Frequently Asked Questions
9:16 (1080×1920) for Reels and Stories; 1:1 or 4:5 for in-feed; 16:9 (1920×1080) for in-stream and most placements. We output 16:9 and 9:16 — for 1:1 you can crop the 16:9 output in any editor, or stick to 9:16 which works almost everywhere.
Yes. Download the MP4 from your account, upload it as the asset for your ad in Ads Manager. No conversion needed — it's already in the right codec.
Yes. The audio is generated by our AI and rendered into the MP4 — no licensed music, no third-party clips. You won't get a copyright strike. (Facebook will still mute the audio by default in some placements; that's a Facebook setting, not a file issue.)
Every clip is 6 seconds or 8 seconds long. 8s is the default for paid plans. We don't generate longer durations — pick a tight scene and a clear visual idea and you'll get more out of each render than you would from a stretched-out template clip.
Pick 720p (1 credit) or 1080p (2 credits). Both ship with audio at 24fps. We don't offer 4K.
There is no free tier. The cheapest way in is the one-time $2.99 pack, which gives you a single 720p clip with audio and commercial-use license — no subscription required. If a render fails for any reason, the credit is refunded automatically.
Most clips finish in 45–90 seconds. Peak times can push that to two minutes. You'll see live progress — no dead spinner.
Yes. Every paid plan and credit pack ships with a commercial-use license, including the $2.99 intro pack. Run it as a paid ad, embed it on a landing page, or hand it to a client.
Only the 3-second teaser preview shown before purchase has a watermark. Every downloaded clip on every paid plan is watermark-free.
