Make your first video
Video Studio at /app/generate (with mode=video) builds short clips at 16:9. You can start from a still (image-to-video, the predictable path) or from a prompt only (text-to-video, faster to iterate). Standard tier is 12 credits/second; Premium is 16. Audio doubles the cost.
Run a video#
-
Open the Video Wizard. Click Video Studio on the dashboard.
-
Upload a start frame. Drag and drop or pick from recent generations. Skip this and go text-to-video if you have no still.
-
(Optional) add an end frame. Defines where the motion lands. Same product on a different background works well.
-
Pick a vibe. Cinematic, Playful, Moody, or Product. The vibe steers tone without you writing a long prompt.
-
Set duration. 3, 5, 8, or 10 seconds. Start short.
-
Pick the tier. Standard for testing, Premium for delivery.
-
Toggle audio. Adds ambient sound. Doubles credits.
-
Generate. Clips render in 30 to 90 seconds. Save winners to a board.
Tips#
Tip: Start at 5 to 8 seconds. Long clips drift; short ones cut cleanly into ads and feeds. Run a second clip if you need more screen time, not a longer one.
Tip: Image-to-video is more predictable than text-to-video. If you already love a still, animate that still.
Tip: Premium matters more for fast motion than slow. Slow zooms look great at Standard.
Vibes explained#
- Cinematic. Film grain, slow moves. Hero spots, brand films.
- Playful. Light, airy, energetic. Social, lifestyle, youth-skewing.
- Moody. Atmospheric, restrained. Luxury, fragrance, fashion editorial.
- Product. Clean hero motion. Catalog, e-commerce, ad spots.
My clip warps or melts#
Usually a sign of asking for more motion than the model can render cleanly. Reduce the motion description or shorten the duration.
Audio does not match the visual#
Audio is matched to the scene description. Be more specific in the user-intent field about the sound you want.
