Working with Kling 2
Kling v2 is the compact generation: one image-to-video variant and one text-to-video variant, both aimed at polished output with smooth playback and consistent pacing rather than at tiers, effects or motion transfer.
When to choose Kling 2
Choose Kling 2 when you want a plain, predictable Kling call with no tier decision to make. Kling 2.1 adds a Master tier, and 2.5 and later add cinematic motion, audio and 4K.
Choosing between the variants
Image to Video is for animating an existing frame; Text to Video builds the shot from a prompt. There are no quality tiers in this family, which is what makes it simple to call.
