Questions about this occasion
How long does it take?
It depends on the length and quality you choose. Short films are the quickest; you can close the tab while the film renders and come back to it.
Can the film be for a child?
An adult account holder can make a film about a child with the parent’s or guardian’s permission to use the photo.
How much does it cost?
Films are paid in coins. The price depends on length and quality and is shown on the Price step before you pay anything; until you sign in, it is an approximate estimate. You pay twice: first for the script and images, then for the video after you have seen the storyboard.
How long does it take to make a film?
After you confirm the storyboard and pay for the video, we shoot the scenes and assemble the film. How long it takes depends on length and quality. You can close the tab — the film keeps rendering.
Vertical or horizontal?
Both. Choose 9:16 for phones, Stories and Reels, or 16:9 for a TV, a laptop or YouTube. The frame and the film language are fixed once you pay for the script.
Can I try it for free?
Yes. Choosing a theme, writing your story with AI hints, picking length and style and seeing the price are all free and need no account. You only sign in when you decide to pay.
