Prompt Output

Prompt text is stored in this browser draft only during the prototype. Use Download TXT before clearing drafts, switching devices, or redeploying the hosted app.

Pay as you create

Build bigger films without buying a giant fixed plan.

Credits cover planning, images, storyboards, prompts, video jobs, and platform runtime. The account stays flexible: refill manually, set recurring purchases later, or connect your own API keys to lower generation spend.

Credit system Refill credits as needed.

Credits are charged only when work is submitted.

Purchase Credits

Normal Account purchase estimate.

$0.00
5,000 credits No discount

Checkout connection is coming later; this panel shows the exact offer users will see.

Membership

$5.00 / month

Keeps the studio account active and covers the base platform layer.

  • Pay-as-you-go credits for actual production work.
  • No bundled tier limit hiding how much a project really uses.
  • Built for small tests or full long-form movie pipelines.
Advanced Account with key

Add API keys when you want lower generation cost.

Own-key mode keeps platform tools active while routing provider usage through your saved key.

Production credits

Normal Account vs Advanced Account with key.

Exact credit confirmations appear before generation. Large runs ask twice.

Referral access

Invite people with access codes.

Admins can create codes. New users sign up with the code, and the referrer can receive credits when rewards are enabled.

Why credits instead of tiers?

The platform is built around usage. A tiny concept test should not carry the same bill as a full movie database run, and a heavy month should scale naturally when more storyboards, videos, and revisions are created.

Auto refillComing as a user setting for uninterrupted queues.
Recurring credit packsPlanned for people who generate every week.
Transparent estimatesConfirm cost before a run, then track project spend afterward.
Cloud usage modelThe business can scale like usage-based hosting: more production work creates more credit revenue.

Standalone Media Creation

Create an image or video from exactly the prompt you bring. This does not require a storyboard.

Generate an image first if this video model needs an image reference.

Movie Progress
