What do you get back from Kling 2.6 Pro Image to Video, and how long does a run take?
Every run returns one video. A single run gives you between 5 and 10 seconds. It produces the audio along with the picture. Runs are queued and processed in the background, so you can close the tab — the finished file turns up in your library. We do not quote a fixed wall-clock time: it moves with the length of the run and with how busy the queue is.
