Kling 3.0 Turbo API parameters

Request parameters supported by the Kling 3.0 Turbo API on EmpirioLabs. Defaults apply when a field is omitted.

Good to know

Text-to-video and image-to-video. Send a prompt to generate from text, or add a source image to animate it. Native audio is generated automatically.

Defaults

• 5 second duration (3 to 15 seconds supported)
• 720p output (720p or 1080p)
• 16:9 aspect ratio for text-to-video (image-to-video follows the source image)

Controls

• Prompt, negative prompt, resolution, aspect ratio, and duration

Multi-shot prompts

• Generate up to 6 sequential shots in one video by formatting the prompt as shot 1, <seconds>, <description>; shot 2, <seconds>, <description>;
• Each shot lasts at least 1 second, and the shot durations must add up to the total duration.
• Example for a 6 second video: shot 1, 3, a lone astronaut walks across a red desert at dawn; shot 2, 3, the camera tilts up to reveal two pale moons;

Billing

• Charged per second of generated video at the selected resolution (1080p costs more per second than 720p)
• A request that fails before any video is produced is not billed
