Kling v2.1 is a Kling video model with image-to-video capability in the documented catalogue. Begin with a reference still that establishes the scene, then describe the motion that turns it into a useful shot. A product image, illustrated setting or character frame can supply the composition from which the sequence develops.
Choose a reference that makes the intended action possible to understand. A subject positioned beside a door gives a clear starting point for entering a room; an object placed on an uncluttered surface makes its outline easier to inspect. Preserve the reference at its original quality and keep it associated with the generated clip.
Describe one coherent piece of action. Specify the subject, direction of movement and intended final state. For an interaction, explain the relationship between the participants: who reaches, what is touched and where the action ends. Use visible details that can be checked in the resulting sequence.
Frame the shot for its destination. The documented image-to-video entry lists landscape, portrait and square ratios, with five- and ten-second duration choices. Establish where the subject should remain within the selected frame. A portrait composition and a wide establishing shot place different demands on the same movement.
The documented image-to-video controls include std and pro generation modes. Keep the chosen mode with the result when comparing candidates. Assess the output against the brief: the requested action, composition, subject appearance and timing. A mode label alone does not describe how well an individual shot meets those needs.
Use camera direction to support the event. A fixed camera can show a changing pose, a lateral movement can reveal a setting and a forward movement can emphasize a detail. State the intended relationship between subject and viewpoint so camera motion does not compete with the action the viewer needs to follow.
Review continuity through the whole clip. For a product, inspect shape, markings and material appearance as the viewpoint changes. For a person, inspect facial features, hands, clothing and contact with nearby objects. Check the final composition in the context of the next shot or graphic in the edit.
Save the completed video, reference, prompt and selected settings as one shot record. When revising, identify the specific visual mismatch and retain the parts that already serve the scene. Compare candidates at the same playback size and speed so the choice reflects the motion and composition the audience will actually see.

The displayed rates estimate the cost before generation. The final charge is calculated from the cost recorded for the original generation. Measured output duration and forecast quantities are not the final billable quantity.
Tariff references do not add request options. Supported parameters are listed for the selected method.
Match each charge to the conditions shown. Use one rate for each set of alternative configurations.
