About Kling 3.0 Pro
ArtCraft's pricing page uses Kling 3.0 Pro to illustrate credit costs (about 45 seconds per 1,000 credits), but the README's model catalog marks Kling 3.0 Pro and 3.0 Standard as disabled. Models are switched on and off between releases, so the model picker in your app is the source of truth.
ArtCraft's README also lists Kling among the providers it plans to integrate directly, which would let you connect your own Kling account in the future.
What Kling costs
The only official Kling figure is for Kling 3.0 Pro: about 45 seconds per 1,000 credits on the Basic plan, or roughly 22 credits per second. For comparison, Seedance 2.0 is about 63 seconds per 1,000 credits.
| Clip length | Approx. credits at the Kling 3.0 Pro rate |
|---|---|
| 5 seconds | ~110 |
| 10 seconds | ~220 |
| 30 seconds total | ~670 |
Other Kling versions are priced differently. Check the cost shown in the app before generating.
Which available Kling model to choose
| Model | When to use it |
|---|---|
| Kling 2.6 Pro | Your default for quality image-to-video among the currently available versions |
| Kling 2.5 Turbo Pro | Faster turnaround for testing motion and timing |
| Kling 1.6 Pro | An older generation, mainly useful for comparison |
Prompting Kling for image-to-video
Kling performs best when it animates a strong first frame. Build the shot in ArtCraft, with the character posed and the camera set, then describe only the motion:
The woman lifts her coffee cup and takes a slow sip, steam rising,
she glances out the window, camera slowly pushes in, soft morning light
Tips:
- One action per clip. Kling handles a single clear action far better than a sequence of events.
- Describe body movement precisely. Kling is known for natural human motion; "shifts her weight and turns her shoulders toward the door" works better than "moves."
- Name the camera move. Use terms like slow push-in, pan left, tracking shot, or static camera.
- Lock what shouldn't change. Add "keep the background unchanged" to reduce drift.
More ready-to-use motion prompts are in the video prompt library.
Kling vs other video models in ArtCraft

The best way to choose is to animate the same first frame with two or three models. See the video generator guide for the full list.
