Kling V3 Pro
Kling V3 Pro delivers cinematic, multi-shot video with native audio and precise director-style control — all in a single model.
Overview
What is Kling V3 Pro
Kling V3 Pro is Kuaishou's premium text-to-video AI model, released February 14, 2026 as part of the Kling 3.0 family. It generates cinematic clips up to 15 seconds long with smooth motion, native audio, and strong prompt adherence, enabling director-level control over camera movement, lighting, and narrative structure from text alone.
Running it privately on Venice
On Venice, Kling V3 Pro runs with anonymized privacy — your prompts are not stored, profiled, or used for training. You get uncensored access to its full multimodal capabilities, including native audio generation and multi-shot storytelling, without tying generations to a personal account. Pay per clip, not a subscription, so usage stays private and cost-efficient.

Samples
Sample outputs
Generated on Venice with our standard prompt suite — the same prompts we run through every model of this type, so you can judge it like-for-like.
Slow aerial drone shot gliding over a misty mountain valley at golden hour, sunlight piercing clouds onto a winding river, ancient pine forests on either side, ultra-smooth motion, professional color grading, atmospheric haze, 4K
Calm ocean waves rolling onto a black-sand beach at sunrise, golden light on wet sand, foam dissolving into the shore, a single silhouetted figure at the waterline, smooth continuous forward push, serene cinematic atmosphere
A slow tracking shot through a rain-soaked Tokyo street at night, neon reflecting in puddles, steam rising from a food cart, a person with a translucent umbrella, shallow depth of field, teal-and-orange grade, smooth steady camera
