Kling v2.1 Standard

What is Kling v2.1 Standard Video Generator

Kling v2.1 Standard is Kuaishou's efficient image-to-video model designed for cost-effective animation at scale. The model transforms reference images into animated video with CFG and negative prompt controls, delivering reliable quality at accessible pricing.

Kuaishou developed Standard to serve regular content production needs. While lacking Pro's end frame feature, Standard provides essential controls for directing animation outcomes. The balance between capability and cost makes Standard ideal for high-volume workflows.

Standard serves creators who need efficient animation without premium pricing. Regular content production, social media workflows, and volume generation benefit from Standard's accessible cost structure.

Core Features of Kling v2.1 Standard

Image-to-Video Animation

Transform static images into animated video content efficiently. Upload photographs, artwork, or designs as references. Describe the motion you want. Standard animates your image while maintaining visual quality.

The efficient approach delivers reliable results. Quality suits social media and standard content applications. Animation preserves source image characteristics throughout.

CFG Scale Control

Adjust generation behavior with CFG scale. Higher values produce animation following prompts more strictly. Lower values allow more natural variation in motion.

CFG control enables directing animation outcomes. Find optimal settings for your specific content types through experimentation.

Negative Prompts

Specify unwanted animation characteristics to exclude. Define motion types or effects to avoid. Standard actively excludes these during generation.

Negative prompts refine animation direction. Combine with positive prompts for better control over outcomes.

Cost-Efficient Pricing

Standard offers competitive pricing for image animation. 150 credits for 5-second clips and 300 credits for 10-second videos. The pricing supports high-volume production without budget strain.

Cost efficiency enables more generation within budgets. Regular content workflows benefit from accessible pricing.

Duration Options

Generate 5 or 10-second animations based on needs. Shorter durations suit quick social content. Longer clips enable more developed animation.

Both lengths include full control features. Choose based on content requirements and budget considerations.

How to Use Kling v2.1 Standard Effectively

Writing Animation Prompts

Focus prompts on motion rather than appearance. Your image defines visual style. Describe how subjects should move, what changes should occur, and animation dynamics.

Clear motion direction produces better results. Include speed, direction, and quality descriptions for animation.

Adjusting CFG Scale

Start with default values for baseline results. Increase CFG for animation following prompts more closely. Decrease for more natural, organic motion.

Test different values to understand effects. Document successful settings for similar future projects.

Using Negative Prompts

Specify concrete motion characteristics to avoid. Exclude specific animation types or effects. Be precise about unwanted qualities.

Targeted negatives produce better results than vague exclusions. Focus on specific unwanted characteristics.

Maximizing Cost Efficiency

Test concepts with shorter durations first. Verify animation direction before longer generations. Use Standard for volume work, reserving premium models for specific needs.

Strategic model selection optimizes overall costs. Standard handles most everyday animation efficiently.
