Kling 3.0 AI Video Generator
Kling 3.0 makes video from a prompt or a still image, at 720p through 4K, with sound as an option rather than a second step. Billing is per second of output, and the credit estimate updates before you commit.
Pick the output tier that fits the job; each one is priced per second.
Turn sound on and it is generated with the shot, not added afterwards.
Start from a written prompt, or hand it a still and let it move.
Kling 3.0 AI Video Generator
What is Kling 3.0?
Kling 3.0 is Kling's general video model: you give it a prompt or a photograph, and it returns a moving shot. It is the general-purpose sibling of the motion-control variants, which need a reference video to copy movement from.
On Kavel the model runs through the KIE runtime. The tier you pick in the generator is the tier the request asks for, and the credit estimate is computed from that same tier, so the number you see before generating is the number the run costs. A failed generation is never charged.

How a Kling 3.0 run is billed
Per second of output, by tier, with audio priced separately. The estimate updates as you change the tier or the length.
Three output tiers
720p, 1080p and 4K, each with its own per-second rate — so a draft and a final cut are genuinely different prices rather than the same bill at different quality.
Sound is a price, not a toggle
Audio roughly doubles the per-second cost at 720p and 1080p. It is worth turning off while you are still deciding what the shot should be.
Length is a multiplier
Because billing is per second, a ten-second clip costs twice a five-second one at the same tier. Deciding the length before the tier is usually the cheaper order to think in.
Both directions supported
Text-to-video and image-to-video use the same model here; starting from a still is the more predictable of the two because the first frame is already decided.
For a cheaper draft pass, Seedance 1.5 Pro runs an order of magnitude lower per second; for a finished cut with references and multi-shot control, Seedance 2.0 is the heavier option.
Shots made on Kavel
Clips generated on this site. Every output is AI-generated, so the same prompt will not return the same frames twice — read these as the range the model works in.
Motion the prompt asked for
When this model is the right pick
It sits between the cheap draft models and the heaviest flagship, and the reason to choose it is usually the tier ladder.
You want 4K without a flagship bill
4K is available here at a per-second rate rather than being reserved for the most expensive model on the site.
You need sound on some runs only
Because audio is priced separately, you can iterate silent and switch it on for the take you keep.
You are animating a still
Image-to-video keeps the first frame you already approved, which removes most of the variance from the result.
What the model does
What the model accepts and what it returns, from the runtime configuration on this site.
Text-to-video
Describe subject, motion and camera in one prompt and get a moving shot back.
Image-to-video
Supply a still and the model animates it rather than inventing a new scene.
Optional audio
Sound can be generated with the shot; leave it off and the clip comes back silent and cheaper.
Tier selection
720p, 1080p and 4K are chosen in the generator before the run, not upscaled afterwards.
Cost shown per run
The credit estimate reflects the exact tier, length and audio setting you picked.
Silent drafts
Leaving audio off is the single biggest lever on what a session costs, and it changes nothing about the framing or motion you are judging.

Generating with it
Four steps, and the second one is where the cost is decided.
Pick text or image to video
Starting from a still removes most of the variance, because the opening frame is already settled.
Choose the tier
720p for exploring, 1080p for delivery, 4K when the clip is finished. Each is a different per-second rate.
Decide about sound
Leave audio off while iterating; it roughly doubles the per-second cost at 720p and 1080p.
Write the motion, then generate
Name the camera move and what changes across the clip. The estimate updates before you commit.
What people make with it
Four jobs where the tier ladder is the reason this model gets picked.
Social clips at delivery quality
1080p output without paying flagship per-second rates for a fifteen-second post.
Product shots in motion
Animate an approved still so the framing and the product stay exactly as signed off.
Concept passes before a shoot
Silent 720p runs are cheap enough to explore several directions in one sitting.
A 4K hero cut
When one clip has to hold up on a large screen, the top tier is available without changing models.

Model credit guide
What each model costs in credits
You're only charged for successful generations. The exact estimate in the generator varies by model, length, resolution, audio, and number of images.
| Type | Model | Credit cost |
|---|---|---|
| Video | Seedance 2.0 | 5s 720p image-to-video ≈ 188 credits; text-to-video ≈ 308 credits. Scales with resolution and length. |
| Video | Seedance 2 Fast | Faster and lower cost. 5s 720p text-to-video ≈ 248 credits. Mini is cheaper still. |
| Video | Veo 3.1 | Billed per video (Lite). About 34 credits at 1080p, about 23 at 720p. |
| Image | Nano Banana 2 | Generate or edit from text and images. About 8 credits per 1K image, 12 at 2K, 18 at 4K. |
| Image | Nano Banana Pro | Consistent run times across generations. About 12 credits per 1K or 2K image, 21 at 4K. |
| Image | Nano Banana 2 Lite | Faster, simpler variant. About 8 credits per image. Start here to test. |
Questions about this model
What it costs, what it accepts and where it stops.
It is billed per second and by tier. A five-second 720p clip without audio is about 106 credits on this site; the same clip with audio is about 150. The generator shows the estimate for the exact tier, length and audio setting before you start, and a failed run is never charged.
Yes, and by a lot — roughly double at 720p and 1080p. That is a provider rate, not a markup, so the practical advice is to iterate silent and only turn sound on for the take you intend to keep.
Yes. Image-to-video takes a still and animates it, which is usually the more predictable of the two modes because the first frame is already fixed. Switch to the Image to video tab in the generator.
Motion control copies movement from a reference video you supply, so it needs two inputs and answers a narrower question. this one is the general model: a prompt, or a prompt plus one still.
Yes, as its own tier with its own per-second rate. It is the most expensive way to run this model, so it is worth reserving for a clip you have already settled at a lower tier.
Frame rate is not something we have confirmed from the provider, so this page does not state one. Anything else absent from the specs table is absent because we could not source it.
Commercial rights follow your Kavel plan rather than this model in particular, so check the pricing page for what your tier includes. Nothing on this page grants rights the plan does not.
