Hired out

$8,900

Made here

$21

That whole list fits inside a single month of any plan, with most of its budget left over — so nothing above is an extra charge.

Hired-out figures are typical US freelance and small-studio rates for this work — yours will differ. M Studio figures are what the same work draws from your monthly budget at the default models’ rates, where storyboard pictures are 25¢ each, finished shots and edits of a shot are 5¢ per second, and voiceover, music and sound effects draw nothing.

How it works

From script to screen in six steps

M Studio builds a film shot by shot, and you direct every shot — this is the whole path, start to finish.

  1. 01

    Start a film

    Start from a one-line brief, or import a screenplay PDF and build straight from the pages you already wrote.

  2. 02

    Add your script

    Scenes, action and dialogue laid out shot by shot — editable line by line before anything renders.

  3. 03

    Add your characters

    Add each character once with a reference image so the same face carries across every shot in the film.

  4. 04

    Build the storyboard

    Your script breaks into shots on a canvas. Reorder, reframe and re-prompt any shot until the board reads right.

  5. 05

    Make the video clips

    Turn approved storyboard pictures into video clips one shot at a time, then layer voiceover, music and sound effects.

  6. 06

    Export the cut

    Take the finished cut out as an MP4, MOV or WebM, up to 4K on Professional and up, ready for the edit or the pitch.

There is no length cap in the editor. Because films are made shot by shot, how long a film can run comes down to how many video clips your plan includes — not a limit in the tool.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

There's no free plan or free trial — every plan is paid, starting at $99/month. When a trial is offered, new accounts can start with a paid trial: you pay the small trial fee today and get the script, storyboard, scene audio, score and a few video clips of single shots. When the trial ends, the plan you chose starts automatically and your card is charged, unless you cancel first in Settings → Billing. The trial fee is not refunded. Within 24 hours of your first plan payment you can ask for a refund: we pay back what you paid, minus what you generated in that time at each model's standard price. You can also see what M Studio makes before you pay — the demo gallery has complete films made on M Studio, start to finish.

Yes — there's no cap on film length. Films are built shot by shot, so how long a piece can run comes down to your plan's monthly budget rather than any limit in the editor — and on the Unlimited plan there is no budget at all, which is what episodic work is sized for. If you're planning something feature-length or a multi-episode series, talk to us before you subscribe and we'll tell you honestly what it will take on your script.

Plans with a budget include it each month; the pricing page shows each one. Video draws from it by the second, and each plan card shows how many minutes of AI video the budget buys at today's price, or about how many storyboard pictures it buys instead. Re-takes count too, so the minutes are what you generate, not the length of your final cut. On Unlimited ($249/month) there is no budget to count: AI video and storyboard frames have no monthly cap. Voiceover, music and sound effects cost nothing on every plan.

Unlimited ($249/month) has no monthly cap on AI video or storyboard frames, and voiceover, music and sound effects are unlimited too. So that every film keeps moving, 4 of your videos render at once and the rest wait their turn in your queue. It runs on our own video and storyboard models; premium models are not part of it. Unlimited includes MCP access for Claude, ChatGPT and Cursor, but not direct API access. The trial before it is the same trial as every plan's, with the same limits; Unlimited starts when the trial ends.

One flat price each month. Plans with a budget include it each month — $225 on Professional and $450 on Studio. Video draws from it by the second and storyboard pictures by the picture, and each plan card shows what the budget buys at today's prices. On Unlimited there is no budget: AI video and storyboard frames have no monthly cap. Voiceover, music and sound effects cost nothing. Settings → Billing shows the running balance at any time. Nothing extra is ever charged unless you choose to top up.

Yes. Every generation that reaches the model is charged, including re-takes and shots you end up discarding — a generation that fails before it reaches the model is not. Most directors budget two to three attempts on the shots that matter, so read the plan budget as generations rather than as finished shots. On Unlimited there is no budget, so re-takes cost nothing.

Yes. Storyboard pictures and video clips are both charged per generation, and both draw from the same monthly budget. There is no separate free allowance for storyboard pictures.

Between 3 and 15 seconds, and 5 seconds is the default. You set the length per shot, and longer shots cost proportionally more because video is billed by the second.

Nothing stops automatically. You can buy a top-up to keep going, or wait until next month. No surprise charges — you're always in control, and you can cancel any time.

Sometimes. Every shot passes through the underlying model's own safety filter, and action — fights, stunts, weapons — is what trips it most often. Re-prompting the shot or switching the model for that one shot usually clears it. If action carries your film, test a fight beat in your first session so you know where the line sits before you build a slate around it. Our Acceptable Use terms set the outer boundary.

One film is one workspace for a film or storyboard. The number of films on your plan is how many you can keep at once, not how many you can make in a month — delete a film you've finished and the slot comes straight back.

Yes. You own the content you generate and you can use it commercially, including monetized YouTube, client work and ads. See our Terms for the full wording.

You can cancel any time from Settings → Billing; you keep access until the end of the period you've paid for. A cancelled trial stays open until it ends, then closes without starting the plan. For a refund, ask within 24 hours of your first plan payment: we pay back what you paid, minus what you generated in that time at each model's standard price, and if you generated nothing you get it all back (a trial fee is not refunded). Email hello@mstudio.ai or start a live chat and we'll sort it out. To delete your account and its data entirely, email the same address and we'll delete it. You don't need Discord for any of this.

US dollars, everywhere on the site. Your bank converts at its own rate on the day, so the amount on your statement will differ from the sticker price if you're billed in another currency.

Twelve: English, Chinese, Hindi, Spanish, French, Arabic, Portuguese, Russian, Japanese, German, Italian, and Korean. Pick the language when you create a film — the script, dialogue, and voice narration are generated in it — and dub any finished clip into another of them from AI VFX, with every speaker keeping their own voice.
