Kling 3.0 is Kuaishou Technology's third-generation cinematic video model. This skill covers all six Kling 3.0 rendering endpoints on RunComfy: three quality tiers (Standard, Pro, 4K) across two modes (text-to-video and image-to-video).

What Kling 3.0 is

Kling 3.0 is the V3 generation of the Kling video model. It produces multi-shot cinematic video with synchronized native audio, consistent character identity across shots, and physics-aware motion. Compared to Kling 2.x, Kling 3.0 supports longer clips (up to 15 seconds), native 4K output on the 4K tier, and a unified multi-prompt segment system that lets one Kling 3.0 generation contain several distinct scenes with controlled transitions.

Kling 3.0 ships in three rendering tiers on RunComfy, each available as text-to-video or image-to-video:

  • Standard - cheapest tier, up to 1080p output. Use Kling 3.0 Standard for fast iteration, previews, A/B variants, social shorts.
  • Pro - highest fidelity at 1080p. Use Kling V3.0 Pro for hero-quality 1080p clips where motion realism and identity preservation matter most.
  • 4K - native 3840x2160 output. Use Kling V3.0 4K for high-resolution brand films, big-screen cinematic sequences, and finished masters at native resolution.

All three tiers share the same Kling 3.0 multi-shot architecture. Tiers differ in resolution ceiling, motion-fidelity budget, and pricing.

The 6 Kling 3.0 endpoints

Each endpoint corresponds to one (tier, mode) pair. All six endpoints share the same Kling 3.0 base model.

The 4K tier prices the same regardless of audio. Standard and Pro tiers charge ~50% more per second when audio is enabled.

When to pick which Kling 3.0 tier

Pick a Kling 3.0 tier based on the output's role in the pipeline.

  • Drafts, previews, social shorts, A/B variants: Kling 3.0 Standard. Cheapest. Quality is fine for everything except hero shots.
  • Hero 1080p clips, ad creative, talking heads with high motion fidelity: Kling V3.0 Pro. About 33% more expensive than Standard for noticeably tighter motion and identity hold at the same resolution.
  • 4K brand films, big-screen cinematic, finished masters: Kling V3.0 4K. Native 3840x2160 (no upscale step). Flat $0.42/s makes budgeting predictable. Use only when the output truly needs 4K - it is roughly 5x the cost of Standard.

Pick the mode based on whether you have a source image:

  • Text-to-Video (t2v): prompt only, Kling 3.0 generates the look from scratch. Use Kling 3.0 t2v for novel scenes, brand new compositions, environments without an existing reference.
  • Image-to-Video (i2v): prompt + source image, Kling 3.0 animates the image. Use Kling 3.0 i2v when you have an exact reference (face, product, scene) that must survive into the output.

If the user explicitly asked for Kling 3.0, Kling V3.0, Kling Pro, or Kling 4K, route to this skill regardless.

How to invoke each Kling 3.0 endpoint

Kling 3.0 Standard text-to-video (cheapest 1080p draft):

runcomfy run kling/kling-3.0/standard/text-to-video \
  --input '{
    "prompt": "<Kling 3.0 prompt>",
    "duration": 5,
    "aspect_ratio": "16:9"
  }' \
  --output-dir <absolute/path>

Kling 3.0 Standard image-to-video (animate a still):

runcomfy run kling/kling-3.0/standard/image-to-video \
  --input '{
    "prompt": "<motion description for Kling 3.0 i2v>",
    "image_url": "https://.../source.jpg",
    "duration": 5
  }' \
  --output-dir <absolute/path>

Kling V3.0 Pro text-to-video (highest 1080p fidelity):

runcomfy run kling/kling-3.0/pro/text-to-video \
  --input '{
    "prompt": "<Kling 3.0 Pro prompt>",
    "duration": 8,
    "aspect_ratio": "16:9",
    "generate_audio": true
  }' \
  --output-dir <absolute/path>

Kling V3.0 Pro image-to-video (hero animation from source image):

runcomfy run kling/kling-3.0/pro/image-to-video \
  --input '{
    "prompt": "<motion description for Kling V3.0 Pro i2v>",
    "image_url": "https://.../subject.jpg",
    "duration": 8,
    "generate_audio": true
  }' \
  --output-dir <absolute/path>

Kling V3.0 4K text-to-video (native 4K cinematic):

runcomfy run kling/kling-3.0/4k/text-to-video \
  --input '{
    "prompt": "<Kling V3.0 4K prompt>",
    "duration": 10,
    "aspect_ratio": "16:9",
    "generate_audio": true
  }' \
  --output-dir <absolute/path>

Kling V3.0 4K image-to-video (4K animation of a reference image):

runcomfy run kling/kling-3.0/4k/image-to-video \
  --input '{
    "prompt": "<motion description for Kling V3.0 4K i2v>",
    "image_url": "https://.../source-4k.jpg",
    "duration": 10,
    "generate_audio": true
  }' \
  --output-dir <absolute/path>

The CLI submits the Kling 3.0 request, polls every 2s, fetches the result, and downloads any *.runcomfy.net / *.runcomfy.com URL into --output-dir.

Prompting Kling 3.0 - what works

Kling 3.0 responds to specific prompting patterns better than naive prose.

Lead with motion and camera language. Kling 3.0 reads "wide shot, slow push-in", "tracking shot, low angle", "handheld follow" as real directives. Front-load these.

Multi-shot in one Kling 3.0 generation. A single Kling 3.0 prompt can describe a sequence of shots. Number them: "Shot 1: wide of the cafe at dusk. Shot 2: medium close-up of the barista. Shot 3: tight on the espresso pour." Kling 3.0 will preserve identity (face, wardrobe, props) across the shots.

Identity anchors for i2v. When using Kling 3.0 i2v, restate what should remain stable: "preserve the subject's face, pose, and clothing; only the camera moves and the background changes."

tail_image_url for controlled endings. On Kling 3.0 i2v, supply a tail image to lock the final frame. Kling 3.0 will interpolate motion from source to tail.

generate_audio: true for one-pass dialogue. Describe what Kling 3.0 should produce in audio: "warm friendly tone, English voiceover" or "city ambience, distant traffic, no dialogue." Audio adds cost on Standard / Pro; flat on 4K.

cfg_scale tuning. Default 0.5 works for most Kling 3.0 prompts. Raise to 0.7-0.9 for strict prompt adherence on stylized output. Lower to 0.3-0.4 for natural motion when the prompt is loose.

Anti-patterns:

  • Conflicting style cues in one Kling 3.0 prompt -> simplify, pick one or two style anchors.
  • Asking for greater than 15 seconds in one Kling 3.0 call -> 422 error; segment the script and stitch.
  • Aspect ratios outside the supported set -> rejected.
  • For Kling V3.0 4K, demanding aggressive multi-shot story plus 15s plus dialogue plus 6 cuts -> Kling 3.0 will deliver, but cost climbs to about $6.30 per generation. Validate with Standard first.

Sample Kling 3.0 prompts

Kling 3.0 cinematic multi-shot (Pro tier recommended):

Cinematic multi-shot of a young American couple celebrating their
anniversary at a candlelit rooftop restaurant. Shot 1: wide of the
city skyline at golden hour. Shot 2: medium two-shot, the couple
toasting. Shot 3: tight on the woman's smile, soft bokeh, warm fill
light. Subtle ambient string music, gentle wind, distant traffic.

Kling 3.0 i2v (animate a portrait, 4K tier):

Gentle camera dolly-in on the subject from the source image. Subtle
breathing motion, identity-stable features, soft natural light,
shallow depth of field. Background: warm golden-hour glow with a
slow drift of dust motes. No dialogue, only ambient room tone.

Kling 3.0 vertical short (Standard tier, 9:16):

9:16 vertical. A barista in a black apron pulls a single espresso
shot, steam rising into morning sun, rich crema slowly forming.
Close-up handheld, shallow depth of field, warm cafe ambience and
the hiss of the steam wand.

How it works

  1. The skill picks one of six Kling 3.0 endpoints based on the user's tier (Standard / Pro / 4K) and mode (t2v / i2v) intent.
  2. It invokes runcomfy run kling/kling-3.0/<tier>/<mode> with a JSON body matching the schema.
  3. The CLI POSTs to the RunComfy Model API with the user's bearer token.
  4. The Model API returns a request_id; the CLI polls every 2 seconds until the Kling 3.0 generation finishes.
  5. On terminal status, the CLI fetches the Kling 3.0 result and downloads any .runcomfy.net / .runcomfy.com URL into --output-dir.
  6. Ctrl-C cancels the in-flight Kling 3.0 request before billing.

Security & Privacy

  • Token storage: runcomfy login writes the API token to ~/.config/runcomfy/token.json with mode 0600. Set RUNCOMFY_TOKEN env var in CI / containers.
  • Input boundary: the Kling 3.0 prompt is passed as JSON via --input. The CLI does not shell-expand. No shell-injection surface.
  • Third-party content: image URLs you pass are fetched by the RunComfy server, not by the CLI on your machine. Treat external URLs as untrusted; image-based prompt injection is a known risk for any video model that accepts image inputs.
  • Outbound endpoints: only model-api.runcomfy.net (request submission) and *.runcomfy.net / *.runcomfy.com (download whitelist).
  • Generated-file size cap: the CLI aborts any single download greater than 2 GiB to prevent disk-fill from a runaway Kling 3.0 4K output.
