Kling 4.0 on the website
Kling 4.0 and Kling 4.0 Flash can be selected in the website generator. This public API guide has not yet published a Kling 4.0 model identifier. Website access does not imply that a public API model string is available; use only the identifiers listed above for API requests.
Requests with a model string the API doesn't recognize fail with 400 INVALID_INPUT, so submit a new model string only after it is listed in this API documentation.
Which mode should you use for Kling 2.6?
std— cheaper and faster; text-to-video and single-reference work. Good for iteration: find your prompt in std, then re-render the keeper in pro.pro— higher render quality, plus the pro-only features: native audio and two-image end-frame control.
For prompt technique — shot lists, camera language, film-stock grading — see the multi-shot prompt guide.
