All Kling Models
Video to Video
kling/kling-v3-omni-video
[Core Function] Kling V3 Omni Video is the flagship unified multimodal video generation endpoint. [Strengths] It supports multi-shot narratives (up to 6 shots), 15-second durations, native audio, video editing (via refer_type 'base'), and character/element consistency across shots using `<image_N>` syntax. [Best For] Highly recommended for: professional video orchestration, multi-shot cinematic sequences, and maintaining strict character consistency. [Limitations] Do NOT use this model for simple, single-shot T2V/I2V tasks where the standard V3 model is more straightforward and cheaper. [Routing] Use this model whenever the user requests 'multi-shot', 'consistent characters', 'video editing', or complex multimodal inputs.
