it on. Kling's guide says Kling 3.0 generates native audio with dialogue in Chinese, English, Japanese, Korean and Spanish, plus effects and ambience. On Kenerate sound is a toggle: it raises Standard to 37.8 and Pro to 50.4 credits a second, and the 4K tier includes it in the 126-credit rate. Q: Can Kling 3.0 animate an image? A: Yes. Upload a start image in /app/video and Kling 3.0 animates it; add an end image as well and it moves from the first frame to the last. Image to video is the most reliable way to keep a product, a character or a face exactly as designed — make the still first, then animate it. Q: What is kwaivgi/kling-v3.0-pro? A: It's the API name for Kling 3.0 Pro used by model platforms such as WaveSpeed — kwaivgi is Kuaishou's Kling namespace, with -std and -4k for the other tiers and separate text-to-video and image-to-video endpoints. On Kenerate you don't need an API key: the same model runs in the browser as Kling v3 Pro. Q: Does Kling 3.0 do motion control? A: Yes, as a separate mode. Kling 3.0 Motion and Kling 3.0 Pro Motion copy the movement of a 3–30 second reference video onto your character image and can keep the clip's original sound. On Kenerate they cost 37.8 and 50.4 credits a second — see the Kling motion control page. Q: Kling 3.0 vs Kling 2.6 — what changed? A: Clips go from a 5 or 10 second choice to anything from 3 to 15 seconds, native audio gets multi-language dialogue and lip-sync, and there is now a 4K tier. Kling's guide also adds multi-shot storyboards and element references in its own app. Kling 2.6 Pro stays cheaper per second on Kenerate (21 silent, 42 with sound). ## Related pages - Kling AI video generator: https://kenerateai.com/kling-ai-video-generator - Kling 3.0 motion control: https://kenerateai.com/kling-motion-control - Kling 2.6: https://kenerateai.com/models/kwaivgi/kling-v2-6 - Seedance 2.0: https://kenerateai.com/models/bytedance/seedance-2-0 - Image to video AI: https://kenerateai.com/image-to-video-ai - All AI video models: https://kenerateai.com/ai-video-models ## Sources - Kling VIDEO 3.0 Model User Guide — Kling AI: https://kling.ai/quickstart/klingai-video-3-model-user-guide - kwaivgi/kling-v3.0-pro text-to-video — WaveSpeed: https://wavespeed.ai/models/kwaivgi/kling-v3.0-pro/text-to-video - kwaivgi/kling-v3.0-std text-to-video — WaveSpeed: https://wavespeed.ai/models/kwaivgi/kling-v3.0-std/text-to-video - kwaivgi/kling-v3.0-4k text-to-video — WaveSpeed: https://wavespeed.ai/models/kwaivgi/kling-v3.0-4k/text-to-video
