## Positioning

Kling 2.5 Pro generates 5–10 second cinematic video clips with photorealistic humans and smooth motion. It is the budget-tier option for developers who need cost-effective text-to-video or image-to-video generation without sacrificing visual quality.

## About

Created by Kuaishou, this model produces 5–10 second video outputs from text prompts or reference images. It is optimized for photorealistic human subjects and fluid motion, making it suitable for brand b-roll, character shots, and short cinematic sequences.

On Kyma, the model accepts text and image inputs and returns video outputs. Prompt caching is supported, billing repeated prompt prefixes at 10% of the standard input rate. Every request includes automatic failover, exact cost reporting in usage.cost, and the X-Kyma-Model response header.

Generation operates on a slower speed tier compared to fast alternatives. The model does not support audio, reasoning, or structured outputs, and output length is capped at 10 seconds.

## Use cases

- **Brand B-Roll Generation** — Produce short, photorealistic background clips for marketing campaigns and product showcases.
- **Character Shot Creation** — Generate consistent 5–10 second video sequences featuring realistic human subjects from text or image prompts.
- **Cinematic Short Clips** — Render smooth, high-quality motion video for storyboarding, social media, or pre-visualization workflows.

## Not ideal for

Do not use this model if you require fast generation speeds, audio output, or video clips longer than 10 seconds.

## Pick something else when

- You need faster generation speeds → `seedance-2-fast`, `veo-3-fast`
- You require audio alongside video output → `kling-3-pro-audio`
- You need higher quality or longer sequences → `kling-3-pro`, `veo-3`
