Use this endpoint to apply one of Kling’s preset effect scenes and turn the input assets into a new short video.

​
Choose an effect scene

  • hug and kiss are two-person interaction presets
  • fuzzyfuzzy, squish, expansion, and heart_gesture are stylized preset effects
  • The exact asset shape depends on the effect, but the request always wraps provider-specific settings inside input

​
