What Kling Motion Control costs
Kling Motion Control is priced by the length of the performance video you give it. One clip on Root, in dollars.
| Performance video | 720p | 1080p |
|---|---|---|
| 5 s | up to $0.73 | up to $0.97 |

Make your Kling credits go further
- Try the idea on Kling 2.5 Turbo first, the cheapest clip in the table.
- Leave sound off while you test the motion, and turn it on for the final take.
- Keep test clips short and at 720p. Price goes up with length and size.
- Start from an image when you know how the shot should open, so fewer takes miss.
