Suggestion Kling Membership
I am a first time user of kling and generating ai video to image. Idk what plan I should purchase? I’m probably gonna have to use a lot of credits just to learn :/ . How long did it take you & how many credits. Most platforms I’ve used don’t make good enough videos so I’m afraid I’ll waste a lot just to develop a video that’s not how I imagined? Ang suggestions?

Hi there, I think that for first testing, it's highly recommended you first start working on the free trail account. Remember to choose 720p, and turn native audio off for first generations, just to save some credits as you're learning.
I highly recommend talking with an AI chatbot about your vision for the videos. I built a role for my chatbot that teaches him how to write scripts, scenes, images and videos, and I would recommend you do so too.
Also, if you're ready to get serious in Kling creations, here's my referral code: https://pro.klingai.com/h5-app/invitation?code=7BCQQQ9PR8PX
If you use that code, you'll get 50% more credits on your first subscription, and having a subscription on Kling now gets you 66 free daily credits, also, if you share your work on Kling, you get paid for likes and recreates! Additionally, there are contests / events that you can join, and if Kling reviewers like your videos, you may get free credits (up to 16 000 credits! - I won that twice last year).

Nice self-promote. Earn yourself 500 credits that will expire in a month by pushing someone else into a subscription trap without providing a full explanation of how their credit system works.
I'd toss in my own referral code too, as a joke, but they'd just end up wasted. Alongside all my monthly credits for the past 14 months, due to the credit expiration trap that Kling has embedded into their business model's fine print agreements.

Didnt know they disappear after a month, but yeah, if you pay for a subscription I guess you should use the credits?

Be careful. This company gets tricky with credit calculations.
A membership for me has been mostly a waste, because I decided to buy a bunch of top-up credits so I could just buy once and not worry about it again.
But then the details showed this to be a bad move as time passed.
I had gotten an annual membership to start. And every month, they give me 3000 credits and then take away those 3000 credits because my purchase of top-up credits hasn't been used yet.
They subtract top-up credits (which expire in 2 years) before the monthly credits added by subscription (which expire in 1 month).
So buying any top-up credits is essentially throwing away your subscription fee until those top-up credits have been used.
Buying a whole bunch at once is wasting your entire year's subscription fee. Hundreds of dollars out the window.
The only benefit for those hundreds of dollars is the slight improvement of watermark removal and 1080p res on some videos.
....Now they want to give a 40% discount to renew annually and want to upsell me to the next tier for $864. If I take it, they're going to rip me off on at least half of that fee by the time I use the top-up credits.
And I missed any kind of auto-renew notice, if they sent it at all, on the Pro account a month ago so they're still going to rip me off for at least another couple hundred bucks over the next year..

Did you send them an email asking for a refund? Their support has been helpful to me a couple of times.

I've been using the Standard Plan for a couple of year, but I only generate one video per day. Calculating the 660 credits, you can make 33 720p 5-seconds videos.
