Kling: Kling v1.5 Image to Video API

Kling v1.5 Image-to-Video represents a major leap in controllable AI animation, transitioning from "random motion" to "precise trajectory control." The model utilizes an enhanced Diffusion Transformer architecture that allows users to animate static images with a high degree of physical accuracy. Its standout feature, the Motion Brush, enables creators to manually define the movement paths of up to 6 specific elements within a single frame. In the 2025-2026 creative ecosystem, v1.5 remains the preferred choice for tasks requiring localized animation (e.g., making a specific scarf flutter while the person remains still) due to its mature control interface and high-definition 1080p output in Professional Mode.
