Kling 3 Pro offers the widest range — from 3 to 15 seconds — making it the most flexible option for any content length.
Video cost is calculated per second:
Formula: Duration x 5 credits x Model Multiplier
Example costs for Kling 2.6 Pro (2x multiplier):
5 seconds: 5 x 5 x 2 = 50 credits
10 seconds: 10 x 5 x 2 = 100 credits
Example costs for Kling 3 Pro (2x multiplier):
5 seconds: 5 x 5 x 2 = 50 credits
10 seconds: 10 x 5 x 2 = 100 credits
15 seconds: 15 x 5 x 2 = 150 credits
Example costs for Veo 3.1 (5x multiplier):
4 seconds: 4 x 5 x 5 = 100 credits
8 seconds: 8 x 5 x 5 = 200 credits
Note: If you select a higher resolution (on supported models), the cost is multiplied further — 2x for 1080p, 3x for 4K. Audio generation also adds to the cost where supported.
