Facts checked 2026-10-01.

Step 1: the idea

Write one sentence about what we should see: the subject, the light and the camera move.

Step 2: the script

Choose Voiceover and write what the voice should say, up to 50 words. About two and a half words make a second, so 50 words is a 20 second video.

Step 3: the voice and the size

Pick a male or female voice, then choose 4K Ultra HD and your shape, 16:9 or 9:16.

Step 4: the cost, before you press Create

The price appears as you type and changes with your script. In 4K it runs from 2 credits for a short clip to 8 credits for 20 seconds.

An honest note about 4K

Your video is created at 720p and enhanced to 4K. That makes it sharper and cleaner on a big screen. It does not add detail that was never in the picture.
