v1.6-pro/image-to-video

This documentation is valid for the following list of our models:

• kling-video/v1.6/pro/image-to-video

Model Overview

An advanced AI video generation model, designed to create high-quality videos from image. This version introduces significant improvements in visual quality and dynamic action rendering, enabling users to generate more consistent and visually appealing results compared to its predecessor, Kling 1.5. Incorporates natural camera movements and transitions for more cinematic outputs.

How to Make a Call

Generating a video using this model involves making two sequential API calls:

• The first one is for creating and sending a video generation task to the server (returns a generation ID).

• The second one is for requesting the generated or extended video from the server using the generation ID received from the first endpoint.

Below, you can find both corresponding API schemas.

API Schema

Create a video generation task and send it to the server

The ratio/aspect_ratio parameter is deprecated. The aspect ratio of the generated video is solely determined by the aspect ratio of the input reference image.
