## Model Selection Guide

- **Best quality clip (up to 15s)**: `kling-v3` or `kling-v3-omni` pro/4k
- **Multi-shot / cinematic storyboard**: `kling-v3` or `kling-v3-omni`
- **Voice-driven character video**: `kling-v2-6` pro
- **Motion transfer from reference video**: `kling-v3` std/pro or `kling-v3-omni`
- **Animate image with fine control**: `kling-v1` pro (motion brush + camera)
- **Multi-image composite**: `kling-v1-6` (see [[wiki/web-agency/kling-multi-image-to-video-api\|Multi-Image-to-Video API]])
- **Budget / fast iteration**: `kling-v1-6` std or `kling-v2-5-turbo` std

## Key Takeaways

- **v3 / v3-omni are the flagship models** — 15s clips, 4K tier, multi-shot, element control
- **PRO always means 1080p** (from v1-5 onwards); STD is 720p
- **Voice control is limited** — only `kling-v2-6` pro (image-to-video) supports it; v3 does not
- **Camera control** lives in `kling-v1` std 5s only — unique to that legacy mode
- **Motion brush** available on v1 and v1-5 pro; not carried forward to v2+
- **Video effects** (Hug/Kiss/heart_gesture) available v1, v1-5, v1-6 only
- **All videos expire after 30 days** — download before expiry (see [[wiki/web-agency/kling-text-to-video-api\|Text-to-Video API]])
