See the creation stepsDo I need an account to generate a Short?

Read the billing summaryWhat’s the difference between Cinematic and AI Motion?
Cinematic uses AI-generated images with camera movement, narration, captions, and music. When available, AI Motion upgrades selected scenes to AI-generated video after the Cinematic version is ready. It costs extra and keeps the original version available. It does not animate every scene or guarantee exact actions and character continuity.
Compare the visual optionsCan I edit the finished video?
There is no full timeline editor for the finished video in this workflow. You can edit the script and written storyboard before production and choose the available settings. For further edits after generation, download the MP4 and use your own video editor.
Check settings and editing limitsCan I download the voiceover or scene visuals separately?
No. The ZIP includes the finished MP4 and supporting files, but not separate voiceover, scene images, or music files. Those elements are combined in the video. The script, SRT subtitles, cover image, and storyboard record are included as separate files.
See the download contentsDoes the tool upload my Short to YouTube?
No. Download the finished video and upload it to YouTube yourself. Selecting YouTube Shorts includes suggested publishing copy in your package. Review it before posting. Automatic publishing and scheduling are not included.

Read the commercial-use termsAre my scripts used to train AI models?
We do not use your prompts, uploads, or outputs to train our own AI models. Necessary content may be processed by third-party providers under their own agreements and privacy policies. This does not mean every provider follows the same training or retention rules.
Read the Privacy PolicyWhat happens if generation fails or I dislike the result?
A confirmed system or provider failure that prevents a usable output restores affected credits to their original source under the refund policy. Credit restoration is not a cash refund. A completed video that does not match your preferred style is not automatically refundable. Review the script, storyboard, and settings before production.
