Video model guide

Kling 2.6 video generation two fixed lengths and a sound switch you set

Generate from a description or animate one starting picture. The length is 5 or 10 seconds, the sound switch is yours to set, and text mode offers a shape. This model has no quality setting to choose.

Controls and specifications

The workspace lists Kling 2.6 once in text to video and once in image to video. Both entries share the same controls: a length choice between 5 and 10 seconds, a sound switch that you set yourself, and the same prompt box. There is no quality dropdown, and the image entry offers no shape selector.

Text mode offers 1:1, 16:9 and 9:16. Image mode accepts one starting picture and has no separate aspect-ratio selector. Review the generated framing before publishing. Both entries require a description of up to 1000 characters.

What this model is good at

Two lengths, decided up front

Choose 5 or 10 seconds before describing the action. These are the requested generation lengths; check the finished clip and trim it if your edit requires an exact duration.

A sound switch you control

The sound switch sits beside the length options. Turn it on when the clip should carry generated audio, and leave it off when a voice-over or a music bed will be added in the edit.

Animate a starting picture

Use a product photo, poster or cover as the starting image. Describe the movement, then review framing and product details in the generated clip.

Typical projects

A short clip for a fixed slot

Choose the requested length closest to your planned edit. Review the finished duration and trim the clip when the placement requires precise timing.

Silent clips for a narrated piece

Leave the sound switch off when a voice-over or a music bed will carry the audio. The clip then drops into a timeline without a generated track that has to be muted first.

Set a finished still in motion

Start from a product image or a cover and describe the movement you want. Check the result for changes to product details and framing before you publish.

Limits to know before you start

  • There is no quality setting anywhere on this model. Neither workspace offers a resolution dropdown, so you cannot raise or lower the output tier from a control here.
  • The length is a choice between 5 and 10 seconds only. There is no slider and no intermediate length, so a 7-second plan has to be met with one of the two fixed options.
  • The image workspace accepts exactly one starting picture and nothing else. There is no second picture, no closing-frame field and no named subject, product or voice materials.
  • Descriptions are limited to 1000 characters and are required in both workspaces. There is no negative prompt and no seed field, so a run cannot be repeated from a stored seed.
  • Aspect-ratio selection is available only in text mode. In image mode, review the generated framing rather than assuming the source will be preserved exactly.

How to start

1

Open the workspace

Use a button on this page. It opens the right workspace with this model already selected, in the language you are reading now.

2

Describe the result

Write what should happen in the shot or image. Concrete subjects, framing and action give the model more to work with than short labels.

3

Set the controls and confirm

Choose length or quality tier, shape and sound where offered, then read the credit quote for those exact settings before you generate.

What it costs

Generation uses account credits. Cost depends on the model, quality and output size or duration. Reference images, video or audio may add charges in some modes. Check the workspace quote for your selected inputs and settings before generating; the pricing page lists credit packages.

Questions about this model

Can I choose the output quality?

No. Kling 2.6 has no quality setting in either workspace, so there is no tier to raise or lower. The length and the sound switch are the settings you do control.

How long can the clip be?

5 or 10 seconds. Those are the only two lengths offered, and the choice is a pair of buttons rather than a slider.

Does it generate sound?

Sound is optional and you set it yourself with the switch beside the length options. Turn it on for generated audio, or leave it off and add your own soundtrack in editing.

Can I use more than one picture, or set a closing frame?

No. Image mode accepts one starting picture and has no closing-frame field. Review the generated framing before using the clip.

How long can my description be?

1000 characters, and it is required in both the text and the image workspace. There is no negative prompt field.

What does a task cost?

The figure rises with the length you pick and with the sound switch, and the workspace shows the total for your exact settings before you confirm.
