What Kling 3.0 delivers
Kling 3.0 covers the two common starting points for generative video: a written scene description, or an existing image that should come to life. Camera control lets a prompt ask for a specific movement — a slow push-in, a pan — which is often what separates a usable shot from a random clip.
Video is the most expensive modality, so cost control matters. Per-request metering on OpenLux means a clip costs a known amount and appears in the console immediately, which makes it easy to decide how many takes a shot is worth before committing.
At $0.196 per request, generating a handful of candidate shots for an ad or a social post stays in the low single-digit dollars — cheaper than a stock licence for the same length and far cheaper than a shoot.

Send "model": "kling-3.0" to https://openlux.lol/v1 with your OpenLux key, describing the scene in the prompt or supplying a starting image.
