API Endpoint

POSThttps://api.segmind.com/v1/kling-2.6-standard-motion-control

Parameters

promptrequired
string

Input scene description and effects. For nostalgia, consider '1920s street carnival with vintage cars'.

character_orientationoptional
string

Set character orientation from image or video. Choose 'video' for dynamic movement; 'image' for static views.

Default: "video"
Allowed values :
"video""image"
image_urloptional
string (uri)

Reference image URL shapes video elements. Use a photo with clear character proportions for best results.

keep_original_soundoptional
boolean

Preserve original video sound for authenticity. Ideal for including ambient street noise.

Default: true
video_urloptional
string (uri)

Reference video URL sets character actions. Use a full-body video for complex movements.

Response Type

Returns: Video

Asynchronous requests (v2)

Use Async for video, long-running (>~60s), or high-concurrency workloads; Sync is simplest for fast image & LLM calls. Async submits a request and you poll it to completion.

  1. 1
    POST /v2/kling-2.6-standard-motion-control

    Submitreturns request_id, status_url, response_url

  2. 2
    GET /v2/requests/{id}/status

    Polluntil COMPLETED or FAILED

  3. 3
    GET /v2/requests/{id}

Status states

QUEUEDAccepted, waiting for a worker
PROCESSINGRunning on a worker
COMPLETEDDone — result body is ready
FAILEDErrored (incl. content/RAI blocks)
  • A FAILED request is served as HTTP 422 — the body still carries the error detail.
  • An unknown or expired request_id returns HTTP 404.
  • Results are retained for 1 hour, then expire.
  • Content / RAI blocks surface as FAILED, not a separate state.
  • Track completion by polling the status endpoint.
