About Kling 3.0
Kling 3.0 is the third major version of Kling, the video model from Kuaishou. Kinoseed runs the Pro tier, both for text-to-video and for image-to-video with an optional end frame, so you can fix the first and the last shot of a clip and let the model move between them.
Clips are 5 or 10 seconds long in 16:9, 9:16 or 1:1. Sound is optional: leave it off for a silent clip, or turn it on to have the model generate audio with the picture, which costs more. When you start from an image, the clip takes its framing from that image.
