Frequently Asked Questions

  • What is the turbo speed advantage for image-to-video generation?

    Turbo applies fewer refinement passes than standard or Pro modes, so runs finish faster and per-second cost stays lower. Higher tiers add refinement you won't get here. For iteration-heavy workflows, speed usually matters more than that gap.

  • How does providing a reference image differ from text-to-video in practice?

    The photograph defines the visual subject, appearance, composition, and context. The model animates what's already there instead of generating from a description. This produces more predictable visual fidelity to a specific subject, making it preferable when exact appearance matters.

  • Can I provide both a first frame and a last frame simultaneously?

    Yes. Kling v2.5 Turbo Image-to-Video supports both first-frame and last-frame anchoring in the same request. You can define the starting image, ending image, or both endpoints of the generated clip.

  • Does the turbo tier support the same aspect ratios and resolutions as other tiers?

    Yes. Outputs reach up to 1080p at 16:9, 9:16, and 1:1, matching the delivery formats in standard and Pro tiers on the provider.

  • What access tier is required on AI Gateway?

    Video generation is in beta for Pro and Enterprise plans and paid AI Gateway users. Confirm your plan before you build production integrations.

  • Why choose v2.5 Turbo i2v over v2.6 i2v?

    V2.5 Turbo i2v is faster and cheaper when you don't need audio output. V2.6 i2v adds native audio generation and visual quality improvements. Choose v2.6 when synchronized audio is part of your required output.
