| Modality | Description |
|---|---|
| Kling v2.1 I2V Pro Start End Frame API | Provide start and end frames to generate a video with controlled motion continuity between both images. Smoother scene transitions make this endpoint suitable for planned shot changes, visual sequences, and defined story beats. |
| Kling v2.1 T2V Master API (Text To Video) | Complex text prompts become videos with advanced motion logic and enhanced dynamic camera rendering. Select this endpoint for detailed scene directions, expressive movement, and concepts that depend on deliberate camera behavior. |
| Kling v2.1 I2V Master API (Image To Video) | Built for professional image to video generation, this endpoint animates a source image with precise motion continuity and visual depth. It suits polished creative work where coherent movement and dimensional presentation are priorities. |
| Kling v2.1 I2V Pro API (Image To Video) | Balance generation speed and fidelity while turning source images into sharp, fluid videos. Use it for general creative production that needs dependable visual quality without relying on the Master endpoint. |
| Kling v2.1 I2V Standard API (Image To Video) | For rapid iteration, this endpoint converts source images into reliable 720p videos. Its speed focused profile supports quick visual drafts, early concept reviews, and efficient video prototyping. |
Kling v2.1 combines text to video and image to video creation, first and last frame conditioning, clips lasting 5 or 10 seconds, adjustable guidance, and Standard, Pro, and Master tiers through one Atlas Cloud API.
Kling v2.1 Pro accepts both a first frame and a final frame, with each image limited to JPEG or PNG, 10 MB, and at least 300 by 300 pixels. The model generates the motion between those anchors while preserving continuity across the transition. Choose 5 or 10 seconds of output to shape reveals, transformations, and tightly directed narrative beats.
Master variants bring advanced motion logic, dynamic camera rendering, precise continuity, and visual depth to demanding scenes. Whether the prompt calls for a rapid chase, layered character movement, or a sweeping camera move, the model is designed to maintain coherent action. Choose Master when professional image to video or complex text to video work needs the family’s most capable tier.
Build from words or animate an existing frame through separate text to video and image to video models. The family includes Standard, Pro, and Master image based options, while Master also handles text prompts with selectable 16:9, 9:16, or 1:1 framing. This range lets one integration serve quick drafts, general creative production, and more demanding cinematic concepts.
Set every supported model to produce a clip lasting either 5 or 10 seconds. Short runs suit rapid visual tests, while the longer option gives motion, camera changes, and transitions more room to develop without changing the generation endpoint. Standard is optimized for fast 720p drafts, making it a practical entry point before moving a concept into Pro or Master.
Shape Kling v2.1 output with a required positive prompt, an optional negative prompt, and guidance control from 0 to 1. Raise or lower the guidance value to tune adherence, while negative prompts identify elements you want the model to avoid. Together, these controls support more deliberate camera language, cleaner compositions, and repeatable iteration across creative variations.
Access all five variants through one Atlas Cloud API, with standard base prices of $0.056 for Standard, $0.098 for each Pro option, and $0.28 for each Master option. Pay only for the model calls you make and switch tiers as production needs change. A single OpenAI-compatible key keeps experimentation and deployment inside one integration.
Run two identical cinematic prompts through Kling v2.1, Seedance 2.0, and Kling V3.0 Turbo to compare motion continuity, prompt adherence, camera control, and visual storytelling.
An 8–10 second high-energy rescue chase at noon on a vast salt lake covered by mirror-thin water: a teenage girl in a cobalt-blue racing suit pilots a three-wheeled land yacht at full speed after a coral-red emergency bag swept away by a violent gust. Begin with an extreme ground-level macro of razor-sharp silver-white salt crystals as the front tire blasts past, spraying sparkling water across the lens; accelerate into a lateral tracking shot racing alongside the yacht as its taut canvas sail snaps in the wind and the girl lowers the mast to slice beneath a flock of flamingos erupting into flight. Whip-pan around the vehicle into a dynamic 360-degree orbit as one side wheel briefly lifts from the water under realistic centrifugal force; she leans out without losing control, hooks the bag’s strap with one hand, and pulls it aboard. End by craning rapidly into a high aerial view, revealing the yacht’s long curved wake—then a soaked baby penguin unexpectedly pokes its head from the open bag and chirps as the girl reacts with startled delight. Preserve perfect character, vehicle, bag, and spatial continuity across every camera transition; physically accurate sail tension, wheel dynamics, shallow-water spray, reflections, flamingo avoidance, wind resistance, and momentum. Hard, crisp midday sunlight against distant indigo storm clouds, controlled silver-white, cobalt-blue, and coral-red palette, premium photorealistic commercial cinema, tactile detail, sharp natural motion blur, fluid continuous action, no slow motion or empty establishing shots. Immersive synchronized audio: roaring wind, flapping canvas, skimming tires, rhythmic splashes, beating wings, a rising percussive score, and one clear penguin chirp at the reveal. No screens, software interfaces, dashboards, progress bars, charts, captions, labels, logos, watermarks, or on-screen text; no anatomy errors, duplicated subjects, continuity jumps, warped vehicle geometry, floating objects, unnatural physics, or camera jitter. 16:9 aspect ratio.

An 8–10 second continuous animated chase across wind-lashed white Mediterranean rooftops at cool cyan dusk: an elderly woman in an indigo apron races after a single vivid scarlet long scarf, vaulting over clotheslines and sliding down slanted terracotta tiles as the fabric snaps, twists, and billows naturally in the sudden sea wind. Begin with a low, fast tracking shot skimming along the narrow roof ridge beside her running feet; pass through wildly flapping white bedsheets for a seamless occlusion transition, then dive from above into a tight orbit around the woman as the scarf coils around a weather vane and gently swings a surprised orange cat into her arms. She catches the cat without breaking stride; the weather vane spins, the cat meows, and she laughs as the camera whip-pulls rapidly backward to reveal the layered coastal town cascading toward the glittering sea. Preserve exact character, clothing, cat, and rooftop continuity through every occlusion and camera change; fluid uninterrupted running, jumping, sliding, catching, complex wind-driven cloth physics, strong foreground-to-background parallax, expressive hand-drawn cel animation with delicate watercolor backgrounds, cool teal twilight contrasted with warm amber window light, the scarlet scarf as the only highly saturated visual guide across the entire composition. Rhythmic gusts, snapping laundry, quick footsteps on tile, a soft metallic weather-vane spin, one startled meow, distant surf, and lively Mediterranean strings building to the comic catch. No slow motion, no static shots, no text, logos, borders, or interface elements. 16:9 aspect ratio.

Kling v2.1 is a family of Kuaishou video generation models for text-to-video and image-to-video creation. Atlas Cloud provides Standard, Pro, Master, and start/end-frame endpoints for different quality and control requirements.
Turn text prompts into videos with T2V Master, or animate source images with the Standard, Pro, and Master I2V endpoints. The start/end-frame variant creates controlled motion continuity and smoother transitions between two supplied frames.
Create an Atlas Cloud API key, keep it in a secure server-side environment, and send an authenticated POST request to /api/v1/model/generateVideo. Use the returned prediction ID to monitor the job and retrieve the video URL from outputs after completion.
Choose T2V Master when a text prompt is your primary input and complex motion logic or dynamic camera rendering matters. For image animation, Standard targets fast 720p drafts, Pro balances speed and fidelity, Master prioritizes motion continuity and visual depth, while start/end Pro controls both boundary frames.
Available controls include prompts, negative prompts, five or ten second durations, and guidance scale. T2V Master also exposes 16:9, 9:16, and 1:1 aspect ratios, while image inputs accept JPG, JPEG, or PNG files up to 10 MB with a minimum resolution of 300 by 300 pixels. The start/end endpoint additionally requires an ending image.
Verified standard base prices are $0.056 for I2V Standard, $0.098 for I2V Pro and start/end Pro, and $0.28 for either Master endpoint. These are the original listed rates rather than temporary discounted prices, so review the current request estimate before submission.
Submit the generation request first, and Atlas Cloud will return a prediction ID instead of the finished video. Poll /api/v1/model/prediction/{prediction_id} until the status is completed or succeeded, then read the generated URL from outputs.
Provide both image and end_image to the start/end-frame endpoint together with a prompt. These boundary frames guide motion continuity and the transition across the generated sequence. Each image must follow the documented format, file size, and resolution requirements.
No. Treat a feature shown in a Kling consumer application as unavailable through this Atlas Cloud family unless it appears in the selected endpoint schema. For example, the published schemas for these five endpoints do not expose Multi-Elements controls.
First match the model ID, source image, prompt, negative prompt, duration, guidance scale, and aspect ratio where applicable. The published Atlas Cloud schemas expose no seed parameter for these endpoints, so exact deterministic replay cannot be configured through the listed controls.
