How to do it, step by step
Sign up free
Sign in with Google. You only pay when you buy credits.
Buy a one-time pack
Choose a pack on the pricing page, from $4.99. There is no renewal and nothing to cancel.
Check the price, then generate
Pick a model, length and resolution. The button shows the exact credits before you start, and credits for a failed generation are refunded automatically.

Unused pack credits stay in your account. Buy another pack whenever you run low.
Prompts you can copy
Swap in your own subject and keep the structure: what moves, how the camera moves, and what stays the same.
Cheap test clip
The woman turns toward the camera, smiles and brushes her hair behind her ear. Soft daylight, slow camera push-in, natural motion.
Test motion on a cheap model, then rerun the best prompt on a premium one.
Product loop
The bottle rotates slowly on a reflective surface while light sweeps across the label. Clean studio background, smooth and steady camera.
Short product loops work well even at 480p for social posts.
Tips for better results
Draft cheap, finish premium
Find the right photo and prompt with MiniMax H3 Max Turbo or Seedance 2.0 Mini, then spend more credits on Seedance, Kling or Veo for the final clip.
Short and 480p first
Price grows with length and resolution. Test at 5 seconds and the lowest resolution, and only scale up the take you like.
When a plan is cheaper
If you generate every week, a monthly plan gives more credits per dollar. Plan credits reset each month; pack credits never expire.
Sound is often included
On Seedance, Veo and MiniMax H3 models, sound costs no extra credits. Kling 3.0 and 2.6 charge extra for audio.
