Good to know
Billing
Runs bill your account credits at provider cost with 0% markup. The submit response includes the credit estimate; failed generations are refunded automatically. Add ?dryRun=1 to get the estimate without running anything.
Errors
Errors are always { "error": { "code", "message" } } with stable codes: unauthorized, model_not_available, invalid_parameter, insufficient_credits, rate_limited. A failed run is not an HTTP error — poll responses report status: "FAILED" with the reason.
What makes Kling 3.0 Standard different
The full Kling 3.0 toolkit, at the Standard rate
Kling 3.0 Standard is not a stripped-down model — it has the same controls as Pro on Scenetra: text-to-video, image-to-video with first and last frames, Elements reference images for character consistency, and native audio. The difference is the fidelity target and the price: $0.084 per second without audio versus Pro's $0.112. That makes Standard the natural tier for iteration.
Elements for consistent characters and products
Attach reference images of a character or object and Kling 3.0 Standard keeps them recognizable through the generated video. Reuse the same Elements across generations to build a series with one cast — a capability that used to require Pro-tier budgets to experiment with.
First and last frame control
Set a starting frame to animate a specific image, or pin both a first and last frame and let the model generate the motion connecting them. Transformations, reveals, and match cuts become directable rather than a prompt lottery — and at Standard pricing, cheap enough to retry until the cut lands.
Five durations up to 15 seconds
Choose 3, 5, 8, 10, or 15 seconds per generation. Per-second billing means a 3-second test costs $0.25 without audio, so you can explore compositions quickly, then commit to a full 15-second scene once the prompt is dialed in.

Frequently asked questions
What is Kling 3.0 Standard?+
Kling 3.0 Standard is the cost-effective tier of Kuaishou's Kling 3.0 video model. It generates videos from text or images, supports first and last frame control, Elements reference images for character consistency, and native audio — the same controls as Kling 3.0 Pro, at a lower per-second rate. On Scenetra it runs as a node in the visual workflow editor.
How much does Kling 3.0 Standard cost?+
On Scenetra it is billed per second: $0.084/s without audio, $0.126/s with audio, and $0.154/s when voice control is used with audio. A 5-second clip with audio costs $0.63; a 15-second clip with audio costs $1.89. There is no subscription — you pay per generation from your credit balance.
Is Kling 3.0 free to use?+
Kling 3.0 Standard is a paid model. On Scenetra it is pay-per-generation with no monthly plan required and nothing to cancel. Scenetra is web-based, so it works anywhere.
What is the difference between Kling 3.0 Standard and Pro?+
Feature-wise they match on Scenetra: durations from 3 to 15 seconds, first/last frames, Elements, and native audio. Pro targets higher visual fidelity and costs $0.112/s versus Standard's $0.084/s (audio off). Many users iterate on Standard and re-run the winning prompt on Pro — both are nodes on the same board, so switching is one click.
Does Kling 3.0 Standard generate audio?+
Yes. Audio is generated together with the video and bills at $0.126 per second instead of $0.084. There is also a voice-control tier at $0.154 per second for directing generated speech. Leave audio off if you plan to score the footage yourself.
How is Kling 3.0 different from Kling 2.6?+
Kling 3.0 extends durations up to 15 seconds (2.6 caps at 10), adds Elements reference images for character consistency, offers more duration choices, and introduces voice control for audio. Kling 2.6 remains the cheaper option at $0.07/s without audio and is still a solid pick for quick 5-10 second social clips. Both are available side by side on Scenetra.
Is Kling 3.0 Standard good enough for client work?+
For social content, concept films, and previz, many teams ship Standard output directly. For hero assets where fidelity is the priority, generate drafts on Standard and finals on Kling 3.0 Pro. Because Scenetra shows every model on one board, comparing the two tiers on your actual prompt takes a minute.
