Kling 3.0 - plan the cost of ad variants

An ad budget also includes successful generations that you decide not to use. A succeeded status means an output was delivered, not that an editor approved it. Separate your trial allowance from the number of clips required in the final video.

Prepare the shot

• Record final shot count and the maximum attempts per shot; multiply them to obtain the request limit.
• Use a shorter supported clip while exploring the idea and change one prompt element per attempt.
• Compare 5 and 10 seconds at the same resolution in the calculator, then check audio separately.
• Label each output usable, revise or reject, with a concrete reason.
• Stop when the trial limit is reached. A new brief needs a new budget decision.
• Download accepted outputs and save their settings; a result URL is not permanent storage.

Review before publication

• Trial limit is defined beforehand.
• Audio and resolution match across estimates.
• Failed tasks are distinguished from successful but unsuitable outputs.

API input example

  "input": {
    "prompt": "A ceramic mug on a dark studio table, slow camera push, warm side light, no text",
    "duration": 5
  }
}

FAQ

Is a clip rejected by the editor free?

No. A successfully generated output is billable even when it does not fit the project. Failed generations are free.

Can I check the request before a paid run?

Yes. Check the model schema and the cost shown in Studio. Local demo API tests validate request handling but do not prove the visual or audio quality of the real model.

Where are the supported parameters?

Model details and the generation API guide list the supported inputs. Preview mode does not provide a real generated result.
