Kling V3 I2V
[Core Function] Kling V3 I2V is the next-generation image-to-video model. [Strengths] It transforms static images into video with support for 4K resolution, 15-second durations, and native audio, providing superior motion and character expressiveness. [Best For] Highly recommended for: animating concept art, bringing portraits to life in 4K, and generating long 15s scenes from a single frame. [Limitations] Do NOT use this model if you need multimodal reference elements (like character consistency across shots) or multi-shot generation; use V3 Omni instead. [Routing] Use this model by default for high-quality single-image-to-video tasks.

Kling V3 image-to-video request aligned with official settings: audio native|off, resolution 720p|1080p|4k, multi_shot, duration. image=first_frame, image_tail=last_frame; no aspect_ratio.
Video generation prompt. May include both positive and negative descriptions in the same text (no separate negative_prompt field). For custom multi-shot storyboards, use shot n, m, words; shot n, m, words; where n is the shot index (1-6), m is shot duration in seconds (each >= 1s; sum of all shot durations must equal total duration), and words is the per-shot prompt (max 512 characters). Max length 3072 (recommended <= 2500).
